Made You Blush

One of the easiest ways to get the look of love this Valentine's Day and everyday, is with blush. It's often overlooked and underrated.  In my view, it is the one product that makes your complexion come alive.There are many product options - cream, gel, powder, matte, shimmery, or luminous. You'll find some of the best in this pretty post.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush
An all natural and clean beauty brand, Westman Atelier offers this cream blush stick in nine colors. Shown here in Coquette. Vogue rates this as the best Blush Stick. Ships for free from...

Westman Atelier  

Jones Road Miracle Balm
This is Bobbi Brown's all clean beauty brand. It's also the blush that Vogue deemed the best for "mature skin." It's a wash of soft focus color. It comes in 13 shades. I want them all! But if I had to choose just one, it would be "Happy Hour" as seen in the bottom row.

Jones Road Beauty

Victoria Beckham Cheeky Posh

Blush Stick

This velvety blush provides luminous all day wear. Available in 7 shades. This line is clean beauty, which is a big plus.

Victoria Beckham or Bergdorf Goodman

Dior Backstage Glow Face Palette
I just love choices, and that's what you get with this pretty palette. You get four luminous shades to use as blush and/or highlighters. 

Sephora

Nars Cosmetics

Oh Behave!—a matte mauve pink that seems polite, but still surprises. Double up on this cheeky shade with Blush and Afterglow Liquid Blush. Blending a powder and a cream or liquid adds dimension and  a bit of glow.

Nars Cosmetics  or  Sephora

Saie Dew Blush
A blendable liquid flush of color. It's as if she was just a wee bit flushed. Love the sheer glow of this product. I have their luminous gel highlighter and love it. Oh! It's also clean beauty. Voted best Liquid blush by Vogue.

Saie Beauty   or  Sephora

Jardin Imaginaire

A limited-edition powder duo that pairs an intense matte blush and a pearlescent highlighter. Chanel's pigments are so full and true, one needs just a touch. That brush is great!

Chanel

Merit Beauty Flush Balm
Ms. Shop This absolutely loves this blush! It's a cruelty free, Allure Award winner, and all natural product, that's actually microfine powder. It's lightweight, buildable, and leaves a long lasting glow.

Merit Beauty  and Sephora

Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact

One of the blushes I like best in my collection.  Bobbi Brown is out of all colors. Neiman's has this beautiful Pink Quartz. Truly gorgoeous when blended all together. It can also play double duty as eyeshadows. 

Neiman Marcus

Nars The Multiple
This product in "orgasm" gets my vote for the prettiest blush. I love the creaminess and ease of use. As the name suggests, you can use this blush stick on your face, lips, and eyes. At the moment I have it on my cheeks and lips. It gives a nice sheen.

Nars Cosmetics

ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush

I have had mine for about 10 days now. LOVE it, and can't wait to select another color. It's light as air and very buildable. Not sparkly at all, but I love the soft sheen. It's filled with all natural skin loving ingredients. The best part that it's refillable! Sign up for their rewards membership, and get free shipping every order.

RMS Beauty

Cloud Paint Blush
Vogue states that this is the one products we all need for a healthy winter glow. It's super user friendly, and sheer.  Goof proof. Available in 11 shades.
