Hi loves! Back again talking about one of my favorite makeup steps ever—blush.
Nothing brings a face to life quite like it. A good blush adds warmth, freshness, and that healthy pop of color that makes your makeup feel complete.
These are a few of my current go-to blushes that I keep reaching for again and again.
1. NARS Blush
This blush is iconic for a reason. The shade gives the most beautiful soft glow with just the right balance of pink and warmth. It applies smoothly, blends effortlessly, and can be built up without ever looking heavy. What I love most is how universally flattering it is—it works on so many skin tones and always gives that natural, radiant finish.
2. Rare Beauty Liquid Blush
Dry skin acting up? These picks lock moisture in, calm flakes, keep glow strong all day!
Thin lips bother you? Simple layers add shape fast, pout looks plump, soft, and natural!
Cool air calls color? Warm tones hug lips, cozy vibes show up, confidence stays strong!
Tired of basic black? Rich burgundy tones lift eyes, feel bold yet soft, and stand out fast!
Looking fresh without makeup? Simple essentials smooth skin, glow naturally, feel confident all day!
No time today? Two simple moves refresh skin, lift mood, and leave a glow fast!
This one has completely earned its hype. The formula is lightweight, long-lasting, and blends like a dream. A little goes a very long way, and it melts into the skin for the most natural-looking finish. I love that it comes in both matte and dewy options, so you can switch it up depending on your vibe.
3. Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush
This blush is definitely more of a splurge, but the payoff is stunning. The pigment shows up beautifully on my tan skin and gives the cheeks a fresh, lit-from-within flush. It truly looks like a natural glow rather than makeup sitting on the skin. It’s perfect for those days when you want your skin to look naturally rosy and healthy.
Blush will always be my favorite part of doing makeup—it instantly brings color and life back into the face. These three blushes never disappoint and work beautifully for different moods and looks.
