Want outdoorsy, healthy-looking skin? Try a peachy blush

The easiest way to look as if you've just emerged from a day at the peach (minus the actual beach) is with a peachy blush. From soft melon to deep coral, warm orange tones can do wonders for dull or tired looking skin. It's also the perfect shade to experiment with for summer – who doesn't want to look permanently sun kissed?

Whether you have fair skin or deep skin, prefer a cream or a powder, the RUSSH edit of the very best peach and coral blush shades for every complexion below.

 

Hermès Silky Powder Blush in Rose Abricot

Best for: Fair skin 

Ultra-fine and weightless, this powder combines sheer pigment with a subtle shimmer that reflects beautifully on the skin. 

 

Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Stick in Candy

 

Best for: Medium skin tones

Like the iconic Lip Glow, this creamy blush adapts to your skin tone for a custom peachy glow. The shade candy is a slightly warm pinky peach that's perfect for light to medium complexions.

 

Victoria Beckham Beauty Cheeky Posh Cream Blush Stick in Rollerskate

 

Best for: Combination and oily skin types 

Even though this is a creamy stick formula, it dries down to a velvety finish, making it perfect for combination to oily skin who don't want to default to powder. Rollerskate is also the perfect shade of melon.

 

Merit Beauty Fush Balm in Lusitano

 

Best for: Travel

Merit is makeup designed for busy women and this Flush Balm can literally be swept across the cheeks in the back of an Uber (plus, the solid format means no spills). Lusitano is a beautiful warm coral that delivers sheer pigment – perfect for a subtle finish.

 

CHANEL Les Beige Water Fresh Blush in Intense Coral

 

Best for: Dehydrated skin

This unique formula contains pigment pearls suspended in a watery liquid that burst when applied to the skin. It's super fresh and hydrating, while the Intense Coral shade serves up the ultimate shade of faux sunburn.

 

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush in Minette

 

Best for: Sensitive skin

Guccu Westman, the makeup artist behind Westman Atelier, actually suffers from rosacea and so all of her products are designed to calm and soothe reactive skin. Baby Cheeks is the ultimate middle ground formula; not too dewy, but still beautifully moisturising. Minette is a soft peach that flatters light to medium skin tones, too.

Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Joy

Best for: Intense pigment

This TokTok viral blush is loved for its intense pigment and long wear – just a few spots will refresh your entire complexion. Joy is a dewy muted peach with warm undertones for post-vacation skin.

 

Best for: Longevity

When a makeup artist develops makeup, you know it's going to be good. Patrick Ta's blush is a cult formula that comes with a cream and powder in one compact so you can layer for a custom finish. She's The Moment is the perfect golden peach to illuminte dull skin.

 

RMS Beauty Lip2Cheek in Smile

Best for: Using on the lips and cheeks

Lip2Cheek is such a versatile product. You can use it as a cream blush, lip tint or eye gloss, preferably all at once for a monochromatic peach makeup look. Expect skin so healthy it looks as if you just got out of a health retreat.

 

CHANEL No.1 de CHANEL Lip and Cheek Balm in Vibrant Coral

Best for: Dry skin

This formula is super pigmented and emollient, it almost doubles as a highlighter and lip gloss. Vibrant Coral is just that – vibrant. Perfect if you want a bold finish.

 

Kosas Blush is Life Powder in Thrill

Best for: Deep skin tones

This has a beautifully rich coral undertone that's incredible on deeper skin tones. Despite being a powder, it's buttery and weightless with a subtle golden shimmer.

 

 

Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Diffused Heat

Best for: An airbrushed finish

If you want a coral blush that doubles as a setting powder, Hourglass Ambient Light is the formula you need. Designed to mimic good light, it imparts a bright wash of colour as well as a blurring effect for filtered skin in real life.

 

Saie Beauty Dew Blush in Hottie

Best for: Olive skin tones

Creamy and pigment-dense, this formula is super easy to dot on and blend out with fingers. Hottie is a poppy shade of melon with plenty of warmth to illuminate olive complexions.

 

RHODE Pocket Blush in Spicy Marg

Best for: A dewy finish

If there's one thing you can count on RHODE for, it's dewy skin. Pocket Blush serves this up in spades. Spicy Marg is an intense coral that's beautiful on the skin – not only does it deliver intense colour but a glassy finish, as well.
