Lavish Mauve

Two things you need to know about Max Factor's new Creme Puff Blush - one, there's nothing creamy nor puffy about them, and two, they're some of the most natural-skin-finish blushes I've ever tried.

Nude Mauve and Lavish Mauve are both cool toned shades with mauve undertones - Nude Mauve has a more tawny tone to it, and Lavish Mauve is more pinky-mauve.  Both suit my cool toned pale skin very well.  Even better, the texture of these blushes is so soft that the finish on the skin is incredibly natural - they contain a smattering of super fine shimmer which leaves a naturally glowing finish.

I've long been a fan of baked blushes - some of my favourite ever blushes are Laura Geller's baked blushes - but typically they've been the domain of higher-end brands, coming with a price tag to match.  These Creme Puff blushes are a great example of a high-performance high street baked option, and they cost a mere £8.99, making them a brilliant purchase for anyone looking for soft, super natural colour with a subtle glow.  Which is everyone, really.  Hence why you should immediately go out and buy at least one now.  I've got my eye on Gorgeous Berries for the next time I pass a Boots.
