so i havent worn a blusher for years, and dont feel like wearing it anymore.
i tried a few and on my skin they seem REALLY, really obvious and its not a look that suits [me].

a nice skin highlighter seems a much better idea

please post your recommendations

xx

I reccomend



It's very sheer but shimmery

that blusher through isnt it? mmm. and SOO bright. Ja. i mostly look like a clown, i still have a lancome one. "it looks stuble [?] on you, sooo stuble.." the lady had said. i'd post a pic to illustrate my point...but i lost hte connecting wire, you know

okok thank you

It's a mix between a blusher and a highlighter, but more like one of those glittery powders that you can apply on your cleavage/face/eyelids etc etc Also you can choose the shade.
I also use Pout shimmer dust daily



The colour is given by the glitter, not by the powder itself, so it's incredibly sheer. I use it in champagne but they have a really lovely pale pink one that you could maybe try.

Boots 17 brand do a lovely one, it lloks similar tot he lacome one, but will only cost about £5

It depends on your skin tone; but I'm quite dark and instead of blusher for a while I used an almay bronzer, because it didn't have a bronzing effect on me, it sort of glowed goldy-pink. I guess if you're light-skinned a pinky-white might be quite good as a highlighter? Something like Benefit high-beam, but I've found the right shades of shimmery eyeshadow can work for highlighting too; and powder shadow is cheaper and less messy to apply.

What kind of blusher do you normally use? A stain gives a more natural look (if you blend it :P), lots of brands do them at the moment. I like the Jelly Pong Pong jelly stick, I dont even have to blend it if I'm in a rush: http://www.jellypongpong.com/nav_col...CategoryId=231 .

Benefit High Beam is awsome.

I was going to reccommend this one! its fab.

benefit highbeam is alright, but DO NOT wear it if you might be photographed. the flash makes you look absolutely bloody hideous. i've got both highbeam and a nice marks and spencer's version thats just as good but half the price. i don't know whether they still sell it though, i got it a couple of christmas's ago.
