Blush is back with a fresh attitude this Spring—softer, effortless, and undeniably modern. This season, Blush is the ultimate beauty essential, adding warmth, lift, and that just-pinched glow that instantly wakes up the complexion. A wave of new launches means blush now comes in every formula imaginable. Creamy textures that melt into skin, finely-milled powders for a soft-focus flush, and easy-to-use sticks that make touch-ups a breeze. With so many options, there’s never been a better time to experiment. Which one will you choose?

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Suede Powder Blush
If there’s one thing Rihanna knows, it’s how to make makeup feel as good as it looks. The Fenty Cheeks Suede Powder Blush takes everything you love about a soft, velvety flush and makes it even better. Expect an airy, ultra-smooth formula that melts into skin with a seamless, buildable wash of colour. Infused with Magnolia Bark Extract, this waterproof blush resists sweat and humidity while delivering a bright yet wearable finish that lasts all day.
If you thought the formula is impressive, wait till you see the shade range! With eight hues designed to complement every skin tone, there’s a colour to suit any and everyone. And with a choice of matte or shimmer, you can decide exactly how to dress up your cheeks. Go for a soft-focus matte for an effortless, everyday glow, or reach for a luminous shimmer when you want a little extra radiance. The texture? Buttery soft. The impact? Instant.
Designed to be played with, this blush blends like a dream, letting you layer, mix, and customise until you get the perfect finish. As Rihanna puts it, “It looks bold and feels sexy”—and who can argue with that?
Fenty Beauty Cheeks Suede Powder Blush($46) is available in-store and online on FentyBeauty.com and Sephora.sg.

Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush
Next on the list isn’t really a blush; it’s skincare in disguise! Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush is more than a tint, delivering a sheer, dewy wash of colour while actively working to brighten, plump, and even skin tone over time. Infused with 3% niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and jojoba-treated pigments, this first-of-its-kind cheek serum hydrates as it enhances, giving skin that fresh, lit-from-within glow with every wear.
That said, if you are after a highly pigmented makeup product, this might not be for you. Taking cues from the viral success of Glow Recipe’s Hue Drops, Dewy Flush blends effortlessly for a second-skin finish—weightless, buildable, and clinically proven to reduce hyperpigmentation over time. It’s ideal for those who love to flaunt their skin, without any makeup or are looking for that simple glow-up on a day off.
After even more radiance? The Rosy Glow Hue Drops Serum steps in with a soft champagne-pink shimmer, powered by niacinamide and centella asiatica to soothe, brighten, and boost hydration.
Designed in a skincare lab rather than a makeup lab, this formula embodies Glow Recipe’s Glow Hues philosophy with skincare-first tints that work beyond just colour. Whether worn alone for a natural flush or layered for extra impact, it’s makeup that loves your skin back.
Find the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush in Watermelon Flush or Berry Flush for $40.00 (12ml) and the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Hue Drops in Rosy Glow for $57.00 (40ml) online and in-stores at Sephora.

NUDESTIX Nudies Matte Blush Stick and Glow Highlighter Stick
Blush textures, trends, and techniques are taking centre stage in 2025, and NUDESTIX is leading the way with its effortlessly wearable, multi-tasking makeup sticks. Known for its versatile, on-the-go formulas, NUDESTIX offers over six blush textures and 35+ shades, ensuring there’s something for every skin tone, mood, and makeup style.
This spring, NUDESTIX introduces the Clean Candy Girl Blush trend—soft, youthful, and glowing cheeks with a fresh, effortless touch. To bring this vision to life, the brand has partnered with Global Makeup Artist and Educator Kevin Kodra to create two new custom Nudies shades.
Nudies Matte Blush($57) in ‘Bubba’ is a warm bubble-gum pink matte blush designed to capture that flirty, just-blushed effect. Infused with a balance of warm and cool tones, it mimics the soft pink flush you get when your crush says hello.
The Nudies Glow in ‘Say I Dew’ is a sheer baby pink highlighter with a hint of sparkle, designed for an ethereal, radiant glow. Whether worn alone or layered with Bubba, it adds a romantic, dewy sheen that catches the light in all the right places.
These two shades marry together seamlessly, creating the perfect Candy Girl Cheek look—soft, flushed, and effortlessly fresh. As with all NUDIES sticks, they’re multi-purpose, meaning you can swipe them across cheeks, eyes, and lips for a monochromatic, glowing finish.
Available at your nearest Sephora store or online.
