When it comes to choose the "perfect" blusher, I tend to go for something more on the coral, tanned/mauvey, and peachier side, as you can see here. Warm toned blushers just suit me more than some cool toned pinky shades. I am a NC 15-20 with slight yellow undertoned complexion in case you are wondering.
Let's get right into it shall we?! I know that alot of you beauty junkies out there like myself are into blushers. I just love to buy blushers even though I know I already have like 10 different corals in my collection. That's just what I do.
First up, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Mood Exposure. This is easily one of my favourite blushers if not THE favourite in my collection. This shade looks so flattering on me. It's a soft plum fused with Mood Light Ambient Lighting Powder to brighten the complexion. It is so pretty. I use this blusher almost everyday and I think that says alot cuz I do have loads blushers believe me. I use my Real Techniques Blush Brush to apply on my cheeks and be careful as this stuff is seriously pigmented in my opinion. I sometimes even use this as a "bronzer" because of the shade and it works pretty well. Love love love it!
Ok now I know what you all think. This is a bronzer. Aren't we talking about blushers?! Yes we are, but in my opinion this is the perfect blusher/bronzer/highlighter all in one. Seriously it is gorgeous, and easy, on those lazy days when you can't be bothered to put on bronzer then blusher then highlighter, just apply this and you are good to go! I have the shade in 04 Sun Blondes, oh and did I say this is from Guerlain? I think Guerlain does the best bronzers/blushers in my opinion, I also am dying to try the four seasons bronzer/blusher. I have to say that if you are not a fan of shimmers then this is not for you as it does contain shimmers, but I think look great on the cheeks you don't even need a highlighter. Can I just take a moment and say how gorgeous it smells!!! Ahh I need take another sniff.
I just have to mention Nars Blushers because they definitely know what they are doing when it comes to blushes. Nars do some of the best blushers, and this Orgasm is my favourite. This is a duo, it also comes with my fav bronzer which is Laguna, we'll get into bronzers some other time. I got it from sephora.com I won't ramble too much as we all know Orgasm is a peachy pink shade with some gold shimmers running through it. It's gorgeous.
If you haven't tried Laura Geller Blushers then you should definitely do so cuz they are just to die for. I have the shade in Mauve Mocha Latte and it is one of their baked impressions blushes. I got mine from qvc uk and it's actually part of a kit but I don't think qvc still has it. You can however go to Laura Geller website to purchase it separately. This is a baked blusher which handmade under terracotta pan and baked for 24 hours in Italy. The quality of this blusher is incredible. It's sheer but buildable. It is also paraben and mineral oil free so yeah! It's matte and sometimes I use it as a bronzer and it works pretty well as this shade is a warm terracotta mauve pink, but a little less pink I should say.
Lastly, Sugarbomb from Benefit Cosmetics.I got this like a year ago and look how much I still have it left. It never finishes. I love this one cuz it is so subtle on the cheeks and gives you a nice glow as well. It's got peachy, pinky, soft plum shades in there and all you have to do is swirln them together and apply. You can of course choose the shade you want and apply to your cheeks, and that's the beauty of this blusher. I sometimes even use it as eyeshadows why not?! Ohh and it smells so good.
Here are the swatches of all the blushers. I hope you like the post and find it somewhat helpful and interesting. Let me know what your favourite blushers are and don't forget to follw me on Twitter for daily updates.
Muahhh!
