TOP 5 BLUSHES | SHIMMERS & MATTES

So since I haven't done a Top 5 in a while, I thought I'd share with you my recent favorite blushes! These are the blushes I tend to reach for, and I love how there's a mixture of shimmers and mattes, plus I threw in an orangey tone in there too! Enjoy!

From left to right:

Benefit 'Dandelion', Rock & Republic 'Spank', MAC 'Legendary', Dior Poudre Shimmer 'Rose Diamond' and Sleek 'Rose Gold'

The Matte Pinks

It's such a shame that the Rock & Republic blush is discontinued. I'm very thankful that it is so pigmented that I don't need a huge amount on my brush to sweep on my cheeks, as I constantly use this blush and it has not even touched pan! Such a pleasant miracle!

Benefit 'Dandelion' is a great 'dupe', as the shade and finish is extremely similar, so if you want to get your hands on the Rock & Republic one but can't, I highly recommend Benefit Dandelion. Both have such a beautiful dusty pink color that's great for all skin tones.

The Shimmer Roses

What can I say? I love my Dior 'Rose Diamond' so much that it has been featured in so many of my blog posts and videos! It's just such a finely milled, velvety texture, not to mention the gorgeous Cannage Weave embossed on the blush. The colors can be swirled together for the beautiful rose gold finish, or can be used individually. 

The Sleek Rose Gold is definitely one of my all time favorites. I took it on holiday with me and it gives the most beautiful iridescent glow with its shimmer. As all Sleek products go, the blush comes highly pigmented and at a great price!

The Orange

MAC 'Legendary' is a very subtle peach color. It's one of those everyday blushes that just helps put the entire makeup look together for a refined and polished (but not overdone) look. 

With a gorgeous satin finish, this blush will effortlessly light up your face!

I'm always on the lookout for new blushes to try out - let me know what's your favorite blush!
