Well thank you Superdrug for discontinuing this and not bothering to let anyone know!
I can't get on with powder blusher at all. I look like Aunt Sally on a particularly bad day. For years I used a No 7 cream blusher which Boots decided to discontinue. My friends is a Boots manager and managed to get me the last 4 in the country. That was a couple of years ago and when the last one ran out last year I had to go on the search again, so found this on by MUA (escapade is my shade not cavort) which was brilliant and so cheap, and now Superdrug have only bloody gone and discontinued it Angry

So, I'm back on the hunt again and it seems cream blusher is next to impossible to get. Am willing to go up to about £20 if anyone has any recommendations?

I just use a nice lipstick, well blended in!

Max factor Miracle touch cream blush. So lovely.

jjemimapuddleduck · 02/12/2018 12:02

I use Maybelline. A few nice shades -I like a pinky blush (not coral). Or what about Benetint, blended in?

Meandyouandyouandme · 02/12/2018 12:02

Sorry, I have no suggestions but this is me as well, I used No7 blossom for years, not found anything since that was discontinued. Currently using a lipstick that I didn’t like on my lips, on my cheeks instead Confused
Hopefully someone can suggest something!

I like Mac Cream Colour Base in Shell

I second the Max Factor creme blush.
Lots on Boots... not so many in shops!

DeRigueurMortis · 02/12/2018 13:22

Stila convertible colour is great.

I'd also recommend their watercolour blush - it blends beautifully.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 02/12/2018 13:27

Mac creme colour base. I’m still foaming they they discontinued creme blend blush .

SantaBabycharly · 02/12/2018 13:32

There is another cream blusher in Superdrug .
It costs about £8.
I looked at it just last week. Like cream blush too.
Mua, for holidays, and had Stila cheek and lip colour from Boots ( £16 when I bought it last )
Boots did not have Stila either when I was in .
Cannot remember brand in SD but it was about 2x size of Mua.

Bums..... I've used this blusher for the last couple of years in Escapade shade. Was fabulous . I don't like the consistency of the Max Factor one.... it's like germaline used to be.

MoggEatMoggWorld · 02/12/2018 14:07

Ken Me too Angry It was beautiful.

Roobub · 02/12/2018 14:27

Another vote for Stila convertible colour, they're excellent.

JennyHolzersGhost · 02/12/2018 14:29

Max Factor miracle touch creams blush is good, the only drawback is a v limited range of colours.

I like NARS The Multiple matte, doesn’t work for lips but a good blush stick.

TeddyIsaHe · 02/12/2018 14:30

I use Cloud Paint from Glossier. It’s absolutrly lovely to blend and easily built up.

GlasgowWorrier · 02/12/2018 17:54

Liz Earle cream blushes are lovely - Rose is a very natural glow.

TroyKing · 02/12/2018 18:27

I like Laura Mercier

Only problem with cloud paint is that it's water based and I found won't go over my base easily.

NeurotrashWarrior · 02/12/2018 19:34

I have the remnants of a no 7 one. Before that a borgoise one. So cross both discontinue!

joangray38 · 03/12/2018 05:21

Pixi and nudestick do multi use cream sticks for lip and cheek. AST ages as you get a lot of product and they are blendable - especially the nudestix ones asvtgey can be used for eyeshadow as well

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 03/12/2018 07:57

Maybeline cream blush blends beautifully.

Still a convertible can be a hassle to blend nicely. They do have lots of colours though.

SantaBabycharly · 03/12/2018 08:05

Boots.com do Stila but the colours are difficult to tell on the Internet. £18

BusterGonad · 03/12/2018 08:08

Smash Box LA Lights lip and cheek colour is good. It's a stick form. I've no idea of the colour you like but I've got 2, one posey pink shade and one nude/peach/creamy shade. I obviously use the pinky one with pink lips and the peach one with a natural lip colour or a coral lip colour.

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 03/12/2018 08:22

Marks have tons of Stilla.

fishonabicycle · 03/12/2018 11:30

I just got a chunky blusher stick, Collection. It's great and only a couple of quid.
