My lovely MIL has offered to buy me some new makeup for my Christmas present this year and I need some suggestions please! I’m an extremely minimal makeup wearer but would like to branch out a bit from what I currently use!
I’m in my thirties with clear skin, I use a tinted moisturiser, eyebrow gel and fine line, powder bronzer and a bit of blush.
I’m really loving the minimalist makeup styles but would like recommendations please for a tinted skin blurring primer, a cream bronzer and cream blush and any other suggestions you might have please! I can at least present MIL with a list so she can pick something off it then!
thank you :)

Cream bronzer- Chanel Les beiges ( a little goes along way)

Cream blusher- Elf halo blushers

not a tinted moisturiser but very light and natural -Lisa Eldridge skin tint

Cream blusher - Glossier Cloud paint or Rare Beauty Soft Pinch

Thank you!
@TheOGCCL is there anything else you’d recommend from rare beauty? It came up in a few searches I did and rather shallowly the packaging appeals to me 😂

Primer- I love the clarins sos in radiance: https://www.clarins.co.uk/sos-primer/80095974.html

cream bronzer- agree with PP about Chanel. Though no7 have just released a new one that looks similar, obviously not as fancy as Chanel!

Cream blusher- I like Dior ever glow or Westman atelier sticks. Rare beauty is lovely but it’s so pigmented, you need the tiniest dot and I always manage to overdo it and make myself look like I’ve had a hot flush! All their stuff looks nice but their liquid blushers are probably their most popular item, as a pp mentioned, elf have duped them (they are also mega pigmented and I find them even harder to blend out!)

A beauty pie subscription? I think you can often get a free 3 month trial. Their cream blush is the best I've tried and if you like minimal/ natural makeup you will find a lot to love!

The Hourglass pallets are glorious and things of beauty. I'm not much of a makeup wearer but I've had an older version of this for some time.

@Blueballinthegarden Ha no I’m just blush obsessed! I’ve got the blush brush too which helps with the risk of being heavy handed as per pp.

Just wanted to do a little update, thank you for all of your recommendations! I tried a few recommendations over the weekend in Space NK and Boots and didn’t love the Chanel as much as I’d hoped in the end! I settled for a Laura Mercier tinted moisturiser, Ilia cream bronzer which is gorgeous and Iconic cream blush 😊
