Why We’re Loving Liquid Blushes Right Now.

Liquid blush has quietly become one of the most versatile products in our routines. It blends effortlessly, leaves a soft wash of colour on the cheeks, and gives that fresh, slightly translucent glow that feels modern and understated. The influence of Japanese and Korean blush trends, where colour is worn high on the cheeks or diffused across the nose, has also made liquid textures more sought after. They offer control, ease and a skin-like finish that powder blushes can’t quite replicate.

Here are some of the latest formulas we’re reaching for now.

These new liquid blushes deliver fresh, buildable colour and a natural glow that lasts all day.

Dior Forever Blush Soft Filter

Dior’s first-ever liquid blush brings together the lightness of a cream with the lasting comfort of a powder. Its airy, whipped texture blends seamlessly into the skin, creating a radiant matt finish with a soft blurring effect. Formulated with hyaluronic acid for all-day hydration, it leaves cheeks smooth, fresh and naturally flushed without ever feeling dry.

Hourglass Unreal Liquid Blush

With its serum-like texture and skincare-inspired formula, Hourglass’s Unreal Liquid Blush makes colour application effortless. The brand’s signature Unreal Lifting Complex smooths and plumps the skin, offering a fresh, luminous glow that lasts up to 12 hours. The precision dropper is a thoughtful touch, allowing perfect control over the amount you use, whether you prefer a subtle tint or a bolder wash of colour.

YSL Beauty Make Me Blush Liquid Blush

Designed for everyday wear, YSL Beauty’s Make Me Blush adds a soft, natural flush that instantly lifts the complexion. Its lightweight formula glides easily over bare skin or foundation without disrupting the makeup beneath. Buildable and blendable, it can be layered for more intensity while maintaining a smooth, comfortable feel throughout the day.

MAC Cosmetics Strobe Beam Liquid Blush

MAC takes its glow expertise a step further with Strobe Beam, a sheer liquid blush that enhances light and dimension. The water-based texture allows for easy layering and can be worn alone, mixed with foundation or applied on top for a radiant finish. Each shade, inspired by the tones of sunrise and sunset, delivers a fresh, luminous look that stays refined rather than glittery.

NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush

True to its name, NARS’ Afterglow Liquid Blush delivers a natural warmth that seems to come from within. Its silky texture melts effortlessly into the skin, leaving behind a soft, healthy flush. Enriched with sodium hyaluronate and vegan protein, the formula helps maintain hydration for up to eight hours while keeping the skin smooth and comfortable.

Benefit Benetint

Few products are as enduring as Benefit’s Benetint, the cult favourite now available in two new shades, raspberry and dark cherry. The sheer, blendable formula gives a lasting, rosy tint to both lips and cheeks, creating that effortless, just-bitten effect. Easy to apply and instantly flattering, it remains a makeup bag essential for good reason.
