Best high street liquid blush
Why we love it: This offers up glow and a pretty flush in one hit for under a tenner.
GLAMOUR-approved: This fills two spots: blusher and highlighter and comes in six pretty shades to work across a range of skin tones. If you like more of a glazed, luminous finish this adds some sheeny shimmer that makes cheeks glow in the prettiest way.
Pros: One of the most affordable blushers we’ve tried.
Cons: It has some shimmer so avoid if you want a flat finish.
Customers are saying: This acts as a blush and highlighter and looks really pretty on cheeks. It dries quickly and won’t budge so you have to work fast.
Best liquid blush for a fresh finish
Why we love it: The four shades work beautifully across a range of skin tones and give a pretty fresh effect.
GLAMOUR-approved: This has no-makeup makeup days written all over it. It works perfectly over bare skin for off-duty days or blended on top of makeup. Don’t be put off by the colours on the tube, blended into skin they’re stunning and although there’s only four shades, they work beautifully across a range of skin tones. It gives a glossier, more luminous finish than other liquid blushes but it doesn’t feel sticky and slide around.
Pros: The shades are beautiful.
Cons: It fades a little by the end of the day.
Customers are saying: Pretty colours, goes on smoothly, the staying power isn’t as strong as other liquid blushes.
Best sheer liquid blush
Why we love it: This gives glazed cheeks in one hit.
GLAMOUR-approved: This is definitely the most subtle of all the blushes we tried. It has more of a watery consistency, which sheers the shades out, but also gives a super dewy glossy-glazed finish. The six shades have stretch and can work across a range of skin tones. There’s an ultra natural-looking brown-toned nude, peppy pink and stunning berry and depending on the finish you want, you can build the colour up.
Pros: It’s buildable.
Cons: The pigment is not as strong as other liquid blushes (but that’s sort of the point).
Customers are saying: Gives a very natural finish, goes on smoothly, feels lightweight and doesn’t look “overdone”.
Best liquid-gel blush
Why we love it: The shade selection is small but curated and the pigment allows you to tailor the finish to you.
GLAMOUR-approved: This blends seamlessly with skin to give a buildable hint or hit of colour that looks fresh, natural and pretty. The gel-like consistency glides on beautifully, while the hydrating hyaluronic acid infused in the formula sheers the colour out and gives a gorgeous dewy finish. You can even pat it into my lips. There’s four shades to choose from and while some of them (like ruby red, Fly) look a little intimidating from the packaging, they’re so flattering on.
