Max Factor's Miracle Touch creamy blush

The cheap packaging that comes with these little cream blush pots are not great for a brand such as Max Factor - just ignore this, open the little plastic lid, and swish away (or probably stipple!) as these blushes are gorgeous and a definite contender against my pricier MAC cream blushes.

 

The formula is creamy, pigmented, blend-able and lasts all day. What more could you want?

I've loved the shade soft pink for the past few months but after seeing top makeup artist Caroline Barnes feature this easy to wear copper shade on Suzie from Hello October (https://www.youtube.com/user/HelloOctoberxo) in the latest edition of Marie Claire, I can already tell this will be a firm staple in my make up bag over the next few months. It leaves a beautiful sunkissed, bronzey look to the cheek without the clown effect! Blend with a stippling brush, or buff around the edges with a sponge after applying, for a natural flushed look.

At only £6.99 it's pricey for a small pot - blink and you'd miss it on the Max Factor counter - but definitely worth a try!
