MAC and Dior. There are others too but those are the two that come to mind (BECCA would have been a choice too but the brand is no longer available).
MAC, Chanel, Nars.
PML as well, but the colour choices are pretty limited for the very pale.
Hourglass, definitely. I don’t have everything they’ve ever released by any means but I have a fair number of their blushes and I’ve never been disappointed. Although it’s a smaller range, I also really like Charlotte Tilbury’s assortment. Swish & Pop is a lovely formula.
Tarte, Dior, e.l.f., My Pretty Zombie, ColourPop.
MAC – love their Sheertone, Mineralize and Extra Dimension blushes.
MAC and Clinique are my favorite for blush. I wasn’t super impressed with Cover FX but then again they are just not MAC!
Milani, Natasha Denona, Bare Minerals. When a blush is too dry or matte, it emphasizes the tiny lines on my cheeks; the blushes I have from this brand make my cheeks look airbrushed.
MAC and 3CE. I love matte blush and both of these companies seem to do them right, they are matte without looking super dry.
Nars, MAC, Pat McGrath, Essence and Tarte.
Surratt makes the most seamless powder blushes I’ve ever used, putting aside the price. But Clinique and Rare have been close favorites of mine too.
I haven’t tried many blush brands, to be honest. But judging by the many reviews here I would say MAC, Clinique’s Cheek Pop range (I do have Melon Pop and it is lovely), Dior’s and Cover Fx.
Scott Barnes and Tarte.
Nars blushes – my favorite, Hourglass good formula and lasts all day, MAC blushes are great and my old Tarte Clay blushes.
NARS, MAC, Bare Minerals, A couple shades from TARTE that have been around forever.
Tarte powder blush lasts the longest on my combination skin. Their shades are unique as well.
Tarte in shade Paarty is beautiful!
Nars, MAC, old Chanel blushes, Dior, old Tom Ford, Clinique cheek pop, Charlotte Tilbury and my new fave Rare Beauty.
Tarte, NARS, Revlon. I’ve also had pretty good luck with ColourPop lately.
Oh, and Milani baked blushes are great too!
Surratt, Suqqu, Sisley, Hermes
Surrat, Chantecaille, NARS.
Clinique cheek pops, benefit box blushes just dug out her Ana and love the cool tones although I think it was discontinued. Ofra and milk makeup also are current loves as is jouer
Meant to say Benefit Hervana
I said Clinique as well; their Cheek Pop blushes are some of my most used.
Yes. MAC Extra Dimension Blush are slept on.
Clinique, Laura Mercier and Nars
Clinique Cheek Pop, Benefit box blushes and Lancome. Never had a dud.
