Am I alone in using lipstick for blusher?

I've always done this, as I tend to wear dark pink/browny shades of lipstick, so putting it on my cheeks ensures a good match. It hadn't occurred to me that I might be alone in this, until a friend laughed at me (thinking I was using the wrong thing). When I explained she said she'd never heard of it before! Is it just me or do a lot of you do this too?

I did it a couple of times when I was younger but wouldn't do it now.

My Mum did that, but i don't.

You're right though - the creme blushers that come in a tube have the consistency of lipstick.

Did when I was younger but not now. Invest in a cream blusher - will be a better texture and blend better.
