Over the last few years, we’ve seen dozens of smartened-up new products hitting the market, which promise to do all of the above—and then some. According to Marc Reagan, director of global education, artistry, and events at Hourglass, there’s a reason why these types of products have become so popular. “Cream formulas help the skin look fresh and hydrated,” he says. “Plus, the colors tend to be a little clearer and have subtle transparency when they are applied, which prevents rich colors from looking milky or grey on the skin.”
As someone with dry skin, I am always on the hunt for the best cream blush to keep my complexion looking naturally radiant.

I’ve long considered this blush as one of my desert island products. It packs a major punch, color-wise, but is easily blendable so that by the time I’m done swirling it onto fingertips, I look naturally sun-kissed. Thanks to this ability to melt seamlessly into skin, each shade in the collection works beautifully on a range of skin tones.
