If natural, post-coital kind of flush is what you want, look no further than this original cheek and lip stain formula. Thanks to its brush applicator, all you need is to apply three dots on each cheek and blend with your fingertips. With a lightweight, liquid-gel texture, it disappears into skin, leaving behind only a sheer wash of colour that melds completely into the texture of the skin. This helps further enhance the natural effect of this product, instead of looking like a layer of makeup that sits on top of the skin.

If you’re a novice to liquid blushers and are nervous about streaky application, start with this foolproof one from Armani Beauty. Designed to give cheeks a watercolour-esque blush effect, this water-based liquid blush blends into skin seamlessly without any patchy or uneven effects. Thanks to its sheer coverage, you can wear it as a light veil of colour or layer two or three coats for added intensity.

Regardless whether you have oily skin and are prone to shine even on your cheeks, or have dry skin and can get dry patches especially around your cheeks, this should be your go-to blusher. Formulated with natural clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River, it regulates sebum and moisture levels to keep skin well-balanced. For those with oily skin, it controls excess sebum production and minimises the appearance of pores so makeup doesn’t slide. As for those with dry skin, the nutrient-rich clay also contains nourishing benefits to restore skin’s hydration levels so makeup never comes across looking uneven. Expect flawless wear for up to 12 hours, which can easily take you on a flight from Singapore to London.

With a whipped, mousse-like texture, it blends seamlessly into your skin with just your fingertips and doesn’t fade or streak at all, making it perfect for beginners. Thanks to its buildable pigments, it delicately colours your cheeks while remaining featherlight on your skin so it feels like you’re not wearing another layer of makeup at all. Best part, we love the velvety finish it imparts on your skin that’s part matte, part luminous—all while lasting eight hours.
