It's so refreshing to see a makeup influencer with out lip fillers! You are beautiful girl!

[rajeeii]

immediately knew I could trust this once you said you don’t like the elf cream blushes 😭😭 I always felt like it was just me who didn’t like it

[msmalice]

ngl the flower beauty liquid blush price shocked me because it’s cheaper in australia which is usually the opposite, drugstore makeup in australia is quite costly

I just discovered an older product that has quickly become my favorite drugstore cream blush, best part is it is like $5. The wet n wild Megaglo Makeup Stick Blush, I got mine in Floral Majority. It has decent pigment, it has a bit of glow but no shimmer, I swipe it on and then use a stipple brush to blend and it doesn't lift my foundation or go patchy. Love it!

I agree with you about the elf putty blushes. I decluttered mine along time ago and replaced them with the Honest Beauty creme blush in Rose Pink, which has become my absolute favourite ♥️🌷

Thank you for going through these blushes and explaining the pros and cons! I was actually going to try one of the Elf glowy putty blushes because I'm trying to build a simple, inexpensive "kit" for my upcoming wedding. Now that you mention the Milani being better, though, I think I'll try that instead!

We LOVE a comparison video! Thank you for the time and energy you put into this.

For the elf blushes, I bought several colours. And only 1 out of 5 worked for me and lasted all day! Maui in the luminous. ❤ cover girl blush in iced cappuccino was my jolt grail for almost 20 years 😂

[sherynemmanuel]

Would you make this into a series for other makeup products? Thanks for the video 😉

I think the milani baked blush in dolce pink is my top blush. It's definitely my most used because i can wear it with any eyeshadow. It's like neutral on me and i just love it.

One of the cheapest but best blushes I’ve found is the LA Colors Cream Gel blush. I found it at the Dollar Store and it was actually a shade I’d wear so I figured I’d give it a try and didn’t expect much since so much at the dollar store is hit or miss (a lot of misses 😂) but OH MY GOODNESS! It’s great! It’s pigmented so doesn’t take much to get good color payoff, but can also be sheered out. Blends out easily. It dries down completely but doesn’t look dry. It’s a natural finish. Lasts all day.

I have been using the bright pink cover girl cheekers blush since middle school… I’ve tried others but always go back 😅

[danielaaguilar]

The essence is so pretty it is luminous without emphasising texture, my fave!

[kiravladimirovna]

No one talks about the Juvia's Place blush duos. I use that almost every day!

[hollythornell]

I love the NYX liquid blush. I tap my out with a dry sponge and it looks so natural

[pajamamama]

Excellent video! I wondered why I wasn't reaching for my elf putty blushes but now I know I'm not alone. I definitely fall into the camp of buildable Powder blushes. I think it's because I use the draping technique and I want a light dusting on the temples and a tiny touch along the hair line. Then I can double it up on the cheek bones. I just find it to be easier to work with than really high pigmented products. I've found the best way to use powdery blushes is to follow with a setting spray. It sets them down and increases longevity.

That Catrice blush looks so cute. I have been wanting to place an order for their concealer. I’m not a fan of buying makeup through Amazon. I prefer to order directly from the retailer. I didn’t want to only order one item. Now I can order multiple items. Thanks, Kelly.

I watched a video Marlena (MG founder) put out on makeup that’s not worth the splurge. She mentioned blush, stating that all it really is, is overpriced eyeshadow. It makes prefect sense and I want to switch from my Milk and Nude Stix blushes so I definitely appreciated this video. Thanks for your content 😊

[victoriakeller]

The Florence by Mills cream blush is incredible. It converted me from hating blush to wearing only blush some days!!

[aquaqueen]
