Promising review: "I've been cutting back on my makeup routine lately, and having a multi-stick that doesn’t require brushes has been so convenient. I love how I can just swipe it on my cheeks and blend with my fingertips. It gives the cheeks a beautiful, natural flush. I don't notice any scent, which is a plus for me. I appreciate that this product is clean, and I feel great using it. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a gorgeous, well-crafted product that’s good for both the world and your skin." —Brittany0890

Mytour Shopping senior writer Emma Lord shares: "I tried it myself, and it was absolutely amazing to see how it adjusted to my skin's pH in real time. It started as a bright pink but was super easy to blend — kind of like Glossier's Cloud Paint, but made just for you. Plus, it lasts all day. I applied it in the morning and still had a rosy glow by evening."
Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this blush! It gives such a natural flush and is incredibly blendable and buildable. My skin stays hydrated, and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to powder blush again after trying this hydrating blush oil!!" —SQW

For someone like me who doesn't wear a lot of makeup, a tiny bit gives a surprising amount of coverage." —snw17

Check out this TikTok where a reviewer casually applies the blush while at a party (even on the couch!). You can also watch a laid-back makeup demo where the creator uses it on their lips for an added pop of color!
However, some reviewers note that this blush seems to work best for those with fair to medium skin tones due to the limited shade options available.
Promising reviews: "I tried a cream blush for the first time and I’m in love with the Fleur shade. It’s the perfect rose pink for light to olive skin tones. I was hesitant because I have sensitive skin and used to struggle with acne, so I usually avoid oil-based makeup products, but this didn't clog my pores and gave me a beautiful dewy finish. After researching many brands, I’m confident this was the best pick for its formulation, shade, price, and the adorable packaging! Plus, I love that the stick retracts to keep it neat!" —mär
"I adore this blush. I got the Juicy shade, and it looks stunning on my warm medium skin tone with dark brown hair and eyes. It gives my skin a natural, radiant glow. I recommend applying a little at first and building up the color as needed. Please don’t ever discontinue this blush, it’s my favorite!" —Nellie R.

This? I carry it with me everywhere, and to be honest, it’s the lip product I use more than any other. It’s basically my all-time favorite lip gloss, even though it’s technically just a glossy balm. I’m totally in love with Cocoa Drizzle (currently sold out) because it complements my skin so well, but you can’t go wrong with the invisible color or any of the other shades!
Promising reviews: "This is amazing! I bought the sheer pink shade, and it looks fantastic! I was skeptical at first, but it turned out great. It has the perfect non-sticky texture and feels so smooth. Some glosses I’ve tried can get patchy, but this one doesn’t!" —KitKatTheLime

Promising reviews: "I was skeptical about these Huesticks at first. I'm 34, of Sri Lankan descent (medium to deep tan skin), and I’ve never been great at makeup. I was excited to try them, especially since they were created by and endorsed by a fellow South Asian, but I worried it would look like I was actually wearing makeup. I was so pleasantly surprised after applying Rise under my eyes and around my mouth, blending with a BeautyBlender, then adding my usual cc cream and powder foundation. I couldn’t even tell I was wearing makeup. I even asked my boyfriend if he could spot the orange tint under my eyes before applying the cc cream, and he couldn’t! It really worked as a color corrector!" —Reviewer
"I adore this pencil. I’m fair and cool-toned and picked the peachy-pink shade. I’ve tried other rose-pink under-eye correctors and brighteners, but this peachy tone and the pencil’s texture are my absolute favorite. I just tap a little concealer over it, and it covers my dark circles beautifully. Will definitely repurchase!" —NickiName

Promising review: "Amazing! It gives such a natural flush to my ultra fair skin, which is difficult to find since everything else shows up almost comically brightly on my face. It’s blendable and not too heavy. Perfect for no-makeup makeup days, I’ve even started skipping contour now that I have this. I really hope this is never discontinued because it is MAGIC." —Bare Back

Highlighted review: "I'm a lazy makeup wearer, L-A-Z-Y. I have a ton of blushes but rarely use them. I wanted something fast (no brush required). I got this in Beam, and I love it — it's bright, cheerful, and a little peach-orange. Perfect for summer, and so easy to apply. I definitely want more shades. If you're looking for something simple to add to your routine, grab this — it’s light, not overpowering, and it stays on from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m." —Mc K.
