Powder or cream blushers?
I have to admit, I can't decide; I love my Illamasqua cream blushers to death, but I'm partial to the dusty romantic look a light pinky rose powder blush can give....
These three are the powder blushers that I go to for my everyday. All a different type of pink; one simple bright pinky rose, one with shimmer and one more peachy.

NARS Powder Blush - Deep Throat
Dodgy name, but this is my holy holy holy grail powder blush. A blue-toned pink with golden shimmer = perfection in a pan for my skin colour. It makes my skin GLOW and look healthy. It's the perfect finishing touch to my makeup.
Bobbi Brown Powder Blush -Pink Coral
Another holy holy holy grail. It's the perfect blue-toned, (see the pattern?) everyday, rosy pink. I probably use this more in the Winter as it gives that dusty and romantic look because it doesn't have any shimmer. But don't get me wrong, I will use this when my skin is looking FLAAAOOOWWLESS and I wanna inject some colour in to my skin - note, I don't contour everyday, so I use blusher as a way to make myself look alive.
Sephora Powder Blush - Orange Pop
This is my summer blush. Peach, verging on a little red-ish in tone. It lasts on my skin ALL DAY - no primer or setting sprays used. It has a way with my powder brush to not pick up too much so that it doesn't cause that disastrous makeup mishap of making you look like a clown. It's just so pigmented and has the staying powder equivalent to a Sharpie pen. (Don't fret, it does comes off with your makeup when you wash your face in the evening).
What are you everyday holy grail blushers? Any other brands that I should try out?
I will have a video up tomorrow about skincare! Hooray!

For everyday use, I prefer powder blushes. But sometimes cream blushes add some dimension. :]

Very true! I love the effect of both, I really can't decide!! I really like the formula of Illamasqua's cream blushers; pigmented but easily blendable and they look really natural! x
