Peachy cheeks + swatches


I'm a sucker for blush, peach blush to be exact. So here are some high-end and drugstore blushes side by side.

(from bottom to top)

Benefit: Georgia - very little pigment, but gives a slight sheen to the cheeks. For fair skin girls it can be used lightly as an all over powder or build it up for a neutral peachy sheen on the cheeks.

Forever 21: Love & beauty blush - this blush is more pinky peach when the two colors are swirled together. It has a slight shimmery look on the cheeks.

Hard Candy: skinny dipping - super pigmented! very much on the orange side, but when swirled together with the brown it makes it more wearable. This will look amazing on tan skin tones.

Illamasqua: Lover - king of pigmented blushes! very orange but blends like a dream, will look good on most skin tones when you use a light hand.

Bourjois: cream blush 01 - cream to powder finish, easy to blend. Probably my most used cream blush. Stays on all day and doesn't feel sticky. 

Jouer: honeysuckle - very creamy and easy to work with. Because it is a cream blush it leaves that "dewy" sheen on the cheeks, perfect for a fresh spring cheek look.

Most of the drugstore blushes are just as good as the high-end ones, in fact i probably use the drugstore blushes more often. 

Which one is your favorite?
