What's the best brush to use for Cream Blushes?

[nprotundo]

I've recently discovered creme blushes and I particularly like the Bobbi Brown Pot rouge blushes and so far I've only been applying it using my fingers. While I like that method, there are days when I do not want or feel like sticking my fingers into the pot and getting my fingers dirty. I also feel like no matter how clean my fingers are, that I'm somehow transferring bacteria and all that nastiness to the blush. I have a couple of natural hair blush brushes like Louis Young and Bobbi brown but it seems like I waste so much product on the brush just trying to get the color to show up my cheeks as oppose to using my fingers. Should I be using a synthetic brush? I have the MAC 187, and I've tried that to apply the creme blushes, but I feel like its not dense enough to grab enough pigment. Does that make sense? Any suggestions?

BB pot rouges, love them so much. I have found is so much easier to apply them with brushes. And the resulst looks much better than with the fingers. I like to apply them using two brushes a sonia kashuk foundation brush to place the rouge on my cheeks and then blend it with the MAC 188 brush. Hope this helps.

I like to use a MAC 187 OR 188. You can find cheaper alternatives on ELF.

i like to use my fingers. i find a brush eats up too much of the product, even a 188/187.

I use my fingers, I just haven't gotten around to purchasing a cream blush brush yet.

Do the rouge pots have good lasting power?

MAC cream blushes and Nars Multiple sticks don't stay on too long for me.

I always use my fingers as well. But it sounds like a flat brush would work nicely for this purpose.

I use my fingers, because I like how the warmth from my fingers can warm up the blush a little, making it easier to spread and it looks more natural.

Any stippling brush works well

Mac 187 and or fingers clean of course!

MAC 187, I apply my BB pot rouges with them and love the results, much better than foundation brushes or fingers

I cannot stand using fingers for any type of makeup application. For cream highlighters & blushes I use MAC 130 & MAC 109 & buff it out with a Bobbi Brown Face Blender brush or a Kabuki brush.

I think that clean fingers work best to apply cream blush.

try using a Mac 130...it is amazing for applying cream blushers.
