Please help me choose a blusher palette

My DS' DGF, via my DS, has asked for the attached blusher palette for Christmas, however I would much rather get something similar, but better quality, and I definitely don't want to buy from Aliexpress.

Budget around £30 to £50 (but no more than that). I think she has chosen it as she is too shy to ask for something more expensive.

This is as much info as I could get from DS. He's working away and doesn't know which brands she usually uses. I'm presuming she would prefer cream blusher/highlighter etc if this is what she has asked for with the cheapy set, and also a set with multiple blocks?

She has a dark complexion, early twenties and uses make up with quite heavy coverage.

Please can anyone suggest a better quality alternative? Possibly a gift set?

Thank you in advance.

Those look to be knock offs of this Makeup forever palette. Quite a price difference though even in the sale it's slightly over budget.

I found this on Look Fantastic. Do you know if they are a good quality? I would possibly wriggle around the budget for the right product.

I think this colour way would really suit her.

I literally wear the same make up I wore at 16, I am so clueless.

According to the makeup forever site the colourway I linked is the only one suitable for deep skin tones. I haven't used that product myself but makeup forever is a really good professional makeup brand.

This curve case might be an alternative within budget and the colours would be great for deeper skin tones. They also do a cheaper smaller version but the one for deep skin tones doesn't looks as enticing to my eyes.

That looks really good, thank you for linking it. Perfect price point too.

Try Charlotte tilbury.

The quality is amazing and you can tell it's high end quality

It was one of the first places I looked but I couldn't find a multi block cream blusher palette on there, although the packaging looks luxurious.

I would be concerned buying make up from AliExpress china has different standards of what's allowed in the ingredients
Just reread your not buying from AliExpress

Or rare beauty . But I'm not sure if they have the block.

The better quality ones dont come as blocks.

Dark complex is pretty vague, skin tones are a minefield even choosing make up for yourself, I would have to be 100% sure I knew what she wears and wants I wouldn't guess .
