I am NW20, light brown hair hazel eyes and im looking to get a blush cream for everyday use and what brush applys it best.

Thank You!

I have your same coloring! I bought three blushcremes that I just love - Posey, Ladyblush & Lilicent. Either of the later two are great for everyday. Lilicent has more peach to it. I use my fingers, but they recommend the 190 brush if you choose to use a brush.

On second thought, I would definitely get the Ladyblush! It is the perfect fresh natural flush. Beautiful color

Im torn between lilicent and ladyblush now.. LOL.

How does applying the bluch cream affect foundation/ concealar?

thanks!

Ladyblush is more natural flush pink while Lilicent is natural flush peachy. They apply very easily over foundations - I use Bare Escentuals, so I have success over powder foundation. Just use a light patting touch and they look sooo natural.

I agree with lilicent or ladyblush they are both gorgeous!
i use 187 to apply my cremeblushes

Also, I saw this photo from MAC backstage where the MA used Luna CCB very lightly under the eyes and down onto the sides of the nose and up high on the cheekbones to highlight, then used Ladyblush almost as contour, then just on the apples of the cheeks they used Posey (reminds me of Barbie Don't Be Shy blush). She looked like a china doll! I thought it was so beautiful that it made me buy the creme blushes for the first time.

187 is great for applying blushcremes.

Ladyblush is my absolute favorite! I am NW20, too, and I wear it to work almost every day. I use a 109SH brush that I got last year and it is really easy to get a natural look with it.

I use the 187 as well, Lillicent is a gorgeous natural blush, but I haven't tried Ladyblush.

I have your same colouring and LOVE Pleasureful. It's very natural and flattering, rosey-peach without shimmer (I don't like shimmer in blushcremes, they make you look oily). The Mac MUA applied three dots of that on my cheekbones, smeared it a bit with a wedge sponge and then fully blended it with 188 brush (but also the 187 will do, it's just bigger).

Honestly, I would look at other brands besides MAC for blush creams. The MAC ones aren't that great, imo. Check out Bobbi Brown and Nars as well, they make nice ones.
