Thanks to It-girls Hailey Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Zara Larsson, blush is officially back. From Hailey’s glazed, sunkissed flush to Sabrina’s soft, doll-like rosy cheeks, blush has gone from your makeup bag’s side piece to number one.
It’s less about that bronzey glow now and more about playful pops of colour.
Whether you place it high on the cheekbones, across the nose, or on your temples; makeup is about being fun again.
The best part? There’s a formula for every finish and skin type.
From dewy creams to classic powders, here are all the options, and how to pick the right blush for you.
Cream Blush
If you love a natural, skin-like finish, cream blush is your go-to.
It melts into the skin, making it perfect for dry or normal skin types.
Liquid Blush
Liquid blushes are perfect for anyone chasing that “no-makeup makeup” glow.
Easy to apply and top up as the day goes on.
Stick Blush
Great for normal to dry skin, sticks are super beginner-friendly and tend to be a little more buildable and precise, so you can control placement easily; ideal if you’re after a lifted look.
Powder Blush
The classic for a reason. Powder blush works best for oily or combination skin, helping to absorb excess shine while delivering a smooth finish.
It layers beautifully over foundation and sets cream products underneath.
Pro tip: If you want to make your blush pop then layer a powder blush over a cream one!
Cream-to-Powder Blush
Can’t decide? This hybrid does both.
It goes on like a cream, so it blends effortlessly, but sets down to a soft, powdery finish.
It’s ideal for combination skin or anyone who wants the ease of a cream without the shine.
