Hi everyone! I hope your day is going beautifully!
Today I’m back with an updated version of my favorite blushes—the ones I constantly reach for and rotate depending on my mood and makeup vibe. As you’ll quickly notice, I clearly have a soft spot for pink tones. From airy powders to easy cream formulas, these are the blushes that never let me down.
1. Etude Lovely Cookie Blusher (02 Grapefruit Jelly)
This is my go-to powder blush when I want my look to last from morning to night. I usually dust it lightly over a cream blush to lock everything in place. The color is bold and playful, sitting somewhere between bubblegum and classic doll pink, so a gentle touch is key. I focus it right at the center of my cheeks to create that sweet, doll-like effect. Once applied, it stays vibrant all day without fading.
2. CLIO Air Whip Blush (04 Peach Crunch)
Whenever I’m in the mood for something soft and luminous, this blush is my first choice. The pigment is lighter compared to the others, making it perfect for a subtle wash of color. What I really love is the fine shimmer—it gives a natural glow without looking sparkly. The slight peach undertone helps it blend effortlessly with almost any lip color, which makes it incredibly versatile.
3. Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Blush (220 Pink Kiss)
I like tapping it on top to boost the color underneath without overpowering it. The shade leans toward a calm, reddish pink rather than a bright tone, which keeps the look balanced and elegant. It’s ideal for days when I want my makeup to feel polished but not too intense.
4. Merit Flush Balm (Stockholm)
This cream blush was practically glued to me all summer. It’s gentle, cruelty-free, and works beautifully for sensitive, breakout-prone skin. Just one or two swipes give a fresh, healthy flush, and it blends out effortlessly. I love using it on minimal makeup days, and it’s always in my bag for quick touch-ups when I’m out. Simple, reliable, and flattering—what more could I ask for?
Each of these blushes brings something different to the table, which is why I enjoy switching between them depending on the occasion. Whether I want a soft glow, a playful pop of color, or an easy everyday flush, these favorites always deliver. If you’re also a pink-blush lover, I hope this list gives you some inspiration for your next makeup pick!
