Ask Belle: Getting Flushed

Nov 13, 2014

Hi Belle,

I know you like Bobbi Brown blushes, but is that all you use?  I need something under-$10, and I’m hoping you have a drugstore bargain in your makeup bag. (oh, please, oh, please…)

Tis true, I do love a Bobbi Brown blush (and her blush brush).  But if you need something less expensive, I have several drugstore blushes that I’ve tried and can recommend.  Because while my every day colors come from Bobbi, sometimes a girl needs to change it up.

e.l.f. Pink Passion Blush ($3)

This is my gym-bag blush.  It’s sheer enough to add a little color or a lot depending on what I want.  I add just a bit to the apples of my cheeks for a pop of color.

I own this Maybelline Fit Me! blush in light mauve.  It has an ethereal glow to it that also makes it a good cheekbone highlighter.  This Maybelline Dream Bouncy cream blush is a great summertime blush.  (Need a cream blush tutorial?  Try this one.)  And if you’re looking for a blush that you can’t screw up, try this Magic Mosaic blush from Physician’s Formula.  It makes blush application and color selection foolproof.
