Non sparkly blusher does it exist?

I've had enough of looking like a fairy. Why do all blushers have so much glitter in them?

Can anyone recommend a non sparkly blusher? Preferably under £15.

Bourjois creme blusher - cheap n' lovely

NamasteGirl · 02/11/2014 16:33

The Bourjois cream ones are good. Mac do glitter free ones too. Their pink Well Dressed blush is gorgeous.

AlpacaYourThings · 02/11/2014 16:35

I have a few MAC ones that don't have glitter in them.

I like the L'oreal le blush, I have a baby pinkish colour and a orangey brownish pink colour and they are both nice

bluesbaby · 02/11/2014 17:12

Would love to know!

My favourite matte blushers have been discontinued :( No 17 were matte.

Sleek have some. They are very pigmented though so be careful when applying to avoid looking like a clown.

Inglot also have some. I only have one blusher from them, but I'm really pleased with it. It's quite pigmented but I find it a bit easier to blend than Sleek.

Mac also have loads.

Dawndonnaagain · 02/11/2014 17:39

Definitely Mac. I have some, and as an oldie don't really do glittery stuff!

MorrisZapp · 02/11/2014 17:40

Stila convertible colour is gorgeous and non sparkly.

Thestandingjokeoftheyear · 02/11/2014 17:42

Bobbi Brown blushers. Bit more pricey tho.

Ujjayi · 02/11/2014 17:57

Dior's Rosy Glow is gorgeous & sparkle-free. More expensive than £15 but worth the money as very long lasting.

2nd boots natural collection

LosBreakingBad · 02/11/2014 18:38

I've just been out to buy a non sparkly blusher, as I too am very old and unsparkly. I've bought a Laura Mercier one as she seemed to have a good selection of matte blushers. It was over £15 though.

Botanicbaby · 02/11/2014 21:33

yeah the boots natural collection creme blushers in a squeezy tube are not sparkly, they give a really lovely 'glow' and the applicator is brilliant you don't waste any. they are about 2.99 I think. Bargain.

SweetPeaPods · 02/11/2014 21:35

Bourjois or Max factor

cheeseismydownfall · 02/11/2014 21:38

I love my Bare minerals blusher, totally matte. I have it in Whisper which is warm and not too pink (I'm am autumn).

BlueberryWafer · 02/11/2014 21:49

Natural Collection is great and no glitter at all. this is the one I use and it looks really natural!

Pramula · 02/11/2014 21:51

Yes agree, Bare minerals.

OscarWinningActress · 02/11/2014 21:54

I have a Christian Dior one which I LOVE. It's over your price point but you get quite a good amount and it's highly pigmented (thus you require less) so it lasts for ages.

gennibugs · 02/11/2014 21:59

I got a boots no7 one Friday and it's non sparkly. The lady at the till gave me a five pound off voucher which made it even cheaper. They had a reasonable selection of colours.

Mac have plenty of non sparkly too.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/11/2014 23:07

The stamp ones by seventeen are excellent.

Honeydragon · 02/11/2014 23:14

Boots natural collection. I won't use any other.

CareBearWithFangs · 03/11/2014 14:02

Off to have a browse round boots. Thanks for all the suggestions. I also feel too old to be sparkly.

I got the Dior healthy glow. A lot more than I intended to spend but I only bought the one thing which is very unusual when I go into department stores.
