Blushers Best Rated Top 20

Dear Dr. Dave and Dr. Dee,

I don't normally wear blush, but would like to start, or at least try it out. Are there any recommendations?

Signed,

Dear Cheeks need color,

There are many different brands that are recommended. You can choose a blush depending on how much you are willing to spend ($5 to $50), what type of blusher you need (long lasting or not), the look (sheen or matte), and if you prefer the consistency to be a loose or pressed powder, powder cream, or liquid. Most of the top rated blushers are pressed powders.

If you are not sure if you will continue to wear blush, then choose an inexpensive blush. You can also go to the department stores and cosmetic shops such as Sephora or Ulta and sample cosmetics or view at
