And it made sense to start off with a budget cream blusher rather than just jump straight in the deep end and then find out I hate cream blushers. Justifying my splurges with logic and sense, as always.
I bought the Make Me Blush in the shade Rhubarb Crumble, which is a light pink. The cream blusher also comes in an orangey tone, Peach Melba, and a darker pink, Raspberry Charlotte.
Rhubarb Crumble is a really nice subtle colour when on the cheeks, and is perfect for everyday looks. I like that it's not shimmery or too shiny, but still gives you a nice glow.
You can apply the blusher straight onto the skin, or use a brush to transfer it. I tend to put the blusher straight onto my face, and then blend it in with my Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge, which seems to work well.
I'm definitely sold on the whole cream blusher front, so if anyone has recommendations from other brands, please let me know! I'm also tempted to go back and get the orange version of this one.
