(Each swatch corresponds with the blush in the same place in the picture above)
First up is the famed peach melba by Natural Collection. This is a lovely peachy pink colour and adds warmth to the cheek without making them look too red which is a problem I suffer from. Staying power is good and the price is very reasonable - 4/5
Secondly is an MUA blush in shade 1 (I think). These are a pound so the price front scores well. I like the colour on my hand but with my facial redness this has the tendency to make me look a bit like a lobster. This is so pigmented so I cant complain in that area. This is a great blush but just on my skin and with a heavy hand it looks a bit too much - 3/5
Coming up third is an MUA Bronzer. Again this cost a pound, and you get so much more product in comparison to the blush. These last me ages so Ill be stuck with this for the rest of my life I think! Again, this has a great colour payoff but you need to use a lighthand unless you want to look like an ompa loompa. This isnt an orangey tone and i just a lovely matt true bronzey brown colour - 4/5
Finally is this unbranded blush that Ive had for about ten years. I got it in those sets that you used to be given at christmas as a little girl (know which ones i mean?!). This was my first blush and its up there with the Natural Collection one. I cant fault it on colour payoff but it is slightly less long lasting than the Natural Collection. This is a great plummy colour andI havent seen another like this in a long time. Thumbs up from me - 4/5
As you can tell, all of these ive marked at around the same mark and this is because I cannot really choose between them.
The one thing is that these are all powder blushes and so I think I need to invest in a cream one, any recommendations?
Topshop's cream blushers are lovely but may be a bit brighter than what you're after, given this post. Worth a look though :) xx
