8 Best Blushers for a Natural Flush on Any Skin Tone

Words by Nasreen Osman



Blusher has enjoyed a major moment in the spotlight this year, thanks partly to TikTok beauty trends that have reignited our love for this trusted staple. From the viral “cold girl” look (blush applied close to your under eyes) to the “boyfriend blush” placement (that sits lower on your cheeks), blush has re-entered the beauty discourse and taken up its rightful place in our make-up routines.


Whether you’re aiming for a soft, rosy glow or a bolder pop of colour, we’ve curated the eight best blushers to help you tap into this trend effortlessly. Read on for our top picks that are setting the standard this season.

Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush

Known for its luxurious, cruelty-free products, Hourglass is no stranger to creating viral hits with lasting appeal, and the Unreal Liquid Blush fits the bill perfectly. Loved for its weightless, buildable formula, it delivers a natural, dewy glow with the help of its precise dropper. Effortless to blend and long-lasting you can apply a touch of pigment for a fresh radiant finish, or embrace the 'over-blushed' trend by layering for a bolder coverage.

MAC Glow Play Cushiony Blush

MAC doesn't mess around when it comes to creating professional MUA-grade products with innovative formulas and the Glow Play Cushiony Blush is a testament to that. As the name suggests, the blusher has a unique bouncy, cushion-like texture that melts into your skin for a fresh dewy finish. Swirl the blush into this gel-powder blend and you'll fall in love with the natural flush it gives.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick

Make-up minimalists will agree that having a trusty blush stick such as the Westman Atelier's Baby Cheeks Blush Stick is a non-negotiable when it comes to achieving a ‘no make-up make-up look’ with minimal effort. True to Westman Atelier's commitment to clean beauty, this blush is enriched with skincare ingredients like jojoba oil and shea butter to hydrate and smooth your skin. The result? Your cheeks will look flushed and glowing in one simple swipe.

Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint

You've probably seen Armani's newest cheek creation all over your For You page and for good reason. Featuring an innovative gel-cream texture, the Luminous Silk Cheek Tint offers featherlight application that blends effortlessly into your skin using your fingertips. It's even enriched with micro-spheres and light-reflecting pigments to bestow next-level luminosity without feeling cakey.

Apply & Sculpt

Prefer to use brushes to apply your blush? Discover a wide range of tools to suit your every need — whether it’s a soft, fluffy brush for a diffused finish or a precise stippling brush for targeted colour.

Guerlain Terracotta Blush

If you like your vanity to look as chic as you feel, then Guerlain’s Terracotta Blushes are for you.
