The 10 Best Blushers

GALLERY >> Grazia's 10 Best Blushers

Blushers are big news for this season, so it's important to get your blusher right-easier said than done!  With the cold snap well and truly set in, blusher can help control you from looking too ruddy and windswept, or dare we say it, a bit like Aunt Sally!  From powder to cream, finding the right blusher demands as much effort as finding your foundation and skincare. Why?  Because there are several factors to take into consideration from your skin tone and type, there's no 'one blusher fits all' so take a look at the bounty of blushers on offer and discover which one is right for you.

10. Estée Lauder Pure Colour Blush in Mauve Mystique

The perfect winter blushe, it's a warm pink that extends that faading tan just a little bit extra.  It's also infused with gold flecks for added glow factor.

6. Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Star Dust

Although the subtle pink of this blush is overshadowed by the fact that it's incased in double C chic packaging, it hides the fact that this is in fact a clever multi-shade blusher, barely noticable to the eye.  Use just on your apples for a healthy glow.
