Best Orange Blushes for Light Skin Tones

Valentino Beauty Eye2Cheek Blush and Eyeshadow in Orange Delight

This soft apricot hue gives a lively flush to fair and light skin tones. The compact is one that will make people stop and stare, but it’s also built for convenience with a built-in mirror and tiny brush that are perfect for touch-ups.

Maybelline New York Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush in Coral Ember

Get a sheer, sun-kissed flush with this gel-cream hybrid. The formula is easy to tap on and blend with your fingers, making it our go-to for quick everyday makeup looks. 

Lancôme Blush Subtil Powder Blush in Absolutely Happy

Blush is usually the fastest to fade in any makeup look, but not this one, which has a long-wearing, oil-absorbing formula. Flecked with a hint of shimmer,  Absolutely Happy is a true sunny coral.

Yensa Super Serum Silk Cream Blush in Peach Sunset

While it looks pale in the compact, this serum-infused cream blush is easily buildable and drapes cheeks in a soft flush of color. We like dabbing on the warm orange shade with our fingertips or a densely packed brush. 

Best Orange Blushes for Medium Skin Tones

Giorgio Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Glow Blush in Offbeat

The Luminous Silk Glow Blushes offer a pop of color with a smooth, radiant finish. Offbeat is a natural-looking apricot tone that will enhance the warmth in medium and olive complexions.

L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Soft Matte Blush in Fearless Coral

For a long-lasting pop of color, look no further than these blushes. The 24-hour formula is sweat-, heat-, transfer- and waterproof, with a soft matte finish and vibrant color payoff. Fearless coral is a hot pinky-orange that’s made for bold blush lovers.

Maybelline New York Fit Me Blush in Rose

Get effortlessly flushed cheeks with this silky, easy-to-blend powder blush. Rose offers a subtle hint of shimmer for a lit-from-within coral glow.

Olio E Osso Lip & Cheek Tinted Balm in French Melon

If you’re anything like us, you can’t get enough of multipurpose makeup products that make getting ready a breeze. This tinted lip and cheek balm fits the bill perfectly, with a hydrating, non-sticky texture and juicy orange hue. 

Best Orange Blushes for Dark Skin Tones

Urban Decay Hydromaniac Dewy Liquid Blush in Obsessed

With a hydrating, plumping formula and rich pigmentation designed to pop on all skin tones, these liquid blushes are a must for any blush lover. Obsessed is a vivid coral color with warm, rosy undertones.

NYX Professional Makeup Sweet Cheeks Soft Cheek Tint Cream Blush in Almost Famous

Apply one to two dots of this red-hot cream blush for a subtle flush or layer on the color to up the drama — either way, the doe-foot applicator makes it easy to customize your color payoff. The vegan formula nurtures skin with a combination of shea butter and glycerin.

Giorgio Armani Beauty Neo Nude Color Melting Balm in Brick Red

Inside this luxe compact, you’ll find a burnt orange balm that blends seamlessly on the cheeks, eyelids and tip of the nose for a naturally sun-kissed look. Our editors love blending its silky, lightweight texture using their fingers. 

Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed in Golden Hour

Mimic a golden hour glow day or night with this vibrantly pigmented lip and cheek balm. Infused with hyaluronic acid and squalane, it keeps skin soft and hydrated while still providing a natural matte finish.
