Best brush for cream blush?

Can anyone recommend a good cream blush brush? I have some lovely cream blushes but I don’t think my brush is very good; using an all purpose one. Thanks.

I use the Real Techniques stippling brush. I’ve had it a while though so I don’t know what f it’s still available

Second a stippling brush: It's all I use with cream blushes, and it works so well I don't even think about other methods anymore.

I use a real techniques double ended one, can't remember what it was supposed to be for

I use my fingers, it never occurred to me to use a brush!

I like the real techniques 402 setting brush. It's slightly conical in shape, but firmish which I think is needed with a cream blush.
The tapered top makes it easier to shape to the cheekbone.
I definitely think cream blush needs a firmer bristle than a powder blush and this is my favourite, and very affordable.
The stippling brush is good, but I think this shape gives a better control of colour and finish

I use real techniques expert face brush. I use one for foundation and another for blush.

Ooh lots of real techniques! Thanks everyone! @SwordBilledHummingbird Same here but it keeps disappearing so wanted to try a brush.

I have numerous brushes from all sorts of manufacturers but the ones I love the most are the Real Techniques ones (my first set was given to me by Nic and Sam Chapman many years ago). They last extremely well and I particularly love the R200 expert face brush for cream bronzers and blushers.
