From natural glow to ‘no make-up’ look – we test three blushlighters at all price points

I’M usually each for hybrid quality products but there’s 1 caller 1 I’m sceptical astir – blushlighter.

The operation of blusher and highlighter sounds similar a look for disaster.

So this week, I enactment 3 to the test.

Budget

Sculpted By Aimee Liquid Lights Blush, £18 for 7ml, sculptedbyaimee.co.uk: This was the archetypal of the 3 I tried, truthful I had nary thought rather what to expect.

But I’m acquainted with liquid and pick blushes truthful utilized the aforesaid attack I would with those, and it worked perfectly.

A small goes a agelong way, yet it’s not truthful intensely pigmented that you’ll extremity up clown-like if you overdo it.

The glow looks natural, truthful it’s cleanable for regular deterioration – though I’d emotion much shades.

Mid-range

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush, £26 for 2.8g, spacenk.com: When I swatched this connected my hand, I thought determination was perfectly nary mode I’d similar it connected my face.

It’s highly glittery, and erstwhile I archetypal applied it to my cheeks, I wasn’t definite I would ever scope for it again.

By the extremity of the day, however, it looked acold much natural, and the pinkish hue remained – which isn’t ever the case.

Now I’ve mastered the exertion – little is more, and support blending adjacent erstwhile you deliberation you can’t blend immoderate much – it’s 1 I’ll decidedly usage for peculiar occasions and erstwhile I deliberation my photograph volition beryllium taken.

But it’s excessively glowy for maine for mundane use.

Luxury

Dior Forever Glow Maximizer, £36 for 11ml, boots.com: I had mixed feelings astir this and person gone backmost to it astir a twelve times trying to enactment retired my thoughts.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t ever enactment good with my instauration truthful I person to beryllium truly cautious with however I use it – and generally, usage my fingers alternatively than a brush.

It’s buildable, truthful you tin dial up the colour arsenic there’s not overmuch pigment with conscionable 1 layer, but that means it’s virtually intolerable to use excessively much.

If you’re usually idiosyncratic who doesn’t deterioration blush, but wants a steadfast glow, oregon you emotion the “no make-up” look, past you’ll truly similar it, but I similar much colour.

I BOUGHT my archetypal Christmas contiguous this week – and Cult Beauty’s The Cult Bag of Tricks, £115 but worthy £460, is 1 of the champion quality gifts I’ve seen truthful far.

With a full-size Charlotte Tilbury mascara, Medik8 moisturiser and U Beauty Lip balm successful the 16-product edit, which besides includes the likes of Sol De Janeiro, Slip, Caudalie and Summer Fridays, you can’t spell wrong.
