The 14 Best Cream Blushes to Wake Up Your Skin This Fall

For those who firmly believe the cheeks have it, a cream blush instantly transforms a dull, washed-out complexion into a healthy, glowing one.

“[It gives you] the most natural, non-cosmetic effect, adding an awoken quality to the skin,” says makeup artist Romy Soleimani, who likes to blend cream formulas into the apples of the cheeks with the heat of her fingertips when working with clients such as Natalie Portman, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Cara Delevingne. Also serving as a lighter-handed alternative to contouring, a sheer wash of melts-right-in rosy rouge will also sculpt the cheekbones with instant results.

Offered in a spectrum of fresh shades and chicly packaged with on-the-go ease in mind, the latest batch of cream blush formulas have got you covered wherever and whenever the weather cools.
