5 Peachy Coral Blushes You Should Try
Pink, berry, and nude/bronze blushes are all super cute, but can we have the coral blushes to the front please. There’s nothing quite like a stunning coral blush to compliment your glowy skin for a summer makeup look. On our socials we shared what you need to complete the look – here’s the list case you missed it:
Glowy skin - Nothing says summer makeup like a dewy complexion with some subtle shimmer on the collarbones and shoulders. The idea is for your skin to look as radiant as possible while the sun does the rest. A skin tint can also help you achieve this look without being as heavy as a foundation.
Pops of color - We can leave the dark and dull colors for winter. If there’s ever a time to add some vibrance and fun to your makeup, it’s summer. The natural makeup looks have definitely been winning, but sometimes a little color is all you need to take your look to the next level. It can be a subtle pop of color on your inner eye corner or you can go bold with color all over the lid. Just make it cute and sorry, a pink nude doesn’t count.
Glossy lips - Honestly, you can wear glossy lips all year round, BUT there’s something about glowy skin with a nice, shiny gloss that is unmatched. Lip oils are amazing too, just make sure those lips are glistening!
Peach/coral blush - A peach or coral blush just screams summer. It’s probably the warm hue that reminds people of sunshine and vacation in the tropics. Coral is also associated with feelings of optimism and happiness, much like what summer feels like for most of us. So, let’s get into some of our favorite coral blushes:
The NARS Powder Blush in the shade “Exhibit A” retails for $34. Technically this shade is a matte red, but hear me out. The way it applies is right in the same family as a coral and a little goes a long way. It’s super vibrant and can really tie a summer look together.
Sephora Collection - Fascinated
The Sephora Collection Colorful Blush in the shade “Fascinated” retails for $14. It’s described as an intense tangerine and has a shimmery finish. If you prefer a powder blush to a liquid formula, then this may be the coral blush for you. It has buildable coverage and the hue screams summer.
Elf Camo Liquid Blush - Coral Crush
The e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo Liquid Blush in the shade “Coral Crush” retails for $7. Obviously, one of the biggest pros of this blush is the price point - very pocket friendly! No shortage of pigment with this blush either and it blends so smoothly. It also has a hint of shimmer to give a little extra glow. Dare I say, it could be considered a dupe for the Rare Beauty blush.
The Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade “Joy” retails for $25. This shade is described as a dewy muted peach and it has pigment for days. A little goes a long way with this blush too, and if you’re fancy, you can mix your blush and concealer under the eye to really make it pop.
Patrick Ta Beauty - She’s Vibrant
The Patrick Ta Beauty Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo in the shade “She’s Vibrant” retails for $38. It’s a bright pinky coral that gives you options. You can use either the powder or cream, or you use both for an extra pigmented look. Whichever you decide, this blush will not disappoint.
