As we headed into the New Year I have hopes we’ll see more glowy, radiant blushes for Spring. I’m really, really into blushes that act not only to add color to cheeks but glow as well! I love hybrid blush highlighter formula since I SUCK at applying highlighter correctly. I dunno if it’s the shape of my face, if I’m too heavy-handed, or I’m just not putting it in the right place but I always look like a disco ball after applying it. You know how people are always saying they want to be able to see their highlighter from the moon? Well, in my case you probably can!
Speaking of blush slash highlighters two such formulas that make my Best Blushes of 2024 hit list!
First up we have the Fenty Beauty Hot Cheeks Velour Blushlighter. How I WISH they would introduce new shades in this formula. I loved this blush! The colors, the formula, and of course, the beautiful glow it gives to your cheeks! They got some rather poor reviews but I thought these blushes were amazing!

Another fantastic blush slash highlighter is the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush. I was convinced I’d hate this formula for some reason but I was so pleasantly surprised. It’s stunning! My fav shade is Joy which is the most perfect golden apricot! The formula is light, soft, and silky and the pigment is just right on the dot and the glow, well, the glow speaks for itself in my pictures below!

Another fantastic radiant blush pick is RMS Beauty ReDimension Hydra Powder Blush. I’m cheating I know as these technically weren’t released in 2024 but they remain a very popular product with me. I absolutely adore this formula. It’s dense yet soft and silky and gives cheeks the most wonderful radiant finish! Truly if you want that perfect glow these will give it to you!
If you want radiant or if you want matte you don’t have to choose as the NYX Buttermelt Blush gets you the best of both finishes. These gorgeous blushes are available in the finish of your choice and are a standout drugstore blush pick for me in 2024. They’re dense yet soft and easy to apply with an airbrushed finish! I loved the radiant finish that gives that I just applied highlighter glow!

And finally, last but never least, the About-Face Blush Rush Fluid Blush is absolutely top of my list of best blushes of 2024! No, it doesn’t have a radiant finish but it does give cheeks a fresh, natural hit of color that brightens up your entire complexion not to mention the formula is lightweight, creamy, and oh so easy to blend! I don’t see nearly enough raves about this formula!
What are your best blushes of 2024? Do share them! I’d love to hear what you loved this past year!
