Top 5 Blushes

It seems I have acquired quite a lot of new blushes lately, so I thought I would compile my top 5. I’m not talking colours here, I’m judging them on their overall performance. I think Blush is one of those great products that can really waken up your complexion, and I think it’s really important to find the right balance between something that gives you a glow and a not ending up with disco ball glitter all over your face. Cause let’s face it that’s not so attractive.
Vivo Baked Blush (£4.00) : I have two of these lovely baked Blushes in Red Shimmer* and Peaches and Cream, both are smooth, pigmented and really easy to blend. They don’t contain but give cheeks a gorgeous sheen, which means I can skip using a highlighter. Perfect for those early mornings.
Dainty Doll Blusher (£12.50) : I have this in 002, a lovely pale pink shade which is fairly shimmery. This is a great Blush/Highlight for nights out. I find it a little to shimmery for daytime, but for a night out it is perfect swept across the top of the cheekbones. As it doesn’t impart much colour it works brilliantly with dramatic eyes
Benefit Boxed Blushes (£23.50) : The most expensive blush in my Top 5 but worth every penny. There’s a small range of classic shades, with something to suit everyone. Dandelion was one of the first blushes I owned, and I still love it, the colour gives a perfect pop of pink. Coralista and Sugarbomb are also gorgeous wearable shades.
Illamasqua Cream Blush (£16.50) : I love that these cream blushes give a great dewy glow, that lasts all day on my oily skin. They’re a lovely consistency, and blend really well with just fingers. Despite Illamasqua’s reputation of being a brand for your alter ego, this line of cream blushes contains some brilliant staple shades for everyday.
Fashionista Blush* (£4.00) : Another great high-street blush, these come in a great range of shades, with matte and shimmer shades. These are really pigmented so you will only need a small amount. They also blend really well together to make a custom shade for your skin. Juicy Apricot and Butterscotch are must haves!
So there’s my favourite blushes, do you love blush as much as me? What are your favourite blushes?
