I never seem to find the time to go to one of the beauty counters in stores and am a bit rubbish at choosing my own.

I have dyed 'morello cherry' hair and pale to warm skin.

Any suggestions for a 'one suits everyone' blusher that I can buy online??

May I ask, Dame, which seventeen bronzer you have - am looking for one with similar requirements. Thanks.

Eliza22 · 16/09/2014 21:46

Clinique Smouldering Plum. Lovely. Have bought many, many times.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 16/09/2014 23:51

Beachy-it's a pressed powder one called instant glow. I hate blusher, have never worn it and bronzer would have me screaming for the hills but this really is amazingSmile

I have used Boots No 7 & Just Seventeen blusher alternately in Nude. This is a suits all shade & I have bought this for myself & various friends for the last 15 years.

Bobbi Brown Slopes (powder blush). No glitter! totally matte.

have googled and now i want that bourjois one ... !

beachywaves · 17/09/2014 07:03

Thanks for that Dame - am off to Boots.

ImogenQuy · 17/09/2014 07:07

Has anyone mentioned Benefit Benetint yet? It's a liquid in a bottle, and you paint a couple of stripes on and rub it in so you just look naturally pink-cheeked. Even a klutz like me can put it on competently.

AwkwardSquad · 17/09/2014 07:50

Bourjois rose amber here too. Liked benetint but it doesn't last on me.

FamiliesShareGerms · 17/09/2014 17:59

I use Bourjois rose de jaspe as I'm very pale. It's brilliant - even a blusher klutz like me can get a variety of looks (intense cheek bone highlighting, light blush of colour of the apples). Lovely curved brush and mirror included and often on 3 for 2 in Boots

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 17/09/2014 18:34

Is there any glitter in the Bourjois ones ?

Madaboutthrows · 17/09/2014 20:16

Benefit dandelion?

Nars orgasm. best blush ever and i'm a blush addict.

FamiliesShareGerms · 17/09/2014 22:46

DameD the Bourjois look sparkly in the pot but not when on

CatWitch · 17/09/2014 22:49

I have very fair skin and use Benefit Dandelion as a blush even though it is labeled as a face brightener. It is a gorgeous subtle pink. No glitter

GatoradeMeBitch · 18/09/2014 11:32

I'm very pale but Dandelion doesn't show up on my skin. I used it up as a face powder in the end. Orgasm is a lovely blush, but I don't always feel I can carry off glitter, especially in the day.

My favourite currently is the Bourjois Cream Blush in 01.

mimiasovitch · 18/09/2014 11:39

I was told that a blusher should be the colour of your ears. Mine are very pale pink, so I use a relatively pale blush, and it really does suit me.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 18/09/2014 14:06

Families-thanksSmile

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 18/09/2014 18:37

I'm a bit cats bum mouth about 'orgasm' and 'deep throat' Shock Urgh!

lordnoobson · 18/09/2014 19:13

Afaicr not called that I. The USA

Lucked · 18/09/2014 19:24

I am pale and love orgasm, I will have to try deep throat. I prefer the powder to the creams. I read on a blog this week that Laura Mercier orange blossom is like orgasm only better so I may get that for Christmas.

My ear lobes are white, not sure that theory works for meGrin
