Blush is a magical touch that adds a flush of colour and radiance to the cheeks, enhancing any makeup look with its versatility and range of formulas. From powders to creams and everything in between, choosing the right blush can elevate your makeup game. Create stunning, radiant looks with these blushers.
POWDER BLUSH
Powder blushes are perhaps the most traditional form of blush. They come in a variety of finishes, from matte to satin to shimmer, and are typically applied with a brush.
Benefits:
- Buildable Coverage: Easy to control the intensity by layering.
- Longevity: Generally, lasts longer on the skin compared to cream blushes.
- Oil Control: Ideal for those with oily skin as they can help absorb excess oil.
Application: Use a fluffy blush brush for a natural finish, or a denser brush for more intense colour payoff.
CREAM BLUSH
Cream blushes come in pots, sticks, or compacts and have a creamy, blendable texture. They are great for achieving a dewy, fresh-faced look.
Benefits:
- Natural Finish: Melts into the skin for a seamless look.
- Hydrating: Can be beneficial for those with dry skin, as they often contain moisturising ingredients.
- Easy Blending: Can be applied with fingers or a makeup sponge for a quick application.
Application: Dab onto the cheeks and blend using tapping motions with your fingers or a sponge.
LIQUID BLUSH
Liquid blushes are lightweight and offer a sheer, buildable colour. They often come with dropper or pump dispensers for precise application.
Benefits:
- Sheer Coverage: Gives a natural, skin-like finish.
- Layering: Easy to layer for more intensity without looking cakey.
- Versatility: Can be mixed with foundation or moisturiser for a custom tint.
Application: Apply a few dots onto the cheeks and blend quickly with fingers or a sponge before it sets.
BLUSH STAIN OR CHEEK TINT
Blush stains or cheek tints come in liquid or gel form and provide a long-lasting flush of colour that mimics a natural blush from within.
Benefits:
- Longevity: Often the longest-wearing blush formula.
- Water-resistant: Stands up well to humidity and sweat.
- Sheer Buildability: Allows for a natural look or can be built up for more vibrancy.
Application: Apply sparingly and blend quickly as stains set fast.
