The Secret Drugstore Blushes That Rival 10 High-End Favorites
Blush is a beauty product that is looked over far too often. It's an essential step in a makeup routine that is subtle with promising results. Of course, bronzers and contour powders are great for an instantaneous St. Tropez moment, and highlighters can make us look and feel like a radiant orb when our lack of sleep makes us feel anything but. But what happens when you want to look a little more effortless? There's nothing like a quick hit of blush to liven up our complexion in a time of need or when we're aiming for a natural beauty look.
Blush's transformative powers make it easy to understand why it's one of the most important beauty staples among celebrities, makeup artists, and beauty editors. It makes you look more alive and healthier than that fifth cup of coffee ever will. Simply put, blush does a lot without ever doing too much.
As you may already know (or soon will), blush is easy to become rather dependent on, and since you'll likely find yourself reaching for your favorite formula daily, we did you and your bank account a favor by sharing 10 of the most beloved blush formulas (if your budget so allows) in addition to the 10 drugstore dupes bearing an uncanny resemblance in terms of ingredients, wear, and finish. Ahead are 10 of the best drugstore blushes your face will thank you for.
How they're similar: Aside from the most obvious similarities (they both double as lip and blush color and come in travel-friendly stick form), these blush formulas are natural, cruelty-free, and loaded with skin-enhancing ingredients like jojoba oil. At one-fifth the price, this pick from Burt's Bees comes in six colors versus Westman Atelier's four. How they're similar: Milani is one of our all-time favorite drugstore brands, and while all of its product offerings are fab, its selection of gorgeous blushes is one of the very best. This pretty Baked number is a known cult favorite and imparts the prettiest prismatic glow.How they're similar: Each blush boasts a handy doe-foot applicator and bouncy, featherlight formula. However, Maybelline's version comes in at about one-fourth the price of Giorgio Armani's fan favorite while performing two jobs at once.How they're similar: I'm not going to lie: I have a longtime, die-hard love for this collection of blushes from Hourglass. While I won't be banishing my current supply anytime soon, I will say that this Baked Illuminating Blush from Found is the closest drugstore dupe I've found. Plus, it's filled with natural, skin-loving botanicals. How they're similar: It's true—no blush can ever compare to Orgasm's icon status. That said, this shimmering pop of coral pink from L'Oréal is pretty darn stellar and is one of the most flattering drugstore blush formulas we've swiped in a long, long time. (Oh, and did we mention that the pan is bigger and the price tag is significantly smaller? Just saying.) How they're similar: One part blush, one part subtle dose of color, both offerings from Guerlain and Physicians Formula are the perfect blush prescription for anyone looking for a flattering hint of glow. While this drugstore iteration might lack Guerlain's exclusive Stardust technology, it does contain mica and a healthy dose of antioxidants for a glow-worthy and radiant flush. How they're similar: For the ultimate juicy pop of color, this new launch from E.L.F. boasts a similar likeness to the above favorite from Chantecaille. Both formulas burst with hydrating ingredients and are cruelty-free and vegan. Plus, the packaging is equally adorable. How they're similar: The above work of art from Kevyn Aucoin is pure genius. It's an ombré melding of pearl, satin, and matte finishes in a spectrum of gradient colors, so you're really getting more than just one blush for your money. That said, this drugstore blush from Nyx follows the same concept and is much less of a splurge.How they're similar: Even though quite a few beauty brands have debuted color-changing formulas contingent on our unique pH, Smashbox and its "O-" formulas were some of the OGs. The above tint-changing pick is filled with all sorts of yummy ingredients like goji, pomegranate, and ginkgo biloba, and Wet n Wild's brand-new debut follows suit as a self-adjusting shade shifter chock-full of good stuff like murumuru-seed butter, shea butter, virgin passion fruit, argan, and more. How they're similar: Cruelty-free, this best-of-the-best drugstore blush from Essence has a similar brand ethos to Tarte's, and this matte-finish blush bears a striking resemblance to Tarte's iconic Amazonian formula in that it keeps shine and dewiness at bay, lasts all day, and is highly pigmented for the perfect pop of color.
If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
