Why use blush makeup?

Blush, often referred to as rouge, is a staple in cosmetic kits used to imbue the cheeks with a rosy or sun-kissed hue, enhancing the skin’s natural color. Available in various formats—cream for a dewy look, powder for easy application and liquid for precision—blush helps to sculpt and define facial features while providing a healthy flush.

Diverse blush formulas for every skin type

Each blush type offers unique benefits for various skin types and makeup preferences.

Powder blush

Ideal for oily skin, powder blush helps absorb excess oil and provides a matte finish. It's perfect for those who prefer a traditional, easy-to-control application. Powder blush comes in various formulations to help you achieve a natural or matte appearance or to add a bit of shimmer to your cheeks.

Cream blush

Best for dry or mature skin, cream blush delivers moisture and creates a natural, dewy finish. It blends seamlessly, making it ideal for layering with other cream-based products. A little goes a long way with cream blush and can help you easily achieve dramatic color if desired.

Liquid blush

Known for its buildable qualities, liquid blush suits all skin types and offers lasting wear with a radiant finish. Like cream blush, liquid blush delivers richly pigmented, buildable color and hydration to cheeks.

Tips for choosing the best blush makeup for your skin tone and beauty goals

Whether aiming for a subtle daytime flush or a dramatic evening glow, understanding how to choose the right blush for your skin tone and beauty goals is crucial. Here are expert tips to guide you in finding the best blush makeup:

Identify your skin undertone

Knowing whether your undertone is warm, cool or neutral is the first step in selecting a blush that harmonizes with your skin. Warm undertones look great with peach and coral blushes, while cool undertones are flattered by pink and rose shades. Neutral undertones have the flexibility to experiment with both warm and cool blush colors.

Consider your skin type

For oily skin, powder blushes work best as they help absorb excess oil and maintain a matte finish throughout the day. Dry skin should opt for cream or liquid blushes that provide hydration and a dewy, glowing finish. Combination skin can benefit from gel blushes that balance a matte and dewy finish, adhering well without drying out the skin.

Match blush with your foundation

If you use a liquid foundation, a cream blush will blend more naturally. Conversely, if you use a powder foundation, stick with a powder blush to avoid caking.

Achieve your desired finish

Matte blushes are ideal for a sophisticated, subtle look and work well for day-to-day activities. Shimmer blushes add a radiant glow and are perfect for evenings or whenever you want a bit more sparkle. Sheer blushes offer a light wash of color for those who prefer a natural, barely-there look.
