  2. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Ciele blush & PROTECT SPF 50+ at 03:06 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Ciele$34.00
    • You want to be a little bit more soft, a little bit more natural, and maybe a little bit more beginner friendly3:00
    • You also have a bit more drier skin and you also want some additional sun protection because this bad boy has added SPF 50 in it3:07
    • These come in a really great variety of shades, they also have some really great neutrals too3:17
    • Bioti is probably one of my personal favorites because it's just a soft everyday wearable neutral blush3:24
    • These are highly pigmented, they blend really easy into the skin, they're not patchy, they're pretty long wearing3:28
    • If you want the utmost longevity out of the Ciele one then I would pair it with a powder blush on top just to lock it in and intensify it a bit more3:34
    • If you want to be really soft and you're not caring about it lasting for 18 hours a day then wear on its own and it's really beautiful3:43
    • The Ciele retails for $34 and is going to be the best option for more of a natural blush look
  3. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Caliray Blurry Blush at 04:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • You have a lot of texture and you have larger pores and you have oily skin3:58
    • You want the look of a blurring liquid blush then the only one to get is going to be the Caliray4:03
    • The blurring blushes are phenomenal like these are fantastic blushes4:13
    • These only retail for 25 bucks so they're right in line with the rare beauty price point which I think is great4:17
    • My only complaint if I had to point one out is the stopper on this product is a little messy and it does get a little gunky so just a forewarning be careful when you're opening this up because it can get a little messy and it can leak sometimes4:21
    • It really quite literally instantly filters my skin and gives me this flawless blurred look4:30
    • Great if you have larger pores or texture on your cheeks and or if you have oily skin and you're afraid of liquids because you're afraid of that combination not working well with your oily skin don't be afraid of this liquid formula from Caliray because it's one of the best4:41
  4. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Beauty Light Wand at 05:11 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's $44. But when I tell you when you get the blend of this right, you'll want to wear this on your face every single day5:03
    • If you apply this on top of freshly applied foundation or just makeup that not set with any powder yet then you are going to love this formula5:17
    • This is the best glowy liquid blush at Sephora, hands down5:36
  5. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed at 06:22 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Danessa Myricks does not offer anything that's not pro-performance and pro-level. This blush is no exception6:11
    • These are pro-pigmented. Pro in term of like longevity, pro in terms of performance and how they blend onto the skin6:23
    • Less is more with this one6:29
    • I think this is most universally friendly for all skin types as well6:33
    • It's also budget friendly too. Like $27 for an incredible cream blush is not bad6:37
    • Danessa has some of the most beautiful shades. One of my favorites is It Girl. It's this hot pink right here6:43
    • Rosé Latte is my other favorite. It's of a neutral earth tone so stunning on6:48
    • She also makes some beautiful highlighters in the same formula they're outstanding
    • You cannot go wrong with the Danessa Myricks cream blush if you pick this up it's going to last your lifetime
    • If you're a pro makeup artist these are really honestly ones you should definitely keep in your kit
  6. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Matte Bouncy Blush at 07:34 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • These are like an interesting hybrid between a cream blush but they dry down and they have this really awesome self-setting aspect to them7:11
    • If you have larger pores on your cheeks or a lot of skin texture and you want to use a cream blush but you don't want that cream blush to magnify it and look too greasy on your skin then this is absolutely the one to check out7:16
    • It's 27, it's not gonna break the bank, it's a really great price point7:34
    • One of my favorite ones I picked up recently is the shade Spirited7:38
    • They're long lasting, they layer incredibly well underneath, use a powder blush for extra longevity
    • On their own they last a pretty decent time because they do self-set and they don't stay super juicy and dewy on your skin so therefore they're just going to have more longevity than a typical cream blush7:47
    • These are gonna be best for oily skin because they have that self-setting like more of like a cream to powder dry down time7:57
    • Dry skin don't be spooked, you could absolutely use this formula, it's gonna look beautiful on your skin, it's not gonna feel dry, it's not gonna look crackly, it's not gonna feel heavy, it's just gonna look and translate more as like a satin matte finish on you8:05
  7. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick at 08:32 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The Westman Atelier cream blushes are still one of my favorites and what I consider to be some of the goats of cream blushes8:23
    • They're the most pricey so they're luxe but they're worth it8:32
    • These are 48 and I know it's a lot
    • I do feel like they'll last you a really long time. You do get a decent amount of product in these and you don't need a ton of product to just see the results and the color payoff8:38
