Blush Makeup

Blush is one of our favorite makeup products. Even just a small dab of color on the cheeks can make you look (and feel!) more glowy, which is why we made our talc free blush in 10 different shades. Find the perfect color of clean blush and experience the full-day wear, radiant finish, and soft, matte finish.

Here’s why you’ll love mineral blush: First, our powder blush ideal for all skin types. Next, it’s derm-approved and tested. And lastly, our loose powder blush is formulated without any binders, filler, or talc so you can feel good about putting it on your skin. And let’s be real, the vibrant, healthy-looking color it adds is pretty great, too.

Most days, we want a touch of pink and a healthy sun-kissed look on our face–so we created a bronzer blush that delivers both at once. Our clean bronzer leaves a luminous finish that mimics your skin’s natural radiance after a day in the sun, with a talc-free formula. This cruelty free blush bronzer duo is a great time-saving hack–and comes in three stunning shades.

To apply blush, smile to identify the "apples" of your cheeks. Using a blush brush, swirl it lightly in the blush, tap off any excess, and apply the color in light, circular motions on the apples of your cheeks, moving slightly upward toward your temples. Blend the blush gently for a natural, flushed appearance. It's best to start with a light application and build the color gradually for a more natural look.

Powder blushes are typically applied after face powder. It blends smoothly over a powdered base and can be built up to your desired intensity. If you do decide to use cream or liquid blush after your powder, make sure to apply them carefully to avoid patchy makeup.

Bronzer blush is a combination of bronzer and blush, providing a product that offers a sun-kissed, flushed effect. For a powder option, try Gen Nude Blonzer and for a liquid option, try Complexion Rescue Blonzer. They both will give an all-in-one blush and bronzer effect. They feature a mix of blush tones and bronzing shades in one compact/tube, allowing for a harmonious blend of color to add warmth and dimension to the cheeks. It's particularly suitable for those who want to add a sun-kissed glow while also achieving a subtle flush.

When applying bronzer and blush, start with bronzer to contour and add warmth to your face. Use a bronzer brush to apply bronzer to areas where the sun naturally hits, like the temples, cheekbones, and jawline. Then, apply blush as previously mentioned to the apples of your cheeks, slightly blending it with the bronzer to create a seamless, healthy flush.

Talc-free blush is important for those who may have sensitivity to talc, a common ingredient that can potentially irritate the skin. Talc-free formulas are gentler on the skin and can be beneficial for individuals with sensitive skin or those who prefer to avoid talc due to concerns about its effects on the skin.

The best blush color for you depends on your skin tone and undertone. For fair skin, lighter shades like soft pinks and peaches work well. Medium skin tones can opt for warmer shades like rose or coral. Deep skin tones are complemented by richer, more pigmented colors such as deep plums or reds. It's also essential to consider your undertone—cool undertones pair well with pink tones, while warm undertones complement peachy or bronze shades.

Blush can be worn anytime you want to add a healthy flush to your complexion. It's especially useful when your skin looks pale or dull, or when you want to add a touch of color to your face. Wear it during the day or evening, depending on your desired makeup look or to complement different styles.

The ideal blush shade should complement your natural skin tone and provide a healthy, natural flush. It's not about being dramatically darker or lighter than your skin but rather about choosing a color that harmonizes with your complexion. For a natural look, aim for a blush that is slightly darker than your natural flush but not excessively deep or bright. It should enhance your natural skin tone without overpowering it.
