Can anyone give me any recommendations for good blushers to try, I have tried HUDA, benefit & physicians formula so far but wasn’t overly impressed with HUDA or physicians formula, I do like benefit but fancy a change

I wear a nars one every day (deep throat, similar to orgasm but not as shimmery). I also have a nice cream blush from beauty pie that I really rate.

The best blusher I've ever used was a Lisa Eldridge cream blush, unfortunately they're completely sold out but should be getting restocked soon.
I got an Elf putty cream blush the other week and really like it.

Thewayshetalks · 12/06/2022 22:56

Thanks both, I’ll look at those

I have three that I like - I really need blush to stop my head looking like a potato so I’m never without one.

  • A Bobbi Brown cream blush in a fresh pink (think you can also use it for lips but the shade doesn’t work for me except on cheeks). It’s lovely and dewy.
  • Mac mineralise blush in a shade called Dainty that is my perfect coral. Instantly wakes my face up. I prefer it to Nars.
  • Glossier cloud paint (I have a couple of colours including one that I thought might be alarmingly red but looks lovely on.) They are a gel texture and highly pigmented - the packaging is irritating but the product is great.

Can’t stand the ones with all the “porny” names, apart from anything else they’re over-priced and extremely naff.

I'm happy with my Laura Mercier powder blush. It looks ridiculously bright in the pot but looks amazing once on.

My DM has always used a cream blush and has used Clinique for years

Rubyroseyposey · 13/06/2022 09:28

Benefit is my favourite. I like mac sheertone blushers too.

ArabeI · 13/06/2022 11:45

I use Nars Orgasm. I like this so much I have the stick (which can be used for lips or cheeks), the powder blusher and the lip balm. I keep meaning to try deep throat, too. Though I do dislike the names as a pp has mentioned!

I also use benefit dandelion for a subtle look or Galifornia on rare occasion as it's quite bright.

Thewayshetalks · 13/06/2022 13:23

Think I’ll go for the nars one

For powder blusher I love Nars Gaiety but I think it was limited edition as I struggle to get hold of it. It looks alarmingly bright pink in the pan but goes on very sheer.

For cream/gel blusher Glossier Cloud Paints are brilliant. I’ve got 2 which will probably last me until the end of time as you use such a tiny amount.

TattiePants · 13/06/2022 21:07

My absolute favourite is Chantecaille gel blusher in Lively. It’s pretty speedy but it lasts for years.

ScrambledSmegs · 13/06/2022 21:11

Glossier cloud paints - pretty much perfect really.

Rina66 · 14/06/2022 06:35

For powder blush I love the Clinique cheek pop, it comes in 4 great colours, I've got them all but use the peach and pink the most.

For cream blush I love Trinny London Lip 2 Cheek, great for no make up days.

BaaCake · 14/06/2022 08:52

Hourglass or Pat McGrath

The nars blush liquid form lasts ages I bought two during first lockdown just started using the second one I use it daily

Mac mineralise blush in a shade called Dainty that is my perfect coral. Instantly wakes my face up. I prefer it to Nars.

Ohhh thanks for this @tangelo, deep throat (blah name) has been sold out and I was wondering about MAC Dainty - you have sold it to me!

RicitosdeOro · 14/06/2022 12:14

Also Glossier cloud paints here. I love them.

however, the grass is always greener and I happened to spot a new cheek and lip product by Code Beauty on insta the other day. Has anyone tried this product?

Tangelo · 14/06/2022 13:42

@PurpleSneakers hope you love it as much as me! I must have been buying it for nearly 10 years!
