Because of this reason, I'm a bit stricter with buying high end blushes and I tend to stick to more budget friendly options, in a cream or gel forumla.
L-R: Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush - Charmed; Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush - Soft Pink; Topshop Cream Blush - Afternoon Tea; No 7 Pop and Glow Blush Stick - Classic Rose; and Seventeen Cheek and Lip Stain - Perky Pink.
I'm not an overly huge fan of powder blushes, mainly because I haven't found one where I like the finish as much as gel, or cream ones can achieve. I also find these formulas much easier to blend out and give a more natural look, or build up for a more striking appearance.
The most expensive of the bunch (and my favourite, surprise surprise) is the No 7 Pop and Glow blush stick (£9.95) as it's well pigmented, super easy to use and blends in really well to give a natural, perky look.
The Topshop Cream Blush (£7.00) is also a very well pigmented and comes at a very reasonable price point. The colour stays for ages too and a little of the product goes a very long way.
The Max Factor Miracle Touch blush (£6.99) has such a beautiful dewy finish to it, it can really help to add a bit of a pick me up to tired, dry skin. The colour pay off if very natural but can be built up, and the pot is so small that it's easy to squeeze in a make up bag.
Revlon really do no wrong when it comes to face products, and their PhotoReady Cream Blush (£7.99) is a great example. The texture and finish is slightly dryer than the average cream blush, but it looks beautiful when applied and blended into the skin.
For a more budget friendly blush, the Seventeen Cheek and Lip Stain (£4.99) is worth a try if you're new to wet formal blushes. Not technically a cream I know but it still gives a really nice tinted sheen to the cheeks (and lips!).
