6 Gorgeous, Radiant Cream Blushes to Add to Your Makeup Collection

Depending on the season, our skin can range from very dry to very oily, and because of that, powder products do not mesh well with our faces. During the hot months, our makeup will flake off with our peeling skin, and in the summer, the powder might even make our skin produce more oil. But cream products, especially blush, have been a lifesaver. 

Cream formulas sit lightly on our skin, and most of the time, these products have ingredients that will benefit your skin. And we'll be honest—we think cream blushes just give the most flawless finish. 

Below, find six of our favorite cream blushes.

e.l.f. Cosmetics Luminous Putty Blush: $7

e.l.f. Cosmetics has quickly become one of our all-time favorite drugstore brands.

When we first started using makeup, we gravitated to e.l.f. solely because of its price, but over the past few years, they've upped their quality immensely, and this Luminous Putty Blush is one of the products that solidified their strong reputation.

This product has the creamiest texture of blush that you will probably ever feel, thanks to its argan oil and vitamin E ingredients. Plus, its description is entirely accurate—it quite literally melts into your skin for a natural, radiant finish.

Holika Holika Jelly Dough Blusher: $8.89

As people who prefer soft glam and natural makeup looks, K-beauty is our best friend. These products always give you an ethereal, you-but-better appearance. For example, this Holika Holika cream blush!

This blush is less opaque than the average cream blush, but we always appreciate that because it gives us the youthful, sunkissed cheeks we've dreamed about having. We also love that it has a jelly texture, which makes it easier to blend and provides a dewy finish.

 

Half Caked Candy Paint Cheek + Lip Tint: $10

If you have sensitive and acne-prone skin, consider buying Half Caked's cheek and lip tint. The Candy Paint Cheek and Lip Tint has no fragrance (one of the leading causes of skin irritation), alcohol, parabens and silicones. This blush also comes in 15 gorgeous shades for all skin tones, and if you don't prefer color and only want shine, they even have a clear salve to give you that glossy look.

 

about-face Cheek Freak Blush Balm: $18

We didn't know that makeup could be all-around grunge, but Halsey has done it for all the eccentric, alt-loving beauty lovers. This Cheek Freak Blush Balm comes in eight bold shaves, ranging from deep burgundy to bright lilac. The reviews rave over it for its buildable formula, which, in our opinion, gives it the perfect opportunity to be multipurpose. For example, give yourself a vibrant purple eye, balanced with a soft purple blush.

Halsey has also created this item with hyaluronic acid and meadowfoam seed oil to give you deep, "weightless" and "non-sticky" moisturization.

Rare Beauty Vulnerable Melting Cream Blush: $22

Everyone knows at this point—Selena Gomez is the queen of blush. We all love the Rare Beauty liquid blush, but we think the Stay Vulnerable Melting Blush might be even better.

Unlike her liquid blushes, the cream blush is much lighter on the skin, which is extremely important for us in the height of the summer. But this blush is also one of the only ones that not only do not break us out but also give us the appearance of smooth skin even when we have a pimple because of its blurring effect.

 

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush: $24

Fenty Beauty will never do us wrong, and that's why Rihanna's Cheeks Out Freestyle Blush was one of the most anticipated blushes to try.

This cream blush is the only one we've tried with a luxurious, velvety texture. It feels expensive when you wear it. Despite coming in a variety of crazy colors, like the electric violet and neon coral shades, it still looks flattering and, somehow, natural on our skin. This blush wasn't as glossy as the other ones, but that delivers a realistic, skin-like finish. And yes, it is actually sweat and water-resistant.
