That's an idea!

However, as my wife is incapacitated so couldn't go to a Boots and buy a
'blusher' for me (she doesn't / wouldn't need one anyway).

I suppose I could best spare my own embarrassment - by making a catapult.

Second childhood, here I come...

Why not buy your own blusher brush? You presumably shop for other
feminine items for her?

You could buy in a supermarket and use a check out manned by a spotty
youth who wouldn't recognise a blusher brush if he saw one.

an up-market cosmetics department
will be able to sell him a very fat (about 3/4 inch in diameter
compressed) stubby soft brush intended for make-up. Pricey, I imagine,
but my ex had the same good-quality one for about twenty years.
Water-colour brushes themselves come in various sizes, too: I bet you
can get one half an inch thick.

They sell them in Boots and are used for "blusher", in the olden days,
this was called rouge. You can get them from a couple of £ upwards
and for a good one which should last years, around £8.

I've got a few old ones, I might put them on ebay in the gardening
section.
