Trying & Liking: Max Factor Miracle Touch Creamy Blush

For those of you who just can't get along with Benetint, I've a suggestion. Max Factor's Miracle Touch Creamy Blush, €10.79, is a light, gel-based blush that I'm using at the mo and liking a lot.

Way easier to manipulate over liquid foundation, it's non-sticky and doesn't have to be super-duper blended, which is where the whole, "shag it, I've just rubbed my foundation off" dilemma comes from, so if you've come a cropper with tints before, but like the idea, this could be the one for you. I'm using the shade above, soft candy, but it comes in three other pinky shades that are not quite so scary looking.

As a bonus, it's bang-on-trend too: Max Factor's global creative-design director Pat McGrath (the woman Vogue called the most influential make-up artist in the world) worked the new flushed-blush look at Stella McCartney, Anna Sui, Peter Som and Lanvin.
