I was using my Hourglass Ghost Quad for convenience because I was going back and forth between two houses (my mom’s and my own). And I just realized it’s four years old, lol.
I have several, but if I had to choose one it would be RMS Beauty Bohemian Girl….it is perfect for me, not to pink not too peach….just the blend of both , …… slight metallic but not glittery…
Same issue for me since I purchased a lot of blushes this year but most were released in prior years when I wasn’t purchasing. I believe that there are a couple from this year. This was the year of the blush for me so there are a lot!
Chanel Fantaisie de Chanel and Reflex
Fenty in Ri Ri, Strawberry Drip and Dacquiri Dip
Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks in shades Chouchette and Dou Dou
Kaer Weiss in shades Reverence and Abundance
Gucci in Radiant Pink, Rosy Beige and Soft Red
Rare Beauty in Virtue and Grateful although I love them all
Lethal Cosmetics in Blossom. I want Plan 9 really badly but can’t find it in secondary marketing and of course, it sold out immediately. It has been gone for quite a while. I contacted Lethal Cosmetics to see if they were going to restock and they aren’t. I did buy Kevin Aucoin Rosecliff which is a dupe but not exactly alike!
MAC Blushbaby and Burnt Pepper, Fenty Rose Latté, Benefit Crystah, PMG Labs Desert Orchid, plus EVERY shade in my Nars Afterglow Blush palette!
Phytosurgance Skin Spark Blush Balms
Haus Labs in hibiscus haze. That was this year, right??
Same! Love the color and the finish!
This is hard bc I love blush!
Purchased in 2023: Gucci True Pink, Patrick Ta She’s Giving & She’s Wanted, Too Faced Watermelon Reign, Haus Labs Dragon Fruit Daze
Older favorites: Gucci Rosy Beige & Silky Rose, Buxom Seychelles & Havana, Clinique Cheek Pop in Pink, Pansy, Pink Honey & Heather, Laura Mercier Ginger, Nars Impassioned, Mata Hari, Behave & Thrill
Haus Labs Color Fuse Blush in Lavender Blonde (Light Pink Purple).
Rare Beauty, Haus Labs and Westman Atelier formulas
Rediscovered: MAC Oh My Passion Pearlmatte Fruity Juicy
Rare Beauty liquid blushes in Virtue, Wisdom & Hope
Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blush Balm in It Girl
Tom Ford Wicked
MAC ED Hushed Tone
Released in 2022 and 2023, but my most used blushes of 2023 are the two blushes in the Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked Lustrous (a.k.a. the Elephant palette) and the Suqqu Pure color blushes in 139 Kafuu and 132 Momijigari. I bought a lot of great blushes this year so this was a tough race!
MAC x Whitney Houston Nippy’s Pink Rose Powder Blush; Lethal Cosmetics Magnetic Face Powders in Plan 9 and Cryostasis
That Whitney Houston Collection by MAC really did turn out to be lovely!
MAC Breath of Plum and MAC Dame.
The Hourglass “Ghost” palette (such a wide assortment of shades in one little quad!), Nabla “Truth,” and Teez Cosmetics in “Mauve” (it’s not mauve at all; it’s a burnt red).
That last one was a huge surprise to me—I got it in a beauty box assuming I’d pass it along to family or friends (I bought the box for a different product so the rest was superfluous), but I gave it a shot and it provided the most gorgeous natural sunburnt flush. I prefer a more rosy red for cold-weather looks right now, but all fall long I looked like I’m the sort of person who actually ventures outside. Thanks, blush!
Kaleidos Dreamwalk has probably been my most frequently-used blush this year. It goes so well with my skintone, and with all the cool-toned looks I’ve been doing. RdF Lust is also a contender for a favorite shade altogether.
I really leaned into glowy blushes this year! Some of my faves: Charlotte Tilbury Lightwands in Pinkgasm and Peachgasm; Rare Beauty Liquid Blush in Hope; BareMinerals Blonzer in Kiss of Pink; Nabla Skin Glazing in Independence
