If you’d have asked me this time last year what my desert island makeup product would be, blusher wouldn’t have even made the top ten. In fact, I think I probably only had one blusher in my otherwise excessive makeup stash. You see, I have always championed a stream-lined, simple routine. As far as I was concerned, all I needed for my daily routine was a hefty layer of concealer, some bronzer and maybe a quick coat of mascara on my lashes. Anything else was just added faff that I couldn’t be bothered with.
But then, a cream blusher came my way and everything changed. I realised that the thing that stressed me about out blusher the most was the application process. From applying too much to getting it in the wrong place, with powder formulas, it’s all too easy to make mistakes. However, cream blushers are basically fool-proof. Not only can they be patted into the skin with fingers really quickly, they can also be blended out super-easily.
