NUDESTIX$35.00Nudies All Over Face Matte Bronzershade · Sunkissed- “Right off the bat, this sits within their bronzer shade range, but the perfect terracotta tone with just enough rose in it makes it an ideal multitasker as a blush and bronzer on my fair, cool-toned skin, and even as an eyeshadow”▶ 0:45
- “I first discovered this healthy coral bronze shade back in 2019 and it still holds up today amongst far more terracotta choices out there at the moment”▶ 1:13
- “It had a bit of a resurgence in 2023 when it was part of Sofia Richie's wedding makeup look, but even in 2026 it's often sold out, so it's an old-school suntanned shade that keeps on shining”▶ 1:24
- “Very pigmented with a matte finish, so it has more lasting power than the dewy creams coming up later on, but it still feels nice and smooth”▶ 1:34
- “It's not a powdery or drying matte at all”▶ 1:43
Rhode$25.00Pocket Blush Buildable Hydrating Cream Blushshade · Toasted Teddy- “This was my first taste of the Pocket Blush formula and it is excellent and that's coming from a true cream blush addict”▶ 1:56
- “It's lightweight but ultra creamy with a satiny diffused finish”▶ 2:04
- “Not super dewy but not flat either”▶ 2:07
- “There's a nice sheen on the cheeks”▶ 2:10
- “It looks very healthy, natural and skin-like”▶ 2:12
- “Described as a bronze terracotta, this shade is punchy and pigmented a lot deeper and more red-toned than Sunkissed above”▶ 2:16
- “A few small dots or swipes is enough for me for a full flush but the formula is beautifully blendable and shears out easily so I promise it isn't scary”▶ 2:24
Tower 28 Beauty$20.00BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Dewy Cream Blushshade · Power Hour- “This was my first taste of Tower 28 a few years ago”▶ 2:41
- “A buildable blush that's meant to be another dewy cream but to me it's more of a satin matte once you blend it in”▶ 2:45
- “It's not as glowy as Road, nowhere near as glassy as some of the truly dewy selections ahead”▶ 2:51
- “Again, it's not a flat matte though”▶ 2:56
- “There is a touch of healthy glow to it but being closer to matte than super dewy means it does last well”▶ 2:57
- “A classic sun-kissed terracotta tone that's a little closer to Toasted Teddy than Nudestix Sunkissed”▶ 3:04
- “One of my favorite facts about Power Hour is that Gracie Abrams loves this shade and I swear she was wearing it at the show I went to in Australia last year”▶ 3:14
Trinny London$46.00Trinityshade · New York- “This Trinity multitasking stick for lips, cheeks and eyes launched last year and the shade New York is spot on for this color group”▶ 3:33
- “In fact, it's the closest shade to Toasted Teddy in this poll collection”▶ 3:41
- “This is a smooth cream described as a creamy matte, but I think it's slightly satiny”▶ 3:51
- “There's still some sheen in the light, good wear time, great color payoff, but still blends easily”▶ 3:55
- “It's double-ended with a rose gold highlighter at the other end, but I'm all about this ready chocolatey brown”▶ 4:02
Merit$30.00Flush Balm Cream Blushshade · Fox- “Merit Flush Balm in Fox is my favorite color in their now pretty broad Flush Balm family”▶ 4:18
- “It's called a warm taupe”▶ 4:24
- “I've always described it as a rosy terracotta, but you'll see in my final swatches at the end, there's almost a hint of peach brown to this compared to that red warmth of something like Toasted Teddy or Trinny London New York”▶ 4:26
- “This is easily one of the easiest blushes to use”▶ 4:39
- “It's designed to create a transparent veil of color”▶ 4:41
- “It's thin, sheer, balmy, buildable, leaving you with a lovely lit from within healthy glow”▶ 4:46
Saie$26.00Dew Blush Liquid Cream Blushshade · Spicy- “This is a water-based gel, or I'd call it a liquid blush, that's quite impactful and pigmented, so I only work with a small amount, but it sheers out and softens nicely”▶ 5:00
- “The texture feels smooth and suitably dewy as the name suggests”▶ 5:09
- “It isn't thick or sticky”▶ 5:13
- “This has a touch more warm brown to it”▶ 5:16
- “Still a pinch of red, but it's maybe even looking a bit orange-toned”▶ 5:18
Velatura Balm Dewy Lip and Cheek Stickshade · Cinnamon Bun- “This is called a rosewood tan, which first of all is my favorite new description for this group, but second of all, you can see it's a more rosy kind of sun-kissed tone”▶ 5:46
- “It's designed to be very sheer”▶ 5:57
- “I find it even more sheer than Merit Flush Balm, so it's the most approachable version of the color here”▶ 5:59
- “It has a gorgeous, glossy glow, really luminous and light-catching on the cheeks, but I find it lasts quite well for something so glassy because it's also designed to work on the lips”▶ 6:03
- “There's a tiny bit of grip and tack to it, but it isn't sticky when you pat and tap it into the skin”▶ 6:14
Haus Labs$34.00Color Fuse Longwear Hydrating Glassy Lip + Cheek Blush Balm Stickshade · Glassy Cayenne- “In short, I'm obsessed”
- “Love the soft dusty pink glassy ginger, but glassy cayenne is its spicier, deeper, more dramatic sibling”▶ 6:42
- “An excellent choice for a toasted teddy vibe, but it's less brown, more rosy to me”▶ 6:50
- “It's described by the brand as a deep rose”▶ 6:55
- “This is even more radiant than Lisa's Balatura Balm formula and creates more pigmented, creamy color, too”▶ 6:57
- “It shears out perfectly though for a halo of glow and a peppery sunburnt kiss of color that again lasts surprisingly well for something so glassy”▶ 7:04
- “A true caught the sun kind of looks like you've been on holiday, but you can stay safely under your big hat and SPF 50”▶ 7:13
