Go bold or go home! That’s the summer trend, with blush anyway. Bright, beautiful blushes are gracing the runways and cheeks of the trendiest gals, and makeup companies are answering the call with a line of daring shades that will accentuate any complexion. Here are five bold blush colours to experiment and fall in love with. —Jennifer Cox

The Soft Pinch Liquid Blush from Rare Beauty ($33) is a weightless, long-lasting liquid blush that blends and builds beautifully for a soft, healthy glow. It’s available in both matte and dewy finishes. It’s infused with long-lasting colour pigments for all-day wear. And the best part is, a little goes a long way. We love the pretty pop of colour called Hot Pink (Dewy).

NARS’ Blush Orgasm X ($32) is a bestseller for good reason – it’s both buildable and blendable, and delivers a weightless, natural-looking rush of cheek colour in matte, satin, and shimmering finishes. Superfine micronized powder pigments are easy to apply and deliver a natural wash of colour to every skin tone – a light swipe of even the highest-intensity hues deliver a natural-looking flush. 

When you want a blush with impact, turn to Sephora’s Colorful Blush ($19) in Hey Jealousy – deep berry pink. We love its superfine texture that offers buildable colour with just one swipe. Choose from both matte and shimmer finishes, depending on your mood. Any way you use it, you’ll love its strong hue.

If you’ve ever shied away from cream blush, this one will change your mind: the Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush from Fenty Beauty ($35) is a light-as-air non-greasy cream blush that easily melts into the skin for a kiss of colour. It’s not only easy to use but it’s also impossible to overdo. Choose from a pretty lineup of shades designed to enhance every complexion with a youthful glow.

Get great colour anywhere you go with NudeStix’s Beachy Nudes Mini Kit ($34). This unique collection was curated by Canadian beauty and lifestyle blogger, YouTuber Allana Davison. It’s made up of a three-piece beachy makeup kit that provides a healthy-looking, all-over summer glow. And you don’t have to just use it on your cheeks – it can also be worn for shading your eyelids and lips.
