I found a good one in Tesco(Collection 2000) a while ago only when i went to replace the one i was using they told me that it had been discontinued.Now i know it wasnt a fantastic make up brand but i swear it is lovely and i have nearly run out.
But that doesnt help you does it?

I have not tried these, but have looked and tried on back of hands!
Clinique new stick blusher, Estee LAuder stick gets good reviews, as does Laura Mercier.
Boots No 7 gets good reviews too.
some people swear by Origins pinch your cheeks- it's like a gel.

Bumping for you, as I would like to know this too!

Mmm I use benetint and posytiny by benefit. They are not creams, but do give a wonderfully natural healthy they effect (and because they are tints, they are kind of transparent and give a make-up-less result)

But, I have heard that MAC creme blushers are excellent, in particular a friend of mine uses (called sweet william or something!) and looks lovely on her (she has darker skin than me - I am very pale)

Benefit 'benetint'. It is great and is almost always in those 'top ten product' lists that fashion mags do

Isn't Benetint a bit messy and difficult to apply? I need something easy!

sazzer I do not find it messy at all - 3 stripes on apples on cheeks and blend! (for night out or extra glow, repeat!) and good as lip stain too.

OK, mine are both expensive options, but really worth it:

  1. Bobbi Brown does a cream stick blusher in a bright pink colour that looks a bit alarming until you blend it in, and then it is lovely - really pretty, youthful, great for pale skin.
  1. Terry by Terry does a fluid blush that is light, natural, gleamy and so pretty - in a bronzey colour and a pink. But it's about thirty quid, so one for the christmas list.
