Blush Showdown!

Rather than comparing formulas (because honestly, different textures shine for different moods), I wanted to share the two blushes that have completely stolen my heart lately.
Both apply beautifully, especially on dry skin, and give that soft, glowy finish I’m always chasing!
1. Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush — Shade: Encourage
This liquid blush is popular for a reason, and the shade Encourage looks gorgeous on warm-toned skin. Even though people say it’s super intense, I always find myself adding a little extra because I blend it out so well. The best part? It’s easy to control, build, and customize. Liquid formulas feel effortless, and this one gives that natural flush without patchiness. I’m already eyeing more shades because… how could I not?
2. Pat McGrath Divine Blush: Legendary Glow Colour Balm — Shade: Peach Lotus
This creamy blush caught my attention the moment I saw it glowing on someone. The formula is buttery, smooth, and melts into the skin like a dream—perfect for dry-skin who want a dewy cheek moment. It’s buildable, blends without tugging, and the shade Peach Lotus is such an easy everyday color. Honestly, it’s become one of my favorite grab-and-go blushes.
Both of these formulas bring something special—one gives a fresh, airy liquid glow, while the other adds soft, creamy radiance. They’re different, but equally beautiful depending on the look you’re going for. Let me know what blushes you’ve been loving too—I’m always ready to try more!
