Those who use makeup will know that finding the right blush is not easy, especially with so many types of blush products on the market — like powder blush, cream blush, and liquid blush. What’s more, there are also different blush finishes and shades. The struggle is #real.
To make your search for the perfect blush easier, we’ve compiled a list of 16 best blush products you can buy in Singapore.

If you have a warm undertone, choose blush shades that are orange-based, such as a coral blush. Using shades that are too cool on warm-toned skin can make one look ashy.
On the other hand, those with cool undertones should choose berry — blue-based — or mauve shades. These shades compliment cool-toned skin the best and look more natural.
If you’re new to blush, try cream blushes first. Since they dry slower than liquid blushes, they can be easily wiped away when you make a mistake. What’s more, the texture of a cream blush makes it easy to control the amount of product you apply to your face.
