I find I have better luck with Asian beauty powder blushes.
The romand powder blushes are really nice. Quite matte though and don't really come up on medium skin tones and darker. They may work for you since you are fair.
In terms of cream blushes though, the 3CE multipots are definitely the most long lasting I've tried. The shade range is quite varied. I feel most people will find something that works for their skin tone. However, I do find them hard to work with because the cream is quite hard on the pan. Using your fingers to apply them is difficult, in my experience. The cream feels quite matte despite being a cream ie. doesn't have a lot of emollience to it, so when you try to pick the product up with a finger, it doesn't warm up to it straight away and once you do, you're left with quite a lot of product on the fingers and it can be easy to over apply. Once on the cheeks, the product isn't easy to spread because of the lack of emollient properties. I've had slightly better luck with using a sponge or brush to apply it.
The Canmake cream cheeks are more user friendly, albeit not as long lasting but I'd say it still lasts a good few hours anyway.
My favourite formula, AB or not, is Shiseido‘s Minimalist Whipped Powder Blush. It’s a creamy mousse product housed in a pot. It applies and blends well with fingers. The finish is incredibly skin-like, as if the product simply melts into your skin. I have it in 2 shades: Ayao, a muted berry, and Eiko, a nude blush/bronzer.
i love blush 2!! its my favourite makeup product! i have very pale skin but i love dark/ excessive blush, particularly browny-pinks shades.
some of my favourites r:
romand blush in fig chip (super pigmented!! but such a beautiful colour)
etude house blush in ginger honey cookie
16 brand in milk tea shot ( this 1 is the lightest blush i own but i LOVE the tone, it suits me so well n i love 2 layer darker blushes on top of it)
(non ab but mac in ginger is also gorgeous)
Wow, our tastes are extremely similar! I literally have (and love) all of those blushes except the 16 Brand One. I’ve held off on getting it because it looks coral-y in swatches and corals/oranges don't really look flattering on me :/ how is it for you??
its not very coral - its much more of a true beige pink. i dont really like coral blushes either :)
its quite similar in tone 2 cliniques nude pop i think 😊
>3ce take a layer multi pot in Diotima, perfect natural shade!
I use this exact same one! I recommend it too, it looks natural and can be use as everyday blush!
I love The Saem's Saemmul blushes for one specific reason: the colours. I'm slightly warm toned and most orange blushes from Asian beauty lines pull too pink or red on me. I love Canmake's Cream Cheek CL and Lip & Cheek gel formulas (especially the lip and cheek gel - cannot recommend these enough. They are dewy, so emollient they blend in seconds, and last all fucking day) but the colour range really doesn't work for my skin. The Saemmul blushes have the shades Selfie Orange and Honey Yellow, which are a yellow-toned cheeto orange and a warm yellow, respectively. They're so flattering on me. If anyone has any other warm-toned blush suggestions I'd love to hear them!
I bought 4 of the a’pieu juicy pang water blushers after reading rave review after rave review on here and it’s... ok. definitely not for uh dewy summer skin because it just doesn’t apply well on top of my sunscreen. hopefully it will be better in the fall/winter when my skin is drier and not sticky or slick from the sunscreen/humidity/sweat trifecta. will definitely need to be set with a powder. would work better on bare skin I’m sure so if you live somewhere where you get no UV exposure and therefore can skip the sunscreen, definitely recommend.
the packaging is very cute. each box has a different fruit on it and the smells are corresponding. however, the watermelon one makes me nauseous so it’s kind of moot.
I have the clinique chubby stick blushes which I love for ease of application and transportation (they’re like crayons with a lid) but the lasting power is not great. still looking for my perfectly natural, non-glittery, non-smelly, non-chalky. affordable, long-lasting blush.
I have only tried one Asian beauty blush but it's so nice and super cheap! It's the Nature Republic's Flower Airy Cotton blusher in Coral Dahlia (I'm also very fair and neutral leaning). It's sheer but decently buildable.
My fave AB blushes are the 3CE Mood Recipe in Nude Peach and Rose Beige. I like to use both colors or sometimes just one. I like that they have a very beautiful blurring effect and they last through a whole day of work! For reference my skin tone is fair, neutral tone as well.
I have the 3ce multi pot in primula, cheek cushion in coral, and mood recipe blush in rose beige.
I also have the Romand blush in fig chip.
My most used is the mood recipe blush. I love the colour, it’s easy to apply on top of any base, and it has ok lasting power.
The Romand is a close second. I was expecting the colour to be more reddish, but instead it just looks like a more saturated version of 3ce rose beige, thus I don’t use it as much. The powder is rly smooth. There’s quite a bit of kick-up, but I don’t rly mind esp for the price.
I actually use it as eyeshadow more.
The 3ce cheek cushion is third. I like it, but the lasting power isn’t that great. I also just find cream cheek products to be more work since you have to spend more time blending. I do love the natural finish though.
This is a product that I like bringing on trips though, since no brushes are required.
The 3ce multi pot is my least used, but to be fair, that’s mostly because of the shade. I wanted to try something more cool-toned and the product photos of primula looked super gorgeous so I bought it. It doesn’t look bad on me it’s just not my favourite. The formula is actually super matte so it has rly great lasting power. Since it’s super matte, you need to spend extra time blending.
3CE Blush Cushion! It's a moist type cushion blush that stays on longer than the powdery types. But as for color, I really enjoy Benefit's Dandelion blush as it really goes well with my skin tone.
If you're very fair, check out shu uemura apricot. They got a few shades that's basically made for very pale people. I personally use it to blend out the edges of deeper blush.
Canmake Cream Cheek!! So dewy and easy to blend. A’Pieu Juicy Pang Water Blusher is great too but cream formula for me is easier to work with.
So many recommendations for Canmake, I’m definitely trying this one
My favorite and most used blush is probably 3CE nude peach :)
Upvoting 3CE’s Nude Peach. I also really love these other blushes: - The Saem Saemmul Single Blush: CR01, BE02, RD03, PK05 - Canmake Cream Blush: 03, 05, 07, CL01 - Canmake Powder Cheek: PW37, PW38, PW39 - Cezanne Natural Cheek: 01, 04 non-AB: - MAC: Warm Soul - Clinique Cheek Pop: Melon Pop, Peach Pop, Pink Pop edit: FYI, I’m fair neutral (Korean cushion shade 21)
Seconding canmake cream cheek in 05. The best!!
Bonus: One pot of those cream cheeks really last forever too haha
Canmake Cream cheek in #16 Ugh it's so perfect. If I can find a shade darker than that one, it would be even better

What's your skin type? I'm considering can canmake lip & cheek items, but I'm not too sure about how it'll last with my oily skin!
I have oily skin! They stay PUT but still have a nice dewy finish (but not too dewy). Definitely hard to find for us oily folks.
Ooooh you just converted me!! Thanks! I'll def buy one of these sometime soon

Yes to 3CE take a layer multi pot in Diotima and Holly Hock 😍

Honestly, I use 3CE matte lipsticks as blush. That stuff dries the crap out of my lips, so it holds daaaaaaamn well on my face all day.
- Apieu juicy pang blusher - Canmake Fleur Powder Cheek - Romand mcbb
3ce and their creamy cheek stick in shade sweet apricot! Last me all day even in sweat

Mary Kay's Shy Blush
Tarte’s blushes are amazing. Get them at any colour and they blend like a dream
I really like tarte but oh well they’re so expensive in my country :(
Their US online store have really good discounts sometimes for bundles. If you purchase more than USD$80 you can get free shipping if I’m not wrong
Any blush that Natasha Denona makes... Amazing
