Best Blush in 2016

best-blush

I thought I’d do a round of some of the best blush formulas form 2016. For me, the year of blush was was Spring 2014 which was when Clinique launched their delightful Cheek Pop Blush! If you haven’t tried those, please do, you won’t regret the purchase.

But I digress, blush in 2016 wasn’t exactly slacking either. There were a great deal of fantastic formulas that launched which impressed me from a variety of great brands like Becca, Essence, and It Cosmetics.

Here are a few of my favorite blushes from 2016.

Urban Decay Quick Fix Hydra-Charged Complexion Prep Priming Spray ($31) is a new post-cleanse facial mist hat promises to visibly reduce pores, brighten and smooth skin while replacing lost moisture. As a facial mist junkie I felt absolutely compelled and excited to try this but also a little wary because I disliked Urban Decay’s B6 Vitamin-Infused Complexion Prep Spray.

It’s both an interesting and disappointing product.

Delectable The Everything Balm is a new multi-tasking moisturizing beauty balm that can be used in any number of ways or according to Cake Beauty it can be used in 21+ different ways. I happen to be a live and die fan of Smith’s Rosebud Salve and I pretty much use that for just about everything and anything. But I’m not averse to cheating on my favorite products and I decided to do just that with the Everything Balm from Delectable by Cake Beauty.

I love, love, love products that multitask and this little tube of balm does everything and does it well.

You need it.
