So we are familiar with the fact I love blush yes? If I can just take one makeup item with me on a desert island it would likely be blush – just don’t make me choose which one!
No really, don’t! 😛
So, what brushes do I use on a daily basis to apply my blushes? Here is an insight into the ones I use regularly.
Ecotools Bamboo Blush Brush (link to review)
This one’s a winner in my book. I use it for every single blush, whether it is a pigmented one or a non pigmented one. For pigmented blushes, I just tap it on the surface and apply with a light hand to buff it in. For less pigmented blushes, I swipe it across the powder and the buff it in.
It works like a charm and I am really thinking of getting a backup. Its quite perfect for the price. You can read my previous review by clicking on the link above.
I like using this with : Benefit Sugarbomb and Coralista, MAC Porcelain Pink and almost any blush I use.

I like taking this one along when I travel because its small. I can’t recall the price anymore (but its likely to have gone up anyway)
I like using this with: Shu Uemura Glow On blushes and NARS powder blushes and anything that might be pigmented.
