Best Natural Blushes for the Perfect Flush
Blush is back! (but really, was it ever out?)
The perfect way to brighten up your complexion or add a pop of color to the cheeks, blush can really make or break your entire makeup look.

With a range of formulas—from press powder blush to rich and buttery texture creams—and shades suited for all skin tones, these are the top natural blushes for a healthy glow that nourishes your skin while you wear it.

Best Natural Blush Overall
RMS Beauty - Lip2Cheek
Price: $36
Review: 4.8/5
A recyclable glass pot of blush gold!
With over 80+ five-star reviews on our site, this unique, organic blush from OG clean beauty brand RMS Beauty merges hydration with richly pigmented mineral ingredients for your most natural flush yet.
Crafted with nourishing ingredients—like coconut oil, cocoa butter, and shea butter—it applies like skincare and leaves skin feeling naturally dewy.
With ten luscious shades to choose from, including peachy corals, punchy pinks, and neutral nudes, it can be built up from a sheer wash of color to a more impactful stain that won't budge throughout the day or night (we recommend setting with powder for extra reassurance though).
The best part? Since the organic ingredients are pretty much good enough to eat, it's safe to wear as a conditioning lip tint.
We love using it on both cheeks and lips for a cohesive, monochromatic look that makes you look like you have it all together—even if your life says otherwise!
Best Natural Cream Blush
Kjaer Weis - Cream Blush Refill
Price: $32
Review: 4.8/5
A makeup artist-approved cream blush made with clean ingredients that really perform? Run, don't walk, to add to cart!
The crowd-pleasing line of refillable cream blushes from makeup artist-developed line Kjaer Weis elevates any makeup bag and redefines the clean luxury category.
Eleven vibrant shades, including rosy pinks, soft peaches, and deep berries, add a dewy touch of color that instantly melts into the skin.
The highly blendable and buildable formula is powered by certified organic oils like sweet almond and jojoba seed oil for a lightweight feel that meshes with skin rather than sitting on top of it.
Best applied with your fingers, simply warm the product between your fingertips and dab it across your cheeks, blending upwards for a lifting effect.
And because its formula is oh-so-clean, you can also dab it on lips and eyes—talk about a one-product wonder!
Best Natural Liquid Blush
Ere Perez - Beetroot Cheek & Lip Tint
Price: $29
Review: 4.4/5
You know how beets have a bright pink color that stains everything they touch? Well, this cheek tint is essentially that—minus the mess.
Taking a cue from the natural world, Australian clean makeup line Ere Perez utilized the pigment power of beetroot extract to create their effortless vegan stains.
Designed to be used on lips or cheeks and available in two vibrant shades— Fun , a bright fuchsia pink, and Joy , a bright cherry red—it provides a natural hint of color while nourishing skin with vitamins and antioxidants.
A base of rosehip oil ensures a smooth glide and easy blending with your fingers so you can build up to your desired flush.
And because it's a stain formula, it stays put for the whole day—no reapplying required.
Now that's a beet stain we can get behind!

Minori - Cream Blush in Orchid

This is for all you darker skin tone beauties out there!
Thanks to your darker pigment, you can be a bit more daring with your blush shades while still appearing naturally flushed.
We love this cream-to-powder blush from minimalist brand Minori in the shade Orchid for an everyday kiss of color.
Unlike some lighter shades, this deep, mauve-toned shade won't appear ashy on your skin tone—think of the perfect wine-stained tint but better!
And because it's a creamy formula, it will mesh with your skin effortlessly while delivering that desirable semi-matte sheen.

Finding that your favorite powder blushes aren't sitting quite right on your aging skin? Time to take a turn to the creamier side of things.
