Can anyone recommend a blusher please that I would be able to get in Boots or Superdrug please?

Also (and sorry for the stupid question) are they ok over a bb cream?

Bourjois do nice cream blushers that you apply with your fingertips.

My favourite all time non-designer blusher is Bourjois Rose Ambre blusher.

It's gorgeous..matte and very beautiful natural colour. You will find that it lasts for a long time too as you only need a little at a time. It's gives you that beautiful natural rosy look.

You can wear it over a bb cream.

I like the MUa cream blusher perfection in "blossom". It's £1 from Superdrug. No idea re BB.

I was going to say bourjois little round pots. They're lovely and the teeny tiny brush that comes with them means you can take them out with you if you need a little mid day boost.

Just had a look online, there are so many shades! How do you decide which is best for your skin tone? Is it just a case of trial and error? I have fairly pale skin and wear Botanics bb cream in medium.

You can't go wrong with Rose Ambre.

Just use it sparingly and apply more if needed.

A peachy colour is always said to suit most skin tones.

Peach good especially if you have any pink in your skin.

And if you can afford it buy a big brush.

Or even a brighter orange rather than peach if you have pink skin

Went into town to get the Rose Ambre and could not find it anywhere.



Looks like I can order it online though.
