Winter has its charm - cosy jumpers, hot chocolate, and those crisp morning walks. But let’s be honest, it also brings along a dull, flat version of our skin . When the temperature drops, so does our natural flush, leaving us desperately tapping on every highlighter and moisturiser in sight.
This is where blush becomes the hero of the season. A creamier formula, a soft sheen, and suddenly, you’ve got that fresh, healthy ‘I woke up like this,’ look, even if you snoozed five alarms.
If you’re looking to build your winter makeup stash, here are three blushes that promise to melt into your skin and bring life back to those cheeks.
1️. Face Glaze by Flossy Cosmetics, Rs- 899
Dewy and dreamy. Imagine a flattering glow that sits perfectly between blush and highlighter. That’s Face Glaze. The texture is buttery-soft, almost like you’re applying a light cream that blends in.
The blush has finely milled shimmer that gives your skin the iridescent glow, sans the streakiness, it adds a juicy wash of colour without settling into dry patches (a winter win!). Think minimal but glam for days where one swipe gives your skin radiance and the softest hint of colour.
Perfect for: Dewy skin lovers, concert enthusiasts, and anyone who wants to look alive on a Monday morning.
2️. Blur Pudding Matte Blush by Luxiora Cosmetics, Rs - 1,299
Creamy Comfort. With a name like ‘pudding,’ you already know this blush is going to feel delicious. It has a bouncy, smooth texture that gives your cheeks a natural pop of colour, like you’ve been drinking your eight glasses of water every day.
It’s buildable too, so whether you’re going for barely-there or full winter glam, it adapts beautifully. No streaks, no patchiness, just healthy-looking colour.
Perfect for: Chilly evenings out, when you want a little more drama but also that skin-like finish.
3. Balmy Babe Blush by ROS Beauty, Rs - 649
Dry winter skin? Balmy Babe has entered the chat. This beauty hydrates as it colours, making your cheeks look plump and fresh instead of flaky and dull.
