Shimmery Blusher which do you recommend ???

[smiles4u]

Hi all,

If i use blusher it's usually just my bronzer i use on cheekbones but i'm bored with it and it's more a daytime look ... so i'm after a more dramatic look for evening wear that packs some punch that is noticeably creamy shimmery but not sparkling ... that has a glow look about it and it needs to be able to go over my foundation without wiping that off IYKWIM

I think i'm after something peachy or maybe pink (with a gold tinge to it ??) !!

Can anyone suggest what to try ?

TIA

I use lipgloss A makeup artist friend of mine suggested it. I find it gives a nice dewy sheen with a hint of shimmer...during the day I just use a bronzer stick. I have fairly dark skin and use a nice deep red coloured Lancome juicy tube, just 2 tiny dabs then rub upwards towards the ears, works a treat.

Smiles,
I use and love Napoleon mosaic powder and puff. I purchased it about 18months ago and does what you want to achieve. I put my blush on and highlight with the Napoleon powder on the higher cheek bone.

Napolean have mosaic compacts, i think there's 3 "themes", the one i'm thinking is pinky/goldy/shimmery is called "Gleamer", so its a mosaic of the different colours which will mix as you apply it.

But personally i'm a huge fan of cream blush. The best one i've found is by Bloom, the shades suit my skin tone and just give a natural blushing effect. I use a foundation blush and gently pat it only on the apples of my cheeks. Some other brands do cream blushes with a shimmer as well.

OMG Tan that sounds like what i want (only thing about the cream blusher i'm worried won't glide on well on top of foundation or wear as well as a powder blusher.

CBG (that's for that) ... would you believe i was watching a video tutorial last night & what you suggested is what she said to do was place the blusher or bronzer than place the shimmery one on the highest part of the cheekbone

I tried a Loreal eyeshadow colour - Metallic Beige today as a shimmery pinkish blusher looked really good but not dramatic enough (be perfect for day wear).

Asked the cosmetic salesgirl in Priceline today she suggested best to get a Mineral blusher to get the shimmery/glow effect.

Smiles i pm'd you again

I've found the Bloom cream blush lasts just as long as my foundation. But i use a really good quality foundation (Laura Mercier liquid) its about $90 but it's so concentrated you hardly need any, a bottle lasts me ages. I apply the cream blush after the foundation, looks silly but do a huge smile and apply to the applies of your cheeks - they'll stick out when you smile Don't brush upwards like was the trend in the 80s I use Laura Mercier translucent powder over the top, just a light dusting, and yeah it will last me 12+ hours. Probably longer but i never sleep with make up on. Unless you sweat a lot your make up really shouldn't wear off any sooner than that...
