No.7 Natural Blush Cheek Colour


I recently tried out a few blushes (mainly baked ones cos they look so snazzy) but found myself making my way back to this product. No.7 Natural Blush has been my staple blush for a few years now mainly because it’s classic and easy to wear.

Admittedly their is not much choice within the range as these ‘Cheek Colours’ are only available in  4 shades. I have tried others but my favourite is 10. Soft Damson (how do they choose the numbers when there are only 4 colours?). They use a fairly sheer, powder formula and come in simple 5g pots, which is the same weight of product you’d find in a traditional Nars blush.

Soft Damson is a matte carnation pink. To my eye it also has a very subtle peach undertone. Each of the four shades seems designed for a certain skin tone and Soft Damson is definitely for the paler girl and it works to enhance the cheeks with a nice girly glow but isn’t overpowering. However, depending on your personal choice it is also fairly easy to build up as it has quite good pigmentation. It also has amazing staying power, and I very rarely have to re-apply during the day/ night-out.

At £9.50 a pot, i think it’s a good, mid-range product. Plus, with the ever present Boots £5 off vouchers it becomes an excellent, low-end product.

Do you use these blushes? What's your staple brand?

    That's a pretty colour! The great thing with Boots as well is when you find out you have enough points and you don't have to spend any cash!

    My current blush is a Korean brand one, Holika Hoklika Midnight Owl.

    That is a gorgeous 'flush of the cheeks' natural colour, i always end up finding No7 gems when they have the £5 off vouchers doing the rounds. I might have to take a little looky at this when I'm in boots next *cough cough* *rushing out the door*

      haha, yeah. I think there's probably a whole collection of shoppers who only browse the No. 7 stands when the £5 vouchers are out (: xx
