Cheeks - I want to glow!

[ShreddedHoops]

Makeup experts - what are your face products for cheeks? I love the NARS Orgasm look, and highlighters and things but I actually don't know where to start. Is it blusher under cheekbones then a highlighter on the top bits? I've used a Clinique stick blusher for years and it's easy to apply but I want to look glowy, flushed, sexy and a bit shimmery without looking OTT. Healthy I suppose? Help

I definitely recommend the Sali Hughes videos on the Guardian website. Her FB "Get the Look" group was ace and she's now got her own website. The blusher tutorial is great and I watched another video, may have been pixiwoos, where they recommend blending in your blusher with your powder brush after applying it to "smooth" it out a bit. It works really well.

This is a great highlighting powder

No sparkly bits, no obvious glitter so it doesn't look as though my 3yr old has been let loose on my face with her craft box. I always find the liquid highlighters such as Benefit High Beam mess up my foundation. Maybe I'm applying it wrong.

I second the boujouis cream blush no.2 which is a bright apricot colour. I'd only ever used muted pink powder blushes before but tried this one after seeing it recommended on another thread and it is brilliant - really natural looking on although it looks garish as hell in the pot. I'll never go back to powder!

That Soap and Glory one looks worth a shot but I think I'd rather find a cream highlighter, I have quite dry skin and don't use any powders at all, which is much better for me...

Fuck it, NARS counter here I come - it generally works out cheaper going to the posh places as the assistants know what will work for me, so I don't waste money. I like the idea of a co-ordinating blusher and highlighter. Has anyone tried the NARS Multiple stick blusher? Really appeals but quite bad reviews online say not v pigmented.
