4 Pink Blushes That Will Outlast Any Trend

Whether you have a fair, medium, or dark skin tone, a pink blush brings out the girly girl in you. Pinkish rosy cheeks make you look more youthful and sexy at the same time.

But pink is one of those colors, much like the color red, that’s very easy for it to look cheap if it’s not the right formula, shade, undertone, or hue. That means you can’t half-ass it.

Trust me, instead of settling for a low-quality, possibly patchy-looking pink blush, you’re better off without it. You want to give ‘the young and the restless’ vibes and not that you’ve been playing with someone else’s makeup vibes.

While I can swear by a sea of options when it comes to peach blushes, coral, purple, and even red blushes, my pink blush recommendations are limited. It’s because not many brands can pull it off.

Before diving in though, here’s what to keep in mind when it comes to picking a pink blush for your skin tone. Just like it is with any other blush color, the perfect formula lies in the undertones.

Pink blushes can be neutral, cool, and warm. If you have fair skin, go for pink blushes with cool or neutral undertones. And if you have medium and deep skin tones with warm undertones, go for pinks with warm undertones that lean towards peach.

Best Pink Blushes

1. Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in 001 Pink

Well, I think we all know that this is the blush that started the pink blush trend. It’s basically why we’re here. But if you can look past the price tag, here’s why you’re going to love it. First off, this is a compact powder formula with a very seamless texture, making it super easy to blend away with a brush. No fallouts, patchiness, no harsh lines whatsoever!

It’s a cool pink, which is better if you have a fair skin tone with cool/neutral undertones. For deeper skin tones, the color won’t be as flattering. Lastly, the color pigmentation is not impressive in this one. You need to really build it up. But that’s also why it looks natural on light skin. You can’t overdo it. It’s the perfect baby pink blush with just the right amount of glowy finish.

Finish: Natural
Size: 0.15 oz/4.4 gr
Good To Know: Paraben-free

2. Too Faced Cloud Crush Blurring Blush in Candy Clouds & Watermelon Rain

I absolutely love Too Faced’s blushes. I never throw them out or gift them. I use them up every single time because they never disappoint. They have the perfect balance of blendability and color payoff. That’s why you put down the color on the cheeks and swirl and swirl using your brush without ending up looking like a clown.

Plus, the unique formula has a blurring effect on the skin, which creates this seamless flush on the cheeks whether you wear foundation or not. It’s pigmented and the shade is on the cool side. So this is also better for those with lighter skin tones. On the other hand, the shade Watermelon Rain is absolutely gorgeous for medium and deeper skin tones. It’s a bright pink, almost like fuchsia, and it’s richly pigmented too. So it pops up when you apply it even with a tan.

Finish: Natural
Size: 0.17 oz/4.82 gr
Good To Know: Paraben-free, vegan, cruelty-free

3. Armani Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in 53 Bold Pink

This exceeded my expectations both color and formula-wise. Armani has a liquid blush too that comes in a nice pink color. But cheek tints tend to be more pigmented and long-lasting. That’s why this looks better. It’s a matte pink with neutral undertones. I love it on my pale skin and when I’m tanned. So it’s very likely to work no matter your skin tone. This particular pink shade is very pigmented and doesn’t disappear as you apply it.

Contrary to most other liquid formulas, it spreads out evenly, distributing an even layer of pink all over your cheeks. The shade Bold Pink is for cool undertones and there’s no way around it. But there’s another pink shade named 62 Delicate Mauve. This is a muted pink that looks more elegant and classic. And it looks better on warm and neutral undertones. Whichever shade you go for, the liquid blush is incredibly thin and lightweight, making it a great blush choice for mature skin and a must-have if you like soft, no-makeup makeup looks.

Finish: Natural
Size: 0.4 oz/12 ml

4. Tarte Maracuja Juicy Shift Cream Blush in Big Ego

If you like your pink blush in cream form, you’re going to love this collection. This vibrant shade is a soft baby pink with a rich color payoff. It’s very intense and pigmented, which makes it great for creating bold looks. And because it’s a cream formula, it has this radiant, glowy finish. The wet, creamy formula is especially great for people with dry skin.

It’s infused with hydrating hyaluronic acid so that it doesn’t look dry on the skin. But at the same time, it can cause the product to move around a bit. Apply a very light layer of powder on top to set it in place to make your blush last longer and enjoy a day-long cheerful flush.

Finish: Radiant
Size: 0.12 oz/3.5 gr
Good To Know: Vegan, cruelty-free

So these are the best pink blushes you can get your hands on. I think you shouldn’t settle for cheap formulas when it comes to pink blush. Pink is a really dicey color and you can really tell when it’s low quality. So invest in a good option and thank me later.
