Summer is in full swing, which means we’re officially swapping out our spring makeup for those lighter and full of hydration. Hello cream based products! If you want to master the on-trend dewy look this summer, these blushes will be your new best friend. From highlighter duos to tints, here are our favorite new cream blushes.
beyond basic
Charlotte Tilbury Beach Stick
$45 at CharlotteTilbury
As huge fans of not only the legendary makeup artist, Charlotte Tilbury, but also her amazingly easy-to-use products, we had to include her beach sticks. The cream-turned-balm formula contains a mix of smoothing ceramidone, glowing pigments and light-diffusing spheres. The ceramidone plumps and refills skin acting like a poly-filler, while the glowing pigments and light-diffusing spheres give you luminious, soft-focused skin, for the perfect fresh summer look. They can be applied directly to the cheek or lips or with your finger dabbing on the desired amount for a light, lit from within glow.

The Body Shop Honey Bronze Highlighting Dome
$16 at TheBodyShop
This small sphere pot highlights and bronzes all in one. And who doesn’t want bronzy, luminous skin in the summer? This Body Shop Dome has a creamy lightweight texture that provides the perfect soft flush, while emitting a sweet honey fragrance. We suggest taking your pointer and middle finger and stroking it on to your cheek bones where the natural sun would hit.
Glow Seekers
Wander Beauty On-The-Go-Blush & Illuminator
$35 at QVC
We love a good cream-to-powder formula, and this luxury cream blush-highlighter duo stick is a favorite. The blush is mega-hydrating which means it won’t flake once it dries into it’s powder counter part. As for the highlighter end, the soft-focus illuminator contains ultra-fine pearlescent pigments that reflect light. This duo stick will give you the perfect gleaming flush and in handy on-the-go packaging. Available in two shades.
Bright beauties
Burberry Lip & Cheek Bloom
$30 at Burberry
You may not want to touch and alter these gorgeous little glass pots. However, they are just as aesthetically appealing on your lips and cheeks as they are in their Burberry branded pot. The velvety textured blushes are easy to apply using your fingers, with either just a light swipe onto your cheek or dab on to your lips. You’re bound to find your color match from the varying soft shade of Rose to the vibrant Poppy.
Flattering Flush
Rimmel Stay Blushed Liquid Cheek Tint
$2.97 at Walmart
This Rimmel tint is a cream matte formula that stays put and blends in easily to the rest of your makeup. The incredibly fine texture makes it easy to build to your desired color, or to keep light and minimal. It can be applied with a brush or lightly patted on to your cheeks for a small burst of radiance every girl craves during the sunny summer months.
