It’s a beloved makeup product that’s widely used for adding a flattering kiss of color to your cheeks and enhancing your overall complexion.

What is Liquid Blush?
Liquid blush is a makeup product that adds a high-pigment pop of color to your face and cheeks for a healthy-looking, glowy flush. Thanks to the nature of the pigment-packed liquid formula, these blushes are typically long-lasting and ideal for building and layering color to your desired intensity. One of the big reasons they have taken off in popularity is because they are easy to use—liquid blush blends beautifully into your base foundation, cc cream or tinted moisturizer, and can be applied with your fingers or a blush brush to boost the look of your natural skin tone. Liquid blush come in a variety of finishes (e.g., matte, dewy, shimmery, pearlescent) and a range of colors to best complement your complexion—from pink, to peach, taupe, orange, red, and brown. Plus, these hydrating liquid formulas are great for those with oily, combination and dry skin.

Is Liquid Blush Better than Powder Blush?
When it comes to choosing liquid blush versus powder blush, it really comes down to personal preference. Many beauty lovers incorporate liquid blush formulas into their routines because they glide easily across the skin and deliver that luminous, dewy finish that resembles a natural flush. Plus, liquid blushes have incredible staying power. You may not even be thinking about it, but your cheeks see a lot of physical contact throughout the day—from holding your phone to your face, to taking off layers of clothing, or resting your head in your hands at your desk. All this action can lead to your blush disappearing long before the day’s end. We love our new Camo Liquid Blush because it’s lightweight, yet delivers long-lasting, high-pigment color to your cheeks—no fading or reapplication necessary over here! If you stan powder formulas and more of a matte finish, our OG powder blushes remain fan favorites (plus, they can be layered on top of our new liquid blush for a bolder look).
How To Make Your Blush Last All Day

Do You Put Liquid Blush Under or Over Foundation?
Doing your makeup is an artform—meaning, there isn’t a “wrong” way to apply liquid blush. You can apply liquid blush under or over your foundation—in fact, using different application techniques is a great way to create a range of looks using the same products. A win-win! For a more subtle flush, try applying your liquid blush first, then follow up with your favorite light coverage liquid foundation on top of it. This will let the liquid blush color shine through and give your complexion that gorgeous “blushing from within” look. Want a more noticeable blush color? Start with your liquid foundation as a base, then dab liquid blush on top of that for a more vibrant look. If you realize you took things a little too far and need to dial down your rosy hue, you can always blend it out with translucent finishing powder.
