Sleek blushes are the best in the drugstore or pharmacy, you get plenty of product, easy and simple packaging and best of all a mirror. However the product itself is amazing value and I would out them on par with MAC blushes. They are heavily pigmented and in my opinion stay on a good 4 hours which is longer than any other blush I have ever tried. The colour I've swatched is called 'Flamingo' and boy does it look like a flamingo pink! It looks super scary in the packaging. However, when added to the apples of your cheek it acts as a glow and makes you look very fresh faced, due to the purple undertones. A great dupe for Dior Glow Blush. and even better when you can get your hands on it for only £4.49 at Superdrug.
Going from cheap to ridiculously expensive. However, Chanel blushes are beautiful, and this is what keeps me going back to the classic brand. The cream blushes have always been a staple in my make-up collection, ever since they brought them out last year. The consistency is perfect for a cream blush. More on the powdery side however they leave a sheen without being sticky, unlike those dreaded Bobbi Brown Rouge Pots for Lips and Cheeks which feels like you have glue on your face. The glossy compacts looks beautiful displayed on your vanity and the colour is perfect for a natural beach look. The colour Revelation reveals peach undertones making your complexion look healthy, like you've just been sun kissed. Retailing at £28 from Selfridges I think they are worth it if you're looking to treat yourself.
Bobbi Brown blushes are not my favourite, I'm not going to lie. I find them a bit too powdery. But oh my god how this colour is just beautiful. Desert pink is the perfect dusky pink and out of all blusher shades dusky pinks are my favourite. They are suit my any skin tone and look so natural. When wearing a bold lip people tend to avoid a blusher but this shade can concur that problem, and is a great transitional shade from winter to spring. A reasonable price from House of Fraser at £19.
NARS. oh NARS. The best blusher award goes to NARS. Everything from the rude shade names to the beautiful sleek rubber packaging, makes me want to spend the £23 to buy one. Especially when it means I can take a trip into Space NK. Deep Throat is a peach under toned baby pink, with beautiful gold flexes of shimmer running through it to give a glow to your face. The pigmentation is amazing and they do last a good 3-4 hours without having to be topped up. I always think that lighter shades look more appealing with a tan therefore its perfect for the later months of spring going into summer.
Lastly but no means least is the benefit 'Cha Cha Tint' A cream blush which is not powdery however not sticky either, a sheen to the cheeks it is not the most pigmented from the collection however if you are scared of venturing into blushes and you don't want to be seen like a clown the tints are perfect. They add the slightest bit of colour and tint your cheeks therefore only come off when you wash your face at night. When swatched, the tint looks rather orangey which would scare anyone but when blended into the skin (which you have to be quick about) it looks a beautiful coral shade. I really think these are great value at £24.50 from Boots as you can use it on your lips and it you get plenty of product.
What shade will you be wearing?
