Covergirl Cheekers
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/12/05030236_3574_499x485.jpg)
This is my all time favorite of the many best drugstore blushes. I have alternated between the Rose Silk, Classic Pink, and Natural Rose colors because they are all so amazing. You don’t need to use a whole lot of powder to create a natural look and the color lasts for a substantial amount of time. Plus they are so inexpensive that you can get as many different colors as your heart desires.
The Cheekers range from Covergirl is also incredibly user-friendly for those who aren't professional makeup artists. When you apply the blush with a gentle touch, it effortlessly provides a flush that mimics a natural glow, making it a go-to for everyday wear. And for those with sensitive skin, worry not; the formula is known for its gentleness. Easily blendable and buildable, it seamlessly fits into any makeup routine, leaving you with a beautifully radiant complexion that doesn't break the bank or require constant touch-ups throughout your day.

Maybelline Fit Me
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/12/05030314_5272_600x514.jpg)
If you are not a huge blush fan, this is a great one to start out with. The color is very sheer and doesn’t look caked on when you use it. It creates a light pink glow on your cheeks, which is perfect when you just want to look a little flushed.
The Maybelline Fit Me blush line offers a variety of shades that are ideal for achieving that natural, I-woke-up-like-this effect. Whether you're aiming for a subtle hint of color or a slightly bolder look, the buildable formula allows you to control the intensity. Plus, the lightweight powder is infused with micro-fine pigments that blend seamlessly with your skin, ensuring an effortless application. It's also worth mentioning that the blush is dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic, so you can feel confident it's kind to fair complexions prone to sensitivity.

Physicians Formula Happy Boosting Powder
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/12/05030434_9959_575x504.jpg)
What I love so much about Physicians Formula Happy Boosting Powder is that it includes not only a variety of blush color, but also a variety of foundation shades to give you a complementary color. And it smells like violet so you will not only look fabulous, you will smell fabulous too.
This multi-hued product is perfect for enhancing the radiance of fair skin tones. It's infused with natural plant extracts like Rhodiola Rosea, known for promoting a feeling of well-being and happiness. The lightweight, fine-textured powder glides seamlessly, blending into the skin for a natural-looking flush that feels as good as it looks. Physicians Formula has designed this powder to be hypoallergenic, paraben-free, and non-comedogenic, making it a safe choice even for those with sensitive skin. Whether you’re aiming for a subtle glow or a more defined look, this blendable formula allows you to customize your level of color intensity.

Almay Wake up Blush
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/12/05030556_4185_500x500.jpg)
If you have trouble waking up in the morning, Almay Wake Up Blush is for you. It has caffeine as an ingredient, which will make your face feel refreshed and awake every time you put it on. Not to mention the small strip of highlighter to add a subtle glow to your cheeks. This blush has it all to get you ready for anything the day can throw at you.
This unique blush and highlighter duo works wonders for those who thrive on a no-fuss beauty routine. The caffeine perk is a novel approach to revitalize tired skin, giving you a peachy-keen radiance with just a few sweeps. Plus, for fair-skinned beauties, the shade range is just right—not too overpowering, but enough to make your complexion look naturally flushed and vibrant. It's a quick step that packs a punch, offering an extra boost that feels as good as it looks.

Revlon Cream Blush
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/12/05030633_1034_422x494.jpg)
For those girls who prefer a cream blush, Revlon’s Cream Blush is a must have. I have yellow undertones so I personally prefer it in Rosy Glow but if you are looking for a pop of color, the Berry Flirtacious color is also great. The color goes on very smoothly and it is very easy to even out on your cheeks. It gives you a dewy look that you are sure to love.
This Revlon Cream Blush is particularly flattering on fair skin tones. The buildable formula allows you to control the intensity of the shade—you can go for a subtle hint of color or layer it on for something more dramatic. It's incredibly blendable and the range of shades is tailored to enhance your complexion without overpowering it. The added bonus? Its creamy texture also tends to be kinder on dry skin, as it provides a boost of hydration that can keep your cheeks looking fresh and plump throughout the day.

Men in general judge more from appearances than from reality. All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration.
Mark’s Just Blushing Powder
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/12/05030713_7180_600x450.jpg)
For that fresh-faced glow we all desire, Mark’s Just Blushing Powder in Kitten is ideal. It is light yet gives you that subtle “I just woke up from a great night of sleep” glow. It goes on so smoothly and gives you great coverage. It also doesn’t have that sparkly aspect that some other blushes include. The only downside of this product is that it doesn’t come in that great of a container. But that is a minor detail when dealing with such great blush.
The Just Blushing Powder has a silky, blendable formula that flatters lighter complexions without overwhelming them. Kitten is that perfect peachy-pink that adds a touch of innocence to your makeup routine. And let's not forget its staying power – it lasts through the busiest of days without the need for reapplication. Even though packaging can be an issue for some, its performance and finish more than make up for it. It's truly the unsung hero of drugstore makeup that can easily compete with high-end counterparts.

E.l.f. Studio Blush
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/12/05030833_6608_599x591.jpg)
If you are a fan of that subtle sparkle, E.l.f Blush has the tiniest hint of sparkle that will light up your face. If you prefer peach blushes, try the Peachy Keen color. I like blushes with a bit more pink to them so I am a fan of Tickled Pink. Try to stay away from the Pink Passion because it can look too artificial against your fair skin.
Blush can be your best friend or your worst enemy depending on the one you choose. You might think you have to pay a high price to get the blush of your dreams, but these top drugstore finds show that you don’t have to break your bank to get that rosy glow we al know and love. Are you a fan of these drugstore blushes? What are some other great drugstore blushes for fair skin? Do you use a lot of blush or do you prefer to skip it in favor of foundation?
