Love a glossy, glass-skin finish without the stickiness? Look no further than this Pat McGrath stick blush

This easy to blend blush stick has a sheer, buildable formula and long-lasting colour payoff (The Independent)

You can’t beat a healthy flush of colour that comes from a brilliant blush. The right one can brighten your whole face and add a radiant glow. However, with thousands of products available in every format imaginable, from cream and gel to liquid and powder, it can be an overwhelming shopping experience.

Different blushers deliver different finishes, some are ultra-glowy and shimmery, others are matte and rich in pigment, while some can be sheer but buildable. If you prefer something more natural when adding colour to your complexion, we’ve found the best blush for you.

It’s a balm, gel-like texture that couldn’t be easier to blend, simply dab it with your fingers or a fluffy brush to diffuse the colour. As it’s in stick packaging, you can apply it directly to the skin, or load up a brush and dot it onto your face. Our beauty writer loves that the finish is a radiant, glossy glow, without any shimmer or stickiness, so it won’t highlight texture.

It comes in nine shades, ranging from peachy pink (our tester tried and tested the shade peach lotus) to a dusky rose, vibrant pink and berry red, and you can even use it on your lips too for a quick burst of colour.

We’re not the only ones who love it either, it was also featured in our guide to the best cream blushers and it received high praise.

“Key ingredients include shea butter, squalane, and passionfruit extract, so it’s supremely softening and hydrating. Our tester recently took this beauty staple on holiday and swore by it for lip and cheek radiance. We also love the pink and gold packaging and find this chic product a joy to apply,” they said.
