If you want to embrace glowing, dewy skin this summer, investing in the best liquid blush is the key to achieving this look. While a fantastic powder blush or hydrating cream tint certainly has a spot in your makeup bag, liquid blushes have surged in popularity, thanks to their ability to add a natural flush to your skin.
“Liquid blushes are so popular because they’re fresh and modern,” says celebrity makeup artist Sofia Schwarzkopf-Tilbury, whose clients include Bella Hadid and Salma Hayek. She adds, “Everyone loves that melting, dewy, natural-looking effect on the cheeks. I reach for my liquid blush whenever I’m trying to create a glazed, glowing, glass skin look, and I personally use them in my regular makeup routine daily. Powder and cream blushes are great when you want to create a more perfected, soft-focused effect ideal for weddings, red carpets, and events where you need to be picture-perfect!”
With so many new liquid blushes on the market, it’s hard to find the right one for your everyday routine. Whether you prefer a natural flush or powerful pigment, we looked through dozens of customer reviews and polled several ELLE Editors to find the 12 best liquid blushes that will help you achieve the glass skin of your dreams.
