When I first started wearing blush, I'm pretty sure I gave Bozo a run for his money in the looks department. I was naive enough to use the little brush that came in the compact (never a good idea) and had two lovely pink stripes on each side of my face. Where were these tips when I needed them!?

Now, thankfully, I've purchased a decent blush brush and I use one of these top blushes. What's so great about them? Well, TotalBeauty.com readers say these blushes give their cheeks a natural-looking glow that lasts all day -- and don't leave them looking like rejects from a Ringling Bros. audition.
