Blush can instantly brighten your face and add a youthful, fresh touch to any makeup look.

Over time, I’ve discovered a few favorite shades and formulas that I rotate daily, depending on the mood, season, or makeup style. Here’s a roundup of my current go-to blushes!

1. Etude Lovely Cookie Blusher (02 Grapefruit Jelly)

This blush is perfect for layering over cream blushes to set and intensify the color. Its vibrant bubblegum-pink shade delivers a fun, dolly-like effect when applied lightly to the center of the cheeks. A little goes a long way, and the color lasts all day without fading. It’s ideal for creating a bright, playful flush while keeping the look fresh.

2. CLIO Air Whip Blush (04 Peach Crunch)

This lighter blush offers a soft, shimmery flush with subtle sparkles that catch the light beautifully. Unlike more pigmented blushes, it provides a natural, peachy undertone that complements a variety of lip colors. I often choose this blush when I want a delicate glow rather than an intense pop of color, making it perfect for everyday looks.

3. Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Blush (220 Pink Kiss)

This reddish-pink blush is ideal for layering over cream blushes to amplify color and dimension. While the shade is more muted than the Etude blusher, it delivers a pure, vibrant pink without peach undertones. Its smooth texture blends seamlessly, adding a sophisticated, polished touch to any makeup style.

4. Merit Flush Balm (Stockholm)

This cream blush was my summer favorite and remains a staple in my routine. Gentle on sensitive, acne-prone skin, it’s both acne-safe and cruelty-free. One to two swipes are enough for a natural flush, and it can be easily built up for more intensity. Its blendable texture makes it perfect for no-makeup days, and it’s convenient to keep in a purse for quick touch-ups on the go.

Choosing the right blush depends on the desired look and skin type. Rotating these blushes allows for versatile, fresh, and radiant looks every day!
