I've used the same blush for some time (Tarte cream/gel?). I need a new one and I always like to take a look and see if there is anything else I should consider. I've gotten used to the cream instead of powder. Are there any blushes you are loving or hearing a lot about? Also, should I consider a multi-use product? cheeks/lips
I own a ton of blushes. I don't like double duty because I feel unsure that products meant for my face are okay for me to ingest, or stuff for my lips won't break me out.
Some recs:
Mac powder blush because it's so pigmented.
Benefit posietint and other tint colors because they look so natural and stay put.
The Balm's how bout them apples cheek pallette because they are a cream that acts more like benfit's tints. (Says it's lip and cheek but I've never used it on my lips)
Stila aqua glow watercolor blush is beautiful and blends really well.
Not a cream but the Hourglass blushes are really nice. They are mixed with the Ambient Lighting powders and give a nice glow to the face.
I've used TheBalm cream blushes as both a blush and lip color and they work great for both maybe not the greatest staying power on the lips. Personally I just prefer a lipstick.
I’m not a cream blush person but of the ones I’ve used, I like the little Becca pots the best (don’t remember what they’re called, they are two colors swirled together).
For a powder blush I prefer something that isn’t too pigmented since I have a heavy hand. Tarte and NARS make nice ones but I find good ones at the drugstore too - Milani is particularly good, both the baked kind and the one that looks like a rose.
I have a thing for blush, so I have quite a collection. For the most part though, I find myself always turning to either the Becca Beach Tint Shimmer Souffles, Bobbi Brown Rouge Pots, or Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Cheek Gelees.
eta, the Bobbi Brown Rouge Pots are for lips and cheeks, if that's what you're going for.

I really like Missha Tension Blushers. It’s similar to cushion foundations, but in a creamy blush. They’re buildable and last long on the face and in the package.
I don't even know where to post an intro here! I was on TK/TN/TB since 2003, mostly local boards. I was m_and_m.
