A Blush For Every Occasion


So when it comes to blush I am slightly obsessed. I have all sorts of different shades, formulas, finishes etc and majority of the time I can be found with quite a natural blush so today I wanted to bring you my favourites that I believe can be worn for any occasion with any makeup look.

First is the Burberry Light Glow Natural Blush in shade Earthy Blush. I was first introduced to this blush when Lily Pebbles included it in one of her videos on Youtube about the Burberry catwalk makeup look and I instantly fell in love. This blush is super finely milled so glides beautifully onto the skin and leaves a really subtle hint of colour that doesn't sit on top of the skin. This shade really doesn't look all that appealing in the pan but trust me once it's on your skin it just gives a really subtle natural glow to the cheeks. It's hard to describe really, it's like when you're wearing a bold lip and black flicked liner and just want a hint of colour on the cheeks but you don't want a whole block colour this is the perfect alternative. It goes with any makeup look and also looks great just in the crease of the eye for a little definition.

Next is MAC Frost Powder Blush in shade Margin. This is a peachy pink shimmery blush and is just super pretty. Again this blush just goes with any makeup look whatsoever and just works to enhance your face. It gives just a subtle hit of colour but also highlights because of the shimmer it contains and when I say shimmer this is in no way glittery, the light just bounces off this blush in a way that makes it look so pretty. I tend to wear this blush with a nude lip and deep smokey eyes, when I need something to brighten my face up and balance the rest of my makeup.

Lastly is this Bourjois Aqua Blush in shade Inge-Nude. This is a relatively new release from Bourjois and I absolutely love it. It's a gel fluid that has a refreshing effect on the skin and gives a natural radiance and light finish to the skin. This shade in particular has got me hooked and I think I may well pick up every other shade in the collection. This particular shade I have found is perfect for this time of year to help to give a dewy finish. I have been wearing it with a minimal base, bright pink or coral lips and just simple eyes with a swish of mascara and I love it.

So they're my three favourite blushes for all occasions and makeup looks. Have you tried any of these blushers? What do you think of them?
