What brand can't seem to do blush well?
Most brands put out decent enough blush, though I recall not having much luck with Viseart and Anastasia formulas!

I don’t know if if it’s me or the formulas changed, but I tried some CoverGirl blushes out of nostalgia a couple years ago, and they were all awful.
Wrote out a long reply and lost my internet connection. Anyway, it’s probably Physician’s Formula based on my disappointment with their Happy Glow Mood Boosting (or whatever it was called – it was a mouthful and a LOT to live up to) blush in Rose. It looked like it would be perfect – a cool, rosy pink mix of hearts of varying shades of pink and rose – and it should have been perfect but it was absolutely lacking in pigment. That, coupled with a “shimmer bricks” type of product of theirs (not strictly a blush but still a cheek product) has made me unwilling to try the brand again.
I’m neither a PF nor a pink devotee. And darker in skintone than you. The depotted version of this lives in the container above Meteorites’ padding. With all my m/u packed, it stayed out by accident. Idk how it works for me as an almost not see blush, but it does. No other PF in stash….hmmm
Now a brand may not have an extensive shade range or few different formulas but in general I think most brands do blush right or at least well enough. I never liked Colourpop”s blush, even the super shock formula and they only ever really do one or two colors so they are an easy pass
Because just about every blush I purchased was reviewed on your site, I really haven’t had any terrible luck with any brand whom I’ve bought from? And so I cannot think of anything off the top of my head!
The only blush I ever buy are products recommended on this site and ones that all rate an A….. so I never had the opportunity to see what is bad out there…. Lol are Christine’s recommendations are all great…… I have so many…… I never even look to purchase another……. I am over stocked! 🙂
Now I am not an expert in blushes ike I am more in eyeshadows, so I can’t say which medium and high end brand doesn’t do them well.
I do know that many of the blushes from DS brands are not that great and I think it is one of a few products (like eyeshadows) that you have to pay that bit more for to get a good one.
This is where we rely on you Christine to help us out choosing an excellent blush, with lasting power and the finish we like from a variety of brands.
