$10, Maybelline
If you’re heavy-handed with your blush and, as a result, can never seem to get it to look quite right, Maybelline’s Dream Bouncy Blush is your solution. With ten sheer shades to choose from—there’s everything from baby pink Rose Petal to vibrant coral Hot Tamale—this is one cheek flush that can’t go wrong because you control the intensity of the colour. We like the warm, fresh hue of Peach Satin. Simply blend a small amount of the gel-like formula onto the apples of your cheeks with your fingertips and rub it in—add more blush for a deeper glow. And the coolest part: the blush’s bouncy texture smooths on lightly, like a powder, and then melts into your skin, like a cream. Non-comedogenic, dermatologist and allergy tested, this is one face product everyone can wear with confidence and ease.
