A major key to looking young & fresh is a nice creamy blush. I’ve tested a lot of them over the years, and today I’m sharing my top 10 favorites that deliver that perfect glow!
Westman Atelier Cream Blush Stick: A luxe, skincare-infused cream blush that melts into the skin and gives the most beautiful dewy flush. I like the shades Warm Rose and Dusty Nude. 9.5/10.
Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cream Blush: A dewy, plumping liquid blush that gives that vacation-glow look without being overpowering. I like the shade Mauve. 8.75/10.
PAT McGRATH LABS Divine Cream Blush: A richly pigmented, creamy blush with a luxe finish that instantly gives my cheeks a hydrated, plump look. I like the shade Divine Rose Glow. 9.85/10.
Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush: A newer addition to my collection, but the shade RiRi really works some magic on my face. The formula is creamy without being too slippery and leaves just the right amount of dew. 8.95/10.
NUDESTIX Nudies Cream Blush Stick: My OG favorite cream blush, and for good reason. The formula is creamy without feeling heavy, gives the skin a radiant, dewy finish, and is so pigmented that a little goes a long way. The shades are perfect—Bohemian Rose is my go-to. 10/10.
Jones Road Miracle Balm: Another newer addition to my collection and a great option for more mature skin. The texture is very creamy, so I just tap on a tiny amount with my finger and blend it out with a brush. It gives the skin a lasting, slightly iridescent glow—I like Flushed Cheeks. 8.5/10.
Rhode Pocket Blush: I honestly resisted this one for the longest time, but it turned out to be such a good all-in-one product when you find the right shade. I love dabbing a little on the cheeks and a little on the lips à la Hailey—it gives the prettiest, effortless flush. Sleepy Girl is my favorite. 8.5/10.
Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Cream Blush: A clean, luminous blush that blends into the skin like skincare and leaves a healthy, radiant glow. True to its name, it makes you look like you’ve just come back from a day at the beach. Office Hours and Dream Hour are my go-to shades. 9/10.
Tarte Maracuja Juicy Blush: Another OG favorite of mine—I used the shade Big Ego for years (not sure if they still make that one). The formula is super dewy, perfect for when I want to look extra amphibious. Lately, I’ve been loving the shade Rose. 9.85/10.
MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush: A second-skin blush that delivers the perfect sheer, dewy flush. If I’m being honest, I wish the formula were a bit creamier, but the shades make it worth it. Rouge Red gives that fresh, youthful flush I love, and Stockholm is another favorite. 8/10.
