My Top 3 Blushers

I love blusher.  I love wearing it on its own and with my trusty bronzer.  Pictured above are three of my favourites.  As you can see they vary from brand to brand and differ in price.

Mac Powder Blush in Prism

This was one of my first Mac products.  Prism is light brown with a touch of pink.  It goes on to the skin really well and is easy to build.  I've even used it as a super light bronzer because I'm so pale.  The texture is so soft in comparison to the other blushers on this list, really I can't explain how soft it feels.

Topshop Blush in Flush

This is the only cream blush of the group.  The consistency is great.  I just dot it on the apples of my cheeks and blend it in with my Real Techniques Stippling Brush.  It is a beautiful medium pink that is easy to build and does exactly what it says on the tin; gives you that flushed cheek look that makes you look like you've just stepped in from a windy day.

MUA Blusher in Shade 1

This is the cheapest of the bunch at just £1 and the one that I pick up daily for work.  This MUA blush is a light pink with a subtle gold shimmer (and when I say subtle I mean subtle).  Out of all the blushes featured this one has the least staying power but still lasts a long time (about 5 hours without touch ups).  You can't really sniff at it considering the price.  It sits nicely on top of bronzer and blends well with powder if I overdo it! 

What are your go-to blushes?  Do you prefect powder or cream?
