I have Ginger Pop and I love it- this makes me want Melon Pop, too! I love the Cheek Pops because they are as pretty in the pan as the are on the face. So cute! My off-list favorite is Becca Damselfly. That’s a great everyday go-to for me since it’s a little more muted.
The Cheek Pops have a lovely finish to them!
I also use Ginger Pop every dang day. I have very pale neutral to cool skin, and there is nothing that looks better.
Amazing list! xx
Thank you! 🙂
Make Up For Ever #410 HD Blush for a really bold color, and Butter London Honey Pie cream blush for a more subtle glow. Butter London’s makeup is excellent 🙂
Thanks for sharing your picks, Bea!
These are all so pretty — it’s a shame coral blush doesn’t look flattering on me!
Are there any coral-esque shades you wear at all?
I do wear Luminous Flush and Incandescent Electra from Hourglass’ Ambient Lighting Blush Palette, but I use a really light hand with them. Luminous Flush does have a lot of pink in it. Both are good for when I wear a warm pink lip color, which can look good on me. Colors that lean orange just tend to look really strange on my cheeks. I guess it’s because my undertones are so cool and my natural flush is kind of a purple/berry color. If I liked more dramatic looks on my cheeks, I might feel differently; but after all that work covering up my rosacea, I like to keep the drama on my eyes or lips instead of on my cheeks! I was also very round-faced and chubby-cheeked when younger, so I guess I still like to play up my eyes or lips instead for that reason, too. My eyes are kind of small and hooded and hidden behind my glasses, so they need all the help they can get; and my lips are actually quite nice and full for someone in my age group, so playing them up works well for that reason.
Love all the Clinique Cheek Pop blushes you listed. I also like Mac Sincere which is a coral-beige sheertone blush for my warm skin.
Oh, Sincere is nice!
Chanel blush has poor staying power. Nice and soft but they hardly last two hours in my experience. I like the Laura Gellar or Clinique’s peach pop. I really want to try one of those Balm blushes!
Wow, two hours! That’s really short-wearing! 🙁
Luckily, they hold up better than that for me or else they would not be on my recommendation list! Wish they worked well for you!
I love coralista by Benefit, I’m surprised it didn’t make the cut!
Almost but no cigar 🙂
Yep, my absolutely fave coral blush too! I’m in love with it!!
I have 2 drawers of blushes, and IT Pretty In Peony is the only one of two that can last all day and night long without a touch up on my blush-eating cheeks. Wish IT would come out with more colors
It would be great if they expanded their range!
Melon and Peach Pop are both soooo pretty, definitely my favorite Clinique Cheek Pops.
Yay!
Malice is on my wish list.
Awesome, Erin!
Summer, Love Lust and Papaya are all pure perfection! Oddly, I don’t own any of these listed. But my go-to’s for a coral cheek atm are Nyx Pinched (on me , it looks like Summer or Love Lust) or MAC Burnt Pepper for a deeper coral.
Burnt Pepper is great 🙂
I look terrible in darker pinky strawberry corals like Toile. But I love lighter, orangey corals and peaches. Melon Pop and Sleek Rose Gold are definitely top of my list. Sleek also makes a cantaloupe orange called Life’s a Peach, kind of similar to Melon Pop, also a fave. I think that’s actually all the corals I own! (I have MAC New Romance but that’s more of an orange orange at least on me). I really want Ginger Pop and MUG Romance.
Sleek’s Rose Gold is so fun. Really bright!
Oh, Christine, this post makes my heart sing and my wallet tremble. Amazing picks. Coral blushes are my absolute favorites. I find them to be the most flattering on me.
My favorites: My top favorites are Milani Rose Powder Blush in Coral Cove, MUFE HD Blush in 410 (Coral), and Sleek Blush in Life’s a Peach. Other favorites are Sleek Blush in Rose Gold, The Balm Instain in Toile, Too Faced Flush Blush in How Deep is Your Love, MIlani Rose Powder Blush in Blossomtime Rose (LE, still available on their website), and Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Bashful and Glisten.
Gotta love those MUFE HD blushes! 😀
Yay! I love corals! I only have theBalm Toile and Frat Boy from this list. I’ll have to check out the others.
Wow… Thats a real pretty list. I especially love Malice, the clinique cheek pops. Would like to add Mac Melba too in the list. Love it.
Just love the Sleek Rose Gold colour. I love the coral, peachy blush tones as well.
I have looked for Ginger Pop here, but it seems, or seemed, as I haven’t checked in a while, that they only have a few of the cheek pops. Makes me wonder, WHY??? Sorry for screaming 🙂
I hardly ever wear blush, but I was tempted into buying Nordic Angel and Greek Goddess by Fyrinnae, GG I think is the pinker of the two but they are both beautiful pink corals (and the only coral blushes I own except for a little sample of Orgasm I got in a NARS points perk on Sephora).
MUG Romance is so stunning, I’ve been wearing it tons since I got it. It has such a nice finish!
Loving this list Christine. I never thought to get both Peach Pop and Ginger Pop- but I might have to check ginger out! Coral blushes are my favorite.
Yay! Thank you for this list! My blush game needs to be stepped up! I have some nice pinks & plums but not enough peaches & corals. The 3 Clinique Cheek Pops really stand out to me. Time to give them a go! 😉
Hourglass Dim Infusion is a fave as is Incandescent Electra (although it can lean coral-orange in a soft way). Bobbi Brown’s Calypso 3-pan blush palette.is also nice.
Incandescent Electra is pretty!
I’m loving Frat Boy at the moment! It is the exact shade I blush, so it’s very flattering. Even my fiancé commented on it, said it looked really good, which is something!
Oh, that IS a flattering product then 😀
My two favorites-most worn coral blushes are sadly discontinued. They are Milani Mineral blushes in Luminous and Mai-tai. Fortunately, I have backups of both so I don’t need to find alternatives any time soon.
Oh no! 🙁
Illamasqua’s Sophie powder blush. I like the Becca one in the Afterglow palette, too.
Sophie looks gorgeous!
