I'm so much of a blush amateur that I often leave application to the pros. I've lost many a fight with streaky, powdery grossness, but even I can use this Kevyn Aucoin The Neo Blush ($38). The pigmented formula literally does glide over your face, and it gives the softest, rosiest glow you could ever hope for. It turns my pasty complexion from zero to hero, and I want to hoard all four hues.
