All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.
Glossier Cloud Paints, £15
Best For: A Dewy Finish
Why We Love Them: There’s a lot of hype around these pigmented liquids – and for good reason. Easy to tap on with just your fingers, we’re obsessed with the sheer texture. Once applied, they sink in almost instantly, leaving behind a plumped, dewy sheen. They’re available in eight suits-all shades and they also blend together beautifully.

Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge, £23.50
Best For: Reliable Results
Why We Love It: A staple in many a make-up artist’s kit, this buildable formula goes from sheer to opaque in seconds, depending on how much you want to use. We recommend applying it with a brush, but you can also dab a little on with just your fingers for a healthy, subtle flush of colour. It’s great for mature skin types because it doesn’t sink into fine lines.

Bite Beauty Whipped Blusher, £30
Best For: Long-Lasting Colour
Why We Love It: Bite Beauty has finally arrived in the UK, and we can’t get enough. The vegan, cruelty-free line-up is vast, but we love this Whipped Blush most. Available in a squeezy tube, it’s portable and easy to apply. The satin-like texture quickly absorbs into the skin, leaving behind a dewy, fresh finish. We like all four shades, but ‘Watermelon Marg’ is a favourite.Â

Dior Stick Glow Limited Edition Blush Balm, £30
Best For: A Lightweight Texture
Why We Love It: Not only does this one delivers a beautiful glow, it also has an incredibly light texture that doesn’t dry down straight away, so you have time to subtly sculpt your skin. The formula is hydrating too, so you’ll find its silky-soft texture lends a second-skin finish you’ll love.Â

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush, £21
Best For: A Vast Shade Range
Why We Love It: There’s a reason this cream blush has won multiple awards. Not only is the shade range impressive, it’s also really versatile. Creamy in texture, apply it on the eyelids, lips and cheeks for a sheer flush that looks healthy and natural. The light-as-air, waterproof texture never feels tacky or heavy and it doesn’t settle into fine lines or crease as the day goes on. We love how universally flattering ‘Petal Poppin’ is.

Hourglass Vanish Blush Stick, £45
Best For: A Matte Dry Down
Why We Love It: These Vanish Blush Sticks are worth every penny. With a velvety, buildable texture, the cream-to-powder finish blends easily and lasts all day. Easy to apply with fingers or a brush, the colour leaves behind a ‘blurred’ effect – think of it like a light stain. Meanwhile, added emollients and protective antioxidants keep skin in check, with a hydrating finish that’s both smooth and silky. Try ‘Adore’ if you have darker skin and ‘Wonder’ – a soft peach – if your skin is lighter in tone.

Morphe Cream Blusher, £12
Best For: Boosting Hydration
Why We Love It: This gel-like blush comes added skincare benefits. Brimming with rosehip oil and vitamin E, it hydrates and provides a seamless, smooth blend. A little goes a long way – you only need a few drops, so be sure to build it up gradually. We love the shade ‘Subscribed’ for the kind of flush that looks like you’re fresh out of a facial. It does need topping up throughout the day – but given it costs £12 and will last you for months, it’s well worth trying. Tap it on with fingers, or using a buff brush to build up the colour.

Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush, $21
Best For: Rich Colour
Why We Love It: Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty line has just dropped in the UK and it’s smashed our expectations. One of our favourites has to be this Melting Blush, which is designed to mimic the natural flush in your skin. A liquid hybrid formula helps the texture melt into your skin, giving your cheeks a weightless wash of colour you’ll love. Despite being made up of nourishing oils, it’s never greasy or sticky, either. Here, fingers work best to really push the product into the skin.

Rose Inc Cream Blush, £23
Best For: On The Go
Why We Love It: With an in-built mirror, this handy, compact blusher is great for those on the go. We love how versatile it is – use it on your cheeks and lips for an instant hit of colour. It’s also easy to apply, thanks to its malleable texture which is smooth enough to blend out with fingers. Meanwhile, the hydrating formula uses squalane, vitamin E and ceramides to strengthen, hydrate and protect. Extra points got to the refillable tray – no wonder it’s sold out several times over.
