smiles have you ever tried Becca Cream Blushers? they are amazing.
hey Ginger i seriously don't think i have bought a blusher of any kind since the 90's as blusher kind of went out of fashion there (if that's the right choice of wording, ROFL) for sometime and i just never got back into wearing anything on my cheeks as i got older my cheeks have gotten rosy ... and foundation i have worn have never been heavy so therefore my natural cheek colour came through ... BUT now i'm getting older my face is losing alot of definition & sadly starting to sag under the jaw line which freaks me out but it's hereditary too as my Mum & older sis have it too ... so YEP now feel is the time the old cheeks are in need of a re-vamp, LOL ... Anyway, in the meantime for the past few years i have only user a bronzer as a blusher (not an actual proper blusher product, IYKWIM).

Tan ... i had a bad experience last year i bought what i call an expensive foundation ($68 from Clinique in Melb), was given wrong colour and ended up going to another Clinique counter in Ballarat telling the salelady the colour wasn't the same as what was put on me in Melb ... she then worked it out i was given the wrong one ... also i was recommended not to get a foundation for aged skin and the one i was recommended ended up being way to heavy ... i find usual mistake is that heavy foundations look shocking on woman older than 40 as they seep into wrinkles and the thickness doesn't seem to hide the average size cheek pores but emphasizes them, ans also the itty bitty facial hairs that once weren't noticed are now at this age with thicker foundations (OMG being in my 40's sux just don't feel the same about my looks like i use to, it's like a battle against looking old now, and not so much about looking lovely. Yeh, Tan i've been too scared so i stick with my cheap Rimmel (it gives me a more natural dewy look which can be hard to pull off for my age) BUT thanks Tan for the suggestion i hope to pluck the courage up one day to go buy again a better quality foundation
