Need help finding a blush...

I am 74 and I wear BM's Golden Ivory minerial foundation. I want something that looks natural on my skin. I prefer the no makeup look, but need a little glow. Thanks for any suggestions  you can give me.

I find cream blushes will give you the glow.  I have used Honest cosmetics blush with great results.

Try a bronzer instead of a blush.

@Jhincher - The first thing that came to mind when you said blush with a little glow is 'Milani Baked Blush'. I just went to Amazon and searched for 'Milani Blush' and the color 'Luminoso' is shown. I have one of their blushes and it's very nice.

The lightest most natural light pink blush I've found is Too Faced Dandelion. Looks totally natural...a baby pink shade.

Hi I am in my 60's and recently started using the Milani Baked Blush it has some very light colors with a small glow and you can work your way up in the color and glow scale ..I use number 2 and number 5 and they both give just a little glow if you go light handed.As with anything you can apply it darker....I also like this brand but they are a bit pricier! https://thrivecausemetics.com/collections/blush

I just made the switch to a creme blush. I bought one from Bobbi Brown and really like it. It goes on light and I can add more if needed. I have always used powder blush and decided my older skin might look better with a creme and it did.

My mom wore this shade.  She had dark brown eyes and silver hair and was light-complected.  If you are a 'medium' foundation this may be a bit chalky but if you are light, this may be just what you are looking for. It's more of a glow than a 'blush' but it's very pretty!

@Jhincher I use Stila cream blush in the Lillium shade. You can use it on your lips too. It is heavily pigmented so you need very little. Need to blend it well. $25, but it lasts forever. This shade is a nude pink, I am very pale and it works for me.

 

Stila also makes a stick version that has more glow. I have never tried it but I would like to. It's called Complete Harmony lip and cheek stick. 

 

You can buy these on the Stila and Ulta sites.
