Help me shop - Make Up

I'd like to order blush on Amazon. Please rec something long wearing. I got overwhelmed in Ulta, chose a palette and didn't realize they are all shimmery. Not good at nearly 40!

I only wear BareMinerals makeup, including their blush. But, the one I have has some slight shimmer in it. I think the loose powders have shimmer and the compact ones don't, but I'm not positive.

I used MAC exclusively for years and someone on here recommended elf recently. Since it's so cheap I bought some and have been using it for a few months and it's been good. I can't really tell a difference between them and the elf was way cheaper. It comes on fewer colors so if you're picky/really into makeup it might not work but I just needed something to do the job. I do really like their mascara though and you can't beat the price.

I also tried neutrogena after it was recommended and am allergic.

Not on Amazon. But the Sonia Kashuk creme blush is awesome. It's at Target. There are only about 4 colors to choose from. It gives you a glow but absolutely is not glittery/shimmery.

I have a related makeup question...

Sephora, Ulta and Mac have all opened stores in my mall in the last 6 months. I want to schedule one of their makeup sessions. Which one should I choose? I currently only wear Smashbox CC cream, but I'm not brand loyal and would like to add more layers to what I do.

I love MAC and have super sensitive skin so am picky with what I can use.

supertrooper1 I'd go to Sephora. They have so many brands that they can help you mix and match to find the right combo for you.

supertrooper1 - that question gives me hives. I've gotten great service at some Ultas. Same with Sephora. And MAC. MAC may be the most expensive. I used to wear it, but stopped because between the drive and price tag I was over it.

I'm ok with some shimmer. What I bought has "highlighters" instead of blush because reading fail. I look like a vampire a la Twilight.

I like my shimmery skin. I feel like it reflects the light and hides my wrinkles and zits. Maybe not though...

[2chatter]

HeartofCheese - I literally just put on makeup because I showered at lunch time. I for the first time ever noticed how far my crows feet extend because the highlighter...highlights them!!! I'm dying. I think I am going to try to go to Target tonight mommyatty and sandandsea.
