There are a lot of blushes pictured here. These are not necessarily the only colors I've bought of these blushes. I have hearts next to the ones that I would buy again, if I needed to.These are also not the only brands of blushes that You Tube "made me buy". I am working on using up the items I have that are not cruelty free. And I have not included them here for that reason. See below the picture for the list of items and also my favorite blush brush.
1. Physician's Formula Nude Wear™ Glowing Nude Blush -- I actually got this in a 2014 Holiday palette which also came with the Glowing Nude Powder and the Glowing Nude Bronzer. I found the whole palette okay. I used most of the Powder and Bronzer. I hardly used the blush. There wasn't a lot of pigment to the blush and it was a basic blush color. Would not purchase again.
2. Physician's Formula Happy Booster™Glow & Mood Boosting Blush -- Heard about this from emilynoel83. This blush actually has decent pigmentation. Plus it smells really good and looks darling. Of the three blushes by Physician's Formula I have on this page, this is the only one, I feel, is decently pigmented and performs well.
3. Hard Candy Blush Crush -- I love these! I've come to really appreciate a blush with some shimmer to it. I have Living Doll (pictured -- Heard about this from emilynoel83.) and Bombshell. I love the healthy glow it gives to the skin (as I am one who likes to use face powder). Would repurchase again.
4. Nyx HIGH DEFINITION BLUSH in Intuition-- I have this in Intuition (Heard about this from emilynoel83.) This particular color has some gold shimmer in it. Very pretty!
5. Physician's Formula Sexy Booster™ Sexy Glow Blush -- This looks so pretty in the container & the packaging adorable; but, for me it lacks pigmentation. Will not purchase again.
6. Milani ROSE POWDER BLUSH -- I have this in Tea Rose. This is a good blush. I have so many blushes that for me, this is a novelty item. But, if I didn't have a slew of blushes, I would definitely repurchase. (Heard about this from emilynoel83.)
7. Milani BAKED BLUSH -- This blush has been talked about all over You Tube. I have Dolce Pink. Like the Hard Candy blushes, most of the baked blushes have some shimmer to them and impart a lovely glow to the skin. (Could use less packaging with these, though.) Would definitely repurchase!
8. Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush -- These blushes were talked about all over You Tube, as well. I think I had Heather Silk or Pearlescent Pink. It was a long time ago. They are really decently pigmented blushes. They've been repackaged, recently to have slightly less packaging. I wish they'd do away with the useless applicators altogether, though.
9. Nyx ROUGE CREAM BLUSH -- I have mine in Orange. I heard these were good, on You Tube, and I was looking for an orange cream blush. I've been discovering, however that cream blush is not very practical for a makeup addict like me. While I really like this blush I will not be purchasing any more cream blushes for a long time.
10. Sleek Makeup Blush -- I heard about, not only, this brand of blush; but, Flamingo from emilynoel83. Her sister gave this to her as a birthday/Christmas gift. Beautiful color and nicely pigmented. Sleek only puts packaging around the blusher itself. No extraneous packaging or useless applicators.
11. Colour Pop Blush -- These are great blushes with nice pigmentation. This is a sort of cream/powder formula. I love these; but, again, for someone who loves trying new makeup all the time. I'm finding that cream formula's are not that practical and carry with it a certain pressure and guilt. LOL
12. NARS Blush -- NARS has a reputation for great blushes and they do not disappoint in this area. Pictured is Angelika. I've also had the famed Orgasm; and, I also have Exhibit A - a very pigmented red. I believe Goss Makeup Artist is responsible for my purchases of Angelika and Exhibit A.
13. Coastal Scents Forever Blush -- Another emilynoel83 recommendation. These are VERY pigmented. So you may have your compact of blush, literally, FOREVER. Could do without the sliver of a mirror in the compact (Why? It's useless!) . But otherwise, great blush!
14. Sleek Makeup Blush by 3 -- Yes, emilynoel83!!! I got mine in Pink Lemonade, which is the shade she had. It has a cream blush in the middle. Very beautiful palette. But, again, there's the cream blush dilemma.
15. e.l.f. Studio Powder Blush Palette -- This was actually very nicely pigmented. Which is odd because as you'll see, I find the single blushes to be very hit and miss.
16. e.l.f. Studio Pressed Mineral Blush -- The texture on these is nice but the pigmentation is very sheer, I find. Not something I want to repurchase.
17. e.l.f. Studio Blush -- These were abuzz on You Tube. I have found these to be hit and miss. Some are decently pigmented, some are chalky, some have practically no color. I pretty much give up with getting any more of these.
18. Makeup Geek Blush Pan -- When these came out, You Tubers were going gaga over these. After getting a set of them a few months ago, I see why. They are talc free and have a very natural but nicely pigmented look to them.
19. Laura Geller Baked Color & Contour -- This is a cool palette. It's about the size of the It Cosmetics Vitality palette. The Baked Vanilla highlighter has just a touch of shimmer so can ever be used under the eyes. The bronzer is not very dark and is a good color for me to add some color to my hairline and under my cheek contour. The Cherry Cobbler blush is a beautiful shimmery pink shade with a hint of warmth.
20. Morphe Brushes 9B Palette -- Young Wild And Polished turned me on to this palette. It is a gorgeous palette of both brighter and muted blushes. Very nicely pigmented! Great for travel!
My Favorite Blush Brush
The e.l.f Small Stipple Brush
I found out about this brush from -- you guessed it, from the number of times I've mentioned her channel above, emilynoel83. Ever since I got one for myself, I've been hooked. I not only use it for cream blush, as she prefers; but, I use it for powder blush as well. I find the size ensures that I don't get a big patch of blush on my face, and the stippled bristles prevent too heavy an application. I have many backups of this brush and have given this brush as a little "stocking stuffer" gift, many a time.
