Please recommend me a powder blusher

I am pale-ish skinned (wear BD40 colour foundation in YSL), mid brown hair and green eyes. 41 years old.

I usually have two blushers on the go, a pinky one and a beigey one. This is my beigey one Estee Lauder Lover's Blush.

I need a subtle pinky one (no shimmer) that suits my skintone. The one I have at the moment is running out, and the name of it has rubbed out (though it is an Estee Lauder one too). I am useless with cream blushers as I cannot apply them properly and there is more room for error with a powder!

I've tried Benefit tints and I don't get on with them. Also tried Bourjois little round pot ones and find them too shimmery.

Thanks.

I second (or third?) the recommendation for Benefit's Dandelion. I'm very fair skinned and it gives me a natural looking healthy glow! Smells nice too.

Bourjois Rose Ambre - no shimmer at all. I've pale skin (when I don't wear fake tan!) dark hair, green eyes, and it's perfect if I'm pale or tanned. Plus I think I've had it for about 3 years and I'm not even halfway through it - cost per wear is probably about half a cent at this stage.

This thread is definitely making me want to buy another pot of Dandelion!

I have tried similar colours to Dandelion in cheaper brands. But when I'm feeling flush I always go and get it again. It works out better value probably because I use every last bit!

Benefit Dandelion oxidizes horribly on me.
