Reviewing Blusher Sticks Is a Personal Hobby of Mine—These 7 Give the Dewiest Finish

I'm not sure if I've ever really discussed my love for makeup in stick form. First, it was contour sticks. I couldn't believe how easy they were to use, and they left me looking sculpted like never before. Next came foundation sticks. Again, I loved how easy they were, and the seamless finish that they gave. However, my latest obsession? Blusher sticks.

Blusher is having a moment this summer, and I'm so here for it. In my opinion, blusher is the one makeup product that can truly transform your look. That being said, I've always found that it can be a little bit messy to apply, and the product itself doesn't always sit well on my skin. That was until I discovered blusher sticks.

What makes these products so great, I hear you ask? Not only are they simple to use, but the creamy formula is so easy to blend and looks super natural on the skin. Plus, you can throw this product in your bag and top up your makeup look while on the go. Oh, and did I mention that a lot of blusher sticks also double up as a lip product? Yep, forget carrying ten different makeup products in your bag, as a blusher stick can cover so many bases.

As a beauty editor, I have tried my fair share of blusher sticks over the years, from old favourites to new launches. In fact, I've tried so many that I like to think I've got the perfect edit of products to see you through any occasion.

What Does a Blusher Stick Do?

Before we get into my edit, you might be wondering what a blush stick actually does, and what makes it different from your regular blusher. As the name suggests, this products comes in a stick form, which means it usually has a creamy texture. Because of this, these blushers are great for those of you who have drier skin or prefer a dewy, radiant finish. In my opinion, they look a lot more natural than a powder blush.

How to Use a Blusher Stick

Thanks to the stick formula, these blushers are so easy to use. There are plenty of different ways to apply the product depending on what you prefer. I personally swipe the blusher stick straight onto my cheeks and blend the product in with a brush or my fingers. You can also dab your brush into the product before applying it to the skin if you want to have more control over the amount of product that you apply.