    • They're pigmented, they're long lasting, they're very easy to blend8:46
    • To me these are really universally friendly. All skin types can wear this, all skin ages can wear it8:51
    • Out of all the new cream blushes that have launched since this has come out, this still stands up to all the new ones, so that says a lot8:57
    • Blushes come and go, there's new formulas kicking old ones off of their pedestal all the time, but this one has still remained very very impressive and still very worth checking out and still one of the best available at Sephora9:05
    • My personal favorite shade from Westman Atelier is Petal. I use it on tons of clients. It's a gorgeous soft pink that's very wearable9:17
  8. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing MAC Cosmetics Glow Play Cushiony Blush at 09:55 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • These are by far the most unique in the cream blush category in my opinion9:40
    • There is soft whipped like mousse texture they're very bouncy and they look bouncy and juicy and plump on your skin9:45
    • It's a really fun texture that just looks so flattering on your skin9:52
    • This does to me have a very blurring quality to it too10:00
    • If you want a filtered like look to your cream blush and you want something that's not going to emphasize texture or larger pores something it's going to wear a really long time even on its own without any powder on top of it the MAC Glow Play blushes are so unbelievably good they're fantastic10:05
    • This formula also comes in some of my favorite neutral shades like True Harmony and Blush Please10:14
    • If you don't love a blushy blush look you want something that's kind of like soft barely there like a whisper of color then the Glow Play blushes come in so many of those wearable like you're blushing but you're not blushing type shades10:26
  9. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Laura Mercier Blush Colour Infusion at 11:25 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is one of the first powder blushes I ever fell in love with and used11:17
    • I still love these to this day especially the shade chai and fresco11:21
    • If you've never used the classic and iconic bat powder blushes from Laura Mercier then you're really missing out11:41
    • This is gonna be the most safe bet good for everyone easy to blend on not patchy beautiful beautiful classic shade to choose from type formula to pick up at Sephora11:47
    • If you're in doubt if you want something that's just a no-fail option that's a powder blush the Laura Mercier's are absolutely the way to go11:58
    • These retail for 37 and as I mentioned there's so many great shades one of my favorites is chai which I'm applying in this video and you just can't go wrong12:02

  10. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing ILIA Soft Focus Blurring Blush at 12:40 in a YouTube Shorts video
    ILIA$36.00
    • They're one of the most blurring powder blushes I've ever tried in my 18 years of doing makeup12:29
    • Not only are they actually blurring, it's not just marketing, they actually do blur your skin12:40
    • Great if you want a powder blush that blurs texture, fine lines, larger pores, anything like that12:45
    • These are also great for all skin types12:51
    • I love that they launched some what I would call quote-unquote more boring shades. So like really soft mauves, really soft pale blush tones, really wearable everyday colors that are not too dramatic, not too overly pigmented, not too overly out there12:55
    • If you ever want something that's just a really soft safe color to wear with any of your eyeshadow looks, any of your lip colors, then ILIA powder blushes has some really great safe shades to choose from13:05
    • These retail for 36 dollars, they're new, they're noteworthy, and they absolutely earn a spot in this video because they're that good13:16
  11. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Haus Labs Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powder at 14:03 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Haus Labs$32.00
    • These are really great pro artist type formula because they're highly pigmented you don't need a lot of product
    • They are quite pigmented out the gate so less is more13:35
    • If you're just an everyday blush wearer, not a pro makeup artist, tap in gently, apply and layer it and build it up to the intensity that you want. Don't dip too heavily into the product because you'll pick up a lot of pigment and it might be a little too intense13:39
    • Super pro performance, really beautiful shades to choose from, really bright, vibrant, gorgeous shades13:54
    • They're not patchy. They're still very easy to blend, even though they are highly pigmented13:59
    • They look really soft and silky on the skin and they last a really decent time even on their own14:07
    • $32, they're pretty small and compact14:12
    • They used to be a lot bigger. I'm okay with them being a little bit smaller and scaled down because they take up a heck of a lot less room in your makeup bag or your makeup kits14:17
    • They have a mirror inside and they're just a really great newer matte powder blush formula that I think is one of the best at Sephora14:29
  12. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Yves Saint Laurent Make Me Blush 24H Buildable Powder Blush at 15:06 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The Yves Saint Laurent make me blush formula, the matte ones in particular, are my personal favorite15:01
    • I think that they are so well done. They're perfectly pigmented. They build up easily. They layer really nicely. They blend out nicely. They're not patchy. They don't feel dry on your skin. They're just a perfect matte powder blush formula15:06
    • This one to me is the best one available currently at Sephora15:16
