Blush is one of my favorite makeup products—it instantly brightens the face and adds a healthy glow.

Right now, I’m rotating between cream, liquid, and powder blushes. Here’s my honest take on the ones I’ve been using!

1. e.l.f. Putty Blush

This affordable option has a smooth texture, but I’ve noticed it isn’t as pigmented as I’d like. Most of the product tends to stay on the brush rather than transferring well onto the skin. It also seems to dry out faster than expected, which might be due to the packaging or formula.

2. Armani Beauty Blush

This blush is an absolute favorite and gets a 10/10 from me. It’s pigmented yet buildable, making it versatile for both everyday looks and full glam. The shade is flattering and blends beautifully, pairing especially well with liquid blushes for a radiant finish.

3. Juvia’s Place Liquid Blush

My go-to liquid blush that delivers amazing color payoff. The shade Pink Lady is a bold, bright pink, and just a small amount is enough for a fresh, vibrant look. I love it so much that I’m already planning to repurchase when it runs out.

4. Juvia’s Place Duo Powder Blush Palette

Powder blush has a special place in my routine, and this duo palette is a standout. Both shades are beautiful, but I especially like the bottom rosy-pink shade for its flattering, everyday finish. Like the liquid blush, it’s highly pigmented—so a light hand is best when applying.

Each blush brings something different to the table, from affordable everyday picks to luxurious formulas. While some are more pigmented or long-lasting than others, I love having a mix of cream, liquid, and powder options to fit different moods and looks!
