Burberry, absolutely
I love them, and Peony is my every-day favorite.
Probably Illamasqua. I can’t think of anything softer off the top of my head.
LORAC; admittedly, I don’t wear a lot of blush, and when it comes to texture, I really don’t care, as color & pigmentation are the most important factors for me. I just happen to find that LORAC powder products tend to be extremely soft, and I don’t happen to find that to be a good thing.
sleek cosmetics blush by 3 palettes are so silky and not powdery at all! i really like their formula and i love it because it’s 3 blushes 20 grams of product for 12 dollars
La Femme blush on Rouge.
Illamasqua! Their blushes are so soft and finely milled. My favorite shade is Hussy which looks nice applied lightly on my NC30 skin.
Tom Ford = incredible
Either Bare Mineral Escentuals Ready blush or M.A.C Pro longwear blushes.
Illamasqua for sure!
Probably Tom Ford
I like the Chanel blushes very much, they feel great on the skin, smell lovely and have a great natural and sophisticated look. I love them
.
Chanel!
Softest I’ve tried is Burberry!
Yes, when I saw the title of this post, Burberry was also the first brand that came to mind.
Same here! I own a couple and they are so easy to blend. I’ve tried MAC, Nars, shu uemura, Estee Lauder, smashbox, Shiseido, Bobbi Brown, but this one is the softest.
Tom ford or Rock n Republic
I have to give props to Guerlain. I love buildable factor. You can never add too much, it just looks more flush rather than a clown-college graduate…
PS: Christine, have you received a sample/purchase of the new Giorgio Armani foundation? I tried a sample and was very disappointed but I’m so curious to read your review.
No, sorry, I have not!
soft, meaning texture? Lorac also, it was a really soft domed blush. I didnt use it often but if I remember correctly it was called Flaunt. it was more shimmery than pigmented though
First brand that came to my mind was Illamasqua!
Illamasqua. I’m always impressed with their blush, both softness and pigmentation. It’s soft on the skin, and delicately soft in the pan.
Some Benefit Boxes are rather soft, too. All my Guerlain blushes are huge disappointments.
I think I own one of every brand LOL the true sign of a real beauty junkie.
I don’t know if this “softest” means the texture, if so, then Illamasqua, or it would be Laduree’s pressed blushes – hands down the best, beat whatever there are on the US market.
nope. everyones wrong here. softest by far is cargo. ive tried many of these blushes mentioned and cargo is the softest. very under-rated brand for sure. especially their blushes
I own 2 pans of Cargo–1 is a traditional formula in a tin, and the other is one of their HD Blu-Ray blushes. I still say it’s no where near as finely milled, delicate, and soft on all counts as the 4 pans of Illamasqua I own.
Being that I work at Inglot, I have too say that our blushes are out of this world soft. I have grown very fond of them. However, beware, they are quite messy, being that they are so loosely packed.
I have heard wonderful things about all Inglot pressed powder products; I really have to try this! Thank you.
I have to say it would be Chantecaille, but they call it cheek shade, not blush. Does that matter? It’s still really soft and lovely.
For me, it’s a tie between Illamasqua and Nars (especially Gina, Luster, Exhibit A, Dolce Vita). The Cargo blushes I have are a close second, Mendocino and Cannes in particular are soft without being overly powdery.
Chanel, although all the comments about Illamasqa make me want to grab my wallet and go shopping!!!
No contest. Illamasqua. However, honorable mention for the MAC prolongwear blushes. And I know people don’t feel like they are very pigmented, but as a pasty pale face they are great.
armani… but I haven’t tried tom ford and burberry yet
TheBalm blushes! I love “Down Boy”
Illamasqua !
from my little experience Dior was defiantly the softest