    • These come with a $46 price tag, it's hefty I know, but I will say like I mentioned earlier, these are luxe but worth it15:32
    • You get at least an incredible formula matte powder blush that is just gorgeous, it's a perfect formula15:37
    • If you're willing to spend extra money and you're willing to treat yourself, then these are the ones that are worth treating yourself for15:43
  13. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Charlotte Tilbury Cheek To Chic Powder Blush at 16:00 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The Charlotte Tilbury ones you can't beat15:54
    • They are truly one of the safest ones you can get in terms of a glowy powder blush16:00
    • Gives off the softest, glowiest finish. You can use them by themselves, you can use them as a blush topper on top of a matte formula or on top of a cream or a liquid16:06
    • However you use them, I think they're one of the safest bets in terms of a glowy blush because they just look really soft, really effortless, and they're beautiful shades to choose from as well16:09
    • They blend easy, they're not patchy16:19
    • These do come with a higher price point so they're luxe but worth it. These are $43 each
    • To me, they're one of the best formats at Sephora and they definitely are still worth checking out even though they've been around for so so long. They're still absolutely gorgeous16:24
  14. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Luminous Powder Blush at 16:47 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • These are so stunning but my god are they they pack a punch. These are not for the faint of heart16:41
    • If you don't want high impact high glow, I have these on right now as a blush topper16:41
    • You can also wear these alone. There'll be a beautiful, very, very ultra glowy powder formula16:52
    • I think these work the best as blush toppers16:58
    • Pair this on top of a cream formula, on top of a liquid formula, or even pair on top of a matte powder blush to give it some more zing and zang, and you're going to love it17:03
    • These are just truly some of the most outstanding, highly, highly glowiest of glowy powder blushes at Sephora17:07
    • The one thing I want to call it, if you do pick up one of these, is be careful with it, baby it, smooth talk it, wine and dine it because they break easy. They're pretty fragile17:18
    • If you're throwing this into your makeup bag, you really run the risk of breaking it and damaging it17:27
    • Try not to travel with it because you're just running a big risk17:31
    • If you can get past that, one of the most beautiful glowy powder blushes at Sephora17:40
  15. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Yves Saint Laurent Make Me Blush 24H Buildable Powder Blush at 17:55 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • 44 is one of my favorite pink glowy blushes17:50
    • This is like Orgasm from NARS, but better and less glittery
    • If you love that one back in the day, but now you're a little iffy about if it's going to look good on like more mature or textured skin, then 44 from Yves Saint Laurent is the way to go17:58
    • If you love that shade from NARS, then you're absolutely going to love 44 from Yves Saint Laurent18:08
    • These are still luxe, but worth it. They're $46, just like the matte version, but they are outstanding18:12
    • They're not patchy. They blend easy. They look stunning on your skin18:17
    • This is one of the most beautiful, luminous, glowy powder blushes at Sephora17:40
  16. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Kosas Blush is Life Baked Dimensional Brightening Blush at 19:04 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love these. Not only are they affordable, it's not just about affordability18:53
    • I think these are the most beginner friendly baked formula at Sephora19:05
    • Very soft, very buildable. They're not high intensity all at once19:11
    • Even if you get your brush and you just dig in there and you go to town, even if you pick up a lot of product when you go to apply, it's still gonna look really soft and really beautiful19:13
    • It's hard to mess this one up even if you are like just starting out with blush19:22
    • This is the one I recommend because I think it is the most foolproof formula and the most foolproof finish at Sephora19:26
    • Great for beginners, great for teens, great for anyone19:32
    • These also look great on dry skin. They look great on oily skin. They're going to be the most universally flattering baked blush19:38
    • The shade Butterfly is one of my favorite, Euphoria19:45
    • They give a really beautiful like semi-filtered effect. If you have texture, don't be afraid of these. They're not like a chunky glitter that's going to emphasize texture or larger pores19:51
    • For $29, you can't beat the Kosas
  17. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush at 20:35 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Hourglass$48.00
    • The Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blushes, they're the best baked blushes to pick up20:14
    • If you're willing to splurge, these are quite literally so luxe, but so worth it20:21
    • They're $48 each, which again, I know is very pricey. You can definitely get a foundation for that amount of money, but these are absolutely worth it20:28
    • The soft glow these give you, the way they blend, the way they build up, the way they could be used as a blush topper but they could be worn on their own, they're so versatile in that regard20:35
    • They're good for all skin types, all skin ages. If you have texture, if you have super smooth skin, it doesn't matter what kind of skin type you have or what kind of skin age you have, you're going to love the Hourglass Ambient Baked Blushes20:03
