A good blush gives a lit-from-within, healthy-looking glow, something we all strive for with our makeup. A bad blush gives a streaky, sparkly, clownish look -- not attractive. Luckily our readers have tried tons of blushes, and here we share their favorites. Give them a try, they guarantee you wont look like you're auditioning for the circus. (Just remember to use a real blush brush with all of them, not the little ones that come in the package, OK?)

I'm surprised to see that Jane is still around, I don't recall ever seeing them on any drugstore shelves within the past 5 years or so.. or at least their display never stood out to me

I'm a little surprised Cover Girl, AND Almay, AND Jane AND New York color made the list! I've tried the mark Just Pinched blush tints, and was unimpressed. Cargo blushes are some of my favorites.
