Blushing Beauty
Your blush is blushing beauty! Blush is having a moment; it is currently one of the best-selling items in cosmetics, and everyone and their momma is launching a blush these days. The market is flooded with blushing beauty tools to flush our cheeks and slay that healthy-looking skin.
Blush has always been one of my weaknesses, and I likely have more blushes than I will ever use. Here is a list of a few of my favorite blushing beauties.
MAKE UP FOR EVER – Artist Longwear Skin-Fusing Powder Blush: This latest powder blush features a new, talc-free, gel-based, skin-fusing technology that bonds with the skin to help the pigment remain longer on the skin. A lovely assortment of colors and textures are available, and blushes are transferrable into a custom palette should one desire. Great pigment mixed with technological innovation, MAKE UP FOR EVER hits it out of the ballpark yet again.
Saie – Dew Blush Blendable Liquid Blush: Saie has been making waves in the Clean Beauty space, and this liquid blush shows off the impact on the market. Easy to blend, this liquid blush comes with a doe-foot applicator and can be blended with brushes, fingers, or a sponge with ease. Bright and vibrant color and muted tones enhance the complexion and give the skin life.
Fenty Beauty by Rihanna – Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush: Say what you want about celebrity brands, though most are unabashed money scams in my opinion, Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty is a stand-out! My success rate with their products is high, and when I tried the Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush, I loved its pigment and blendability. Use it alone on the skin, over or under your foundation; this product blends easily, does not disrupt other products, and plays well with other products and brands.
RMS Beauty – ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush: Normally, I steer clear of glowy, reflective, or metallic blushes. My skin has some texture from acne, and though I have had treatments and laser treatments, I am usually more prone to matte or satiny textures for my cheeks. The level of hydration in this luminous blush is unparalleled. I have found that it does not accentuate my texture in an unflattering way as it diffuses the appearance of my skin and gives it the most lustrous radiance. A blush topper like no other, this product is a showstopper!
NARS – Talc-Free Powder Blush: NARS has been making incredible blushes for decades now and has long been a reference in both lip colors and blush colors. The recently reformulated version is, of course, as its title suggests, completely talc-free. This new texture glides well and builds up pigment well, blending beautifully on the skin. Of course, the legendary colors are all omnipresent; however, NARS has a lovely mix of subtle and bold shades to choose from.
Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez – Soft Pinch Liquid Blush: I know, I know, I just wrote that I don’t like celebrity brands, and here is another one. However, the quality of the product and the relatively accessible price point make me include this liquid blush here. The first time I tried it, a simple drop on each cheek was more than enough, and the size of the bottle ensures many days of blushing, beautiful cheeks. It glides well on top of liquid and cream products, just as well as it does on clean skin. Trying it over a powder and it still blends out beautifully, truly a well-designed product. Trying it helps you to understand its virality online.
Choosing favorites today was a little tricky as I truly love all of my blushes. Hopefully, one of these blushes will transform you into your very own, blushing beauty. Stay gorgeous, sending you good vibes and reminders of sunscreen!
