Cheeky Posh Cream Blush Stick, £39 | Victoria Beckham Beauty

Cream blush sticks are so easy to apply – you can use a brush, but we recommend dabbing them on with your finger or applying them straight from the bullet. This one from Victoria Beckham warms up on the skin, allowing for easy blending, and provides a soft-focus wash of colour to the cheeks. Plus, from cooler mauves to poppy reds, the shade range caters to all skin tones.

Cream Blush Cheek & Lip Colour, £27 | Rose Inc

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has nailed it with this finger-painting style pot. The formula is loaded with skin-loving and hydrating ingredients, including 100% plant-derived squalane, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. The colour packs a punch, and it can also be applied to the lips. Better yet, it comes in a refillable case.

Sunkisser Blush, £7.99 (was £9.99) | Maybelline

For a budget-friendly blush, we can’t fault Maybelline's Sunkisser. Using the doe-foot applicator, apply a few dots to the cheeks and blend into the skin for an easy, sun-kissed look. It’s also a vegan-friendly formula.

Cream Blush, £14 | Refy

Refy’s Cream Blush formula is like a gel-cream hybrid, so feels very light and hydrating on the skin. Overall, it’s a glowy finish that lets your natural skin shine through, but it can also be layered up for a more dramatic look.

The Blushy Lip & Cheek Tint, £30 | Sam Chapman x Beauty Pie

Sam Chapman is a big name in beauty, so it’s no wonder her limited-edition collaboration with Beauty Pie has practically sold out. The Lip & Cheek tint comes in one, universally flattering shade, and the formula is moisturising and sheer – so it only adds a subtle sheen to the cheeks. It also works just as well on the lips – ideal if you like the ‘clean girl’ look.

Flush Balm, £32 | Merit Beauty

Balmy, dewy and never cakey, Merit’s flush balm is everything we look for in a cream blush. Formulated with vitamin E to nourish the skin, it’s kind to more acne-prone complexions. On the skin, it gives you that lit-from-within look – which is why we also like to add some on the tip of the nose.

Cheek Gelée, £45 | Chantecaille

Chantecaille’s formula has the staying power of a powder or even a stain, but the freshness of a cream. To the touch, it’s more of a gel-cream emulsion, and the finish is lightweight with a pearly sheen. The brand is known for its gentle, sensitive skin-friendly ingredients, and this blush is no different: there are no parabens or phthalates, and it is free from potentially aggravating fragrances.
