What is your favourite brand of blusher?

[reallemonade]

I'm looking for one that lasts all day ideally! I tried an Estee Lauder one recently that I liked, though I've tried lots of brands over the years...

I tend to use some highlighter as well as blusher.

Sleek Rose Gold is even better than Nars Orgasm which has always been my favourite and is a quarter of the price (I have both)

I like the Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes but sleek are a great cheaper option.

I came on to say Estée Lauder. I have Lovers Blush and it's the best one I've ever tried.

Benetint. Makes me look less as if I have been exhumed.
Nothing else. I dislike powders and cremes. I still mourn the discontinuation of a lovely product by Helena Rubinstein, which was like Benetint in a stick. Cant remember the name of it, as it was so long ago.

Hourglass

Also benetint

Clinique

For powder, Nars or Hourglass. Cream, MAC or Bobbi Brown.

Benetint

Daniel sandler watercolour blush

MAC desert rose

Clinique peach pop as well.

Re your Helena Rubinstein stick... Is it discontinued or is it just that you cannot find HR in the UK?
HR is still sold in some european countries, best prices in Italy and Greece. I always stockpile when in Rome. PM if you ever go to Rome and I'll give you the name of the cheapest place in Rome for HR.

Orgasm by Nars for me, although Dandelion is also very good. However Dandelion works more expensive for me as, considering size and price, Orgasm lasts longer.

Btw, for Orgasm by Nars lovers, Space NK sells every now and then (I have bought it in two occasions) a limited edition XL size (8 gr) for the same price of the normal one (4.8 gr). Lasts forever, maybe that's the reason it works 'cheap' for me...

Nars - The Multiple in Portofino

I think it depends on your skin tone. Nars orgasm looks odd on me because it's so peachy and I'm quite cool toned. Deep throat looks much better because it's much cooler and more mauve.

Just mentioning it because I think Orgasm gets mentioned so much as being universally flattering.

After years of spending too much on makeup, I've ditched Nars & Benefit & now use Soap & Glory blusher. It's very good. Benefit really doesn't last long for the price.

Benefit minis are 3 for £27 in Boots. I have some blushes (including Dandelion) and they're a decent size.

I also love Dandelion Twinkle which is the highlight version

I like the rose benetint on cheeks and lips. I'm very lazy.

How do people apply benetint? I dab on my cheeks and try to quickly blend with a blusher brush but I just end up with big red patches that just won't blend in

Nars Orgasm for me with Benefit Dallas too - I do use a bit of Bobbi Brown shimmer brick in the pinky colourway and this is lovely too

Rub benetint in straight away with my fingers. Got to be quick!

LaBruja the Helena Rubinstein blusher stick was actually discontinued long ago but thanks for the information. I haven’t looked for HR for ages, but will be sure to check next time I go to Italy or Greece. Just in case!
And yes, Benetint has to be blended quickly with the fingers. A dot on the cheeks and chin, quick blend and done.

Hourglass ambient lighting blush, I’ve got a few colours.

Nars Bumpy Ride, it's perfect pink.
