The Best Blushers For Every Skin Tone & Type

Whether you want to add a subtle rosy flush to your cheeks or high intensity colour, you can’t go wrong with blusher. Instantly bringing radiance and definition to your base, having a good blusher to hand is a sure-fire way to achieve a healthy glow all year round. Thanks to its trending presence on TikTok (and everywhere else on the internet), blusher has had a serious upgrade from its simple powder form we all know and love. Available to haul in a wide variety of liquid, powder, and cream formulations, there is now a universally flattering blush for every skin type and skin tone. From blushers that complement darker complexions to ones that add warmth to fair skin, we’ve compiled a roundup of our favourite blushers that brighten and boost every complexion. 

If you’ve got an oily skin type, this By BEAUTY BAY Powder Blush is a great choice. Adding colour to your cheeks without contributing to any excess grease, this powder blush delivers a matte, buildable, and pigmented finish. Fairer skin types can rely on the shade Peachy for a light flush of colour that won’t wash them out.

Drop a burst of colour in your base routine with The Beauty Crop’s Juice Pot Lip & Cheek Tint. Ideal for skin in need of a moisture surge, this liquid to powder formula is both hydrating and kind to skin, thanks to its combination of vitamin E, elderberry, and bilberry. Its lightweight and moisturising texture means this blusher can also double up as a lint tint for all-over, rosy radiance.
