Max Factor miracle touch creamy blush. I love the Glossier cloud paints and the Perricone M.D. no blush blush

I have been using the Benefit liquid blushers for over 10 years. They are called 'cheek stains' I think, in a pink, coral and a more reddy shade.

Come in what looks like a nail varnish bottle with a little brush. You paint on a little blob and then pat around. Very sheer and buildable. Bottles last foreeeeever as you don't need a lot for a natural look. Can also use as lip tint which is nice if you just plan on wearing a lip balm or nothing else.

Boots No.7 cream blush stick. www.boots.com/no7-pop-and-glow-cream-blush-stick-10169575

Used it for yonks, love it.

Rumblemumble · 13/01/2018 19:53

the Bobbi Brown one is fantastic

Another vote for Bobbi Brown. I like to apply it using an ever so slightly damp beauty blender. Kind of dabbed on and blended out.

I hate the Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge. I've tried it twice. There isn't a colour which really suits me anyway- they are either too pink or too bright/ orange. But it's the texture. I tried using it again today - pot lurking in my make up drawer- and it is so greasy it makes my skin look wet! I don't have shiny or oily skin- am in my early 60s- but it's horrible and doesn't last either.

Daniel Sandler Watercolour - it's a liquid, not a cream, but it's the only blusher I've ever tried which actually looked like skin and not product on top of skin.

MissisBoote · 13/01/2018 21:28

Becca do a really good cream blush - less waxy than the bobbi brown ones.

They also do the beach tint which is a liquid blush and lip stain.

boshette · 13/01/2018 21:36

I've used the Becca blusher before and loved it, but I can't find it anymore. Where did you find it?

QVC for Becca Smile

MissisBoote · 13/01/2018 22:11

Perhaps they've discontinued it. I hope not :(

boshette · 13/01/2018 22:25

Thanks Marcia, I'll look for it on QVC and post if I find it!

Glossier cloud paint. You need a tiny amount, and it is pretty much foolproof!

LadyLapsang · 14/01/2018 09:12

Another vote for Bobbi Brown - just a matter of finding the right shade and blending.

Roussette · 14/01/2018 09:14

I use this
Liz Earle cream blush in Nectar. It looks very dark but isn't. Not cheap but really good.

For a cheaper alternative this is a cheap alternative and similar colour is soft pink. It's less than a third the price.

Both last ages

Mendeleyev · 14/01/2018 09:18

Clinique chubby stick. Just draw a fat stripe on each cheek and then blend with a brush. Easy.

Bluesheep8 · 14/01/2018 09:20

Stila cream blush is fab, great shades and lasts for ages. Top shop too, the one with the polka dot lid is also good and much more matte

Squ1ggle · 14/01/2018 09:38

Another vote for Clinique chubby stick. The best colour that I've found for me anywhere. I just draw a stripe as per pp above but just blend with my fingers. Lovely and quick and a natural look

stoplickingthetelly · 14/01/2018 11:41

I've got a stila one which I quite like. Can also use on lips too.

vaz119 · 14/01/2018 12:47

I love YSL baby doll kiss and blush. It's a cream consistency that can be used on lips or cheeks. (I've never used it on my lips)

A tiny dot on each cheek and blend with a brush. Lasts all day and the bottle lasts forever. Love it

Another vote for Glossier cloud paint. I think a lot of their other products are a bit overhyped but the cloud paint is great, especially if you like a more natural look (although it is highly pigmented so you could build it into a more dressy look, too).

I currently use "dusk" (a soft brown) and "beam" (a lovely peachy-coral shade) together, using a very small amount dusk as a very subtle contour beneath the cheek bone, and and a dab of beam on the apples of my cheeks. Really easy and looks fab!

boshette · 14/01/2018 17:27

Thanks everyone!! I've never posted a question before, thanks for all your very helpful replies!! Smile

Another vote for Liz Earle cream blush - I love the Rose, very pretty and natural flush. I think it’s being discontinued as it’s currently 40% off at John Lewis.

HannaSolo · 14/01/2018 17:41

I love the Stilla ones (you can buy them in M&S) - called convertible colour.

They also have a watercolour blush (apply just like a cream) which is fantastic (I have the colour rosewater). It's really easy to use, very flattering and wears really well - I'd highly recommend it.

I loved their cream blush I mentioned but I actually think the watercolour one is better.

Good cream blusher?
