The 12 Best Cream Blushes for a Dewy Flush

Kosas Cosmetics Blush Intensities ($34 each)

Fans of the clean beauty brand’s blushes will love their new Blush Intensities, essentially punched-up versions of the classics. Our favorite? 8th Muse, pictured, which pairs a flattering fuchsia with a glow-enhancing rose-meets-pearl. 

Chantecaille Aqua Blush ($44)

All three shades of this innovative cooling blush lets skin come alive without any extra weight. Plus, because it’s powered by water, the color is sheer and buildable, perfect for the blush beginner.

Clé de Peau Cream Blush ($60)

Lighter than air and super easy to blend thanks to hydrating argan oil, this whipped blush not only gives the most believable flush to skin with next to no shimmer, but blurs the look of pores too. 

Decorté Cream Blush ($35)

Translucent pearls keep this soft crème blush from dulling or falling flat; natural botanical extracts keep skin from drying out.

NARS Multiple in Orgasm ($39)

A must for the traveler, this portable blush is creamier than the original powder—it can also be used on the cheeks, lids and lips—but delivers the same lit-from-within flush we love.

Stila Convertible Color in Peony ($25)

Every blush connoisseur has this original cream blush in their kits for a reason: it feels weightless, sinks right in without looking cakey and lasts ALL day long.

Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush ($8)

This user-friendly blush can be applied with a brush, sponge or fingertips for an easy, sun-kissed flush without hurting your wallet.

Wander Beauty On-The-Glow Blush and Illuminator ($42)

Available in three complexion-perfecting shades, skin-brightening vitamins C and E work overtime in this two-in-one illuminator that works both on the surface and beneath.

Shiseido Minimalist Whipped Powder Blush ($29)

The name may suggest otherwise, but this blush boasts a mousse-like texture that dries down to a beautiful, soft-matte finish.

Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate Cheeks ($80)

Whether you blend the two skin-enhancing hues together or use the peachy tint on the apples of your cheeks and the petal hue on top to add dimension, this multi-use two-in-one palette is worth the investment.

Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Colour Balm ($25)

Boasting an oil-free formula packed with clean, effective ingredients, this point-and-paint stick ensures glowy skin and zero breakouts. 

MILK Makeup Mini Lip + Cheek ($14)

Hydrating mango butter and avocado oil ensure skin stays taut and hydrated in this two-in-one stick.
