A decent high street / drugstore blusher?

I love Nars blushers but can't really justify that ££ at the moment.

Can anyone recommend a good blusher that's under the £10 mark?

Looking for a neutral pinky/plum shade which will see me through autumn/winter. Something quite longlasting would be good. Prefer powder.

Thanks!

Sleek from Superdrug are fantastic. Rose gold is a pretty good dupe for Nars Orgasm which so many people seem to love.

They're highly pigmented so you need to be careful applying, but they're fantastic.

They're under a fiver too.

No7 powder blush is quite good IMO. People rave about the Bourjois little pots but I'm not crazy about the strong perfume. Body Shop might be worth a look too. I really like their bronzer but haven't tried their blusher for years.

Sleek and Body Shop are a good call thanks. Love the Body Shop shimmer palette thing so that's a good sign perhaps..? Not tried Sleek but will try to pop to a Superdrug to see what they have in :)

Now you mention it, my very first blusher was a No7 and the perfect nude-yet-slightly-plummy shade. Might see if they have similar still on sale.

I've tried Bourjois in the past (damn those cute little tempting pots) - but the pigment and lasting power hasn't been great on my skin. Shame, as the teeny size is great for a makeup bag.

YY to Sleek, I wear their Life's a Peach almost every day. Perfect shade for me, I find the texture/blendability very similar to NARS Douceur.

Oooh, the Rimmel single blushers are nice and a total bargain too

Life's A Peach is my staple too. Lovely colour!

Just had a quick peek at Sleek online. Life's a Peach - is that a peachy glow kind of effect? Looks quite orange but I know colours can be odd on a monitor. Mind you, for under £5 each, I could get one nudey colour and one more flushed shade :)

It does look really orange in the packaging but doesn't look like that on, thankfully! It's more like a subtle coral glow.

Bourgeois blushes are excellent.

Sleek are very good. But you have to be a bit careful when applying them as they are very pigmented.

I have the blush by 3 palettes in Lace and Pink Sprint, and they are very nice.
Lace are coral/peachy/orange colours (one of the colours is Rose Gold), while Pink Sprint are pink/plummy/berry colours.

Life's a Peach is scary in the box but it is much better on the skin.
