Multi-tasking beauty products are in vogue, thanks to the fact that you get the best of both worlds, where you use just one product to cover multiple makeup steps at the same time.

Other than skincare products that help you to skip steps (e.g. moisturisers that give you a glow-up), another beauty product that has stepped up to help us save our time (and money!) is none other than the blush. It is little wonder then that we’re seeing lots of newly-launched blushes promising to not only breathe life into your complexion, but also give your skin a subtle glow.

If you’ve been planning to invest in a highlighter, you’ll probably change your mind after you see these 10 new blushes – read on and find out why!

1. Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Pillow Talk Intense

Blushers That Highlight At The Same Time Charlotte Tilbury Cheek To Chic Pillow Talk Intense

What’s better than a blush that highlights at the same time? A blush in Charlotte Tilbury’s universally-flattering Pillow Talk shade, which is well-loved by superstars and models alike!

This powder blush comes in two tones: one is a deeper rosy-pink colour that looks naturally gorgeous on darker skin tones, coupled with a shimmery Pillow Talk shade that is formulated with Light Flex Technology to capture and reflect light.

You can swirl both colours together on the apples of your cheeks for a gorgeous ombre glow, or just use the Pillow Talk shimmer on your cheekbones for a draping effect.

Charlotte Tilbury Cheek to Chic Pillow Talk Intense retails at SGD70 in Sephora.

2. Jill Stuart Bloom Mix Blush Compact

There are five complementary shades of this blush powder in each compact, which you can freely mix together to create your ideal blush shade. Each combination of colours is guaranteed to leave your cheeks blooming with a radiant glow reminiscent of spring.

In addition, although the Jill Stuart Bloom Mix Blush Compact is meant to be blush powder, the essence-in-base makes this feel moist and comfortable, as though the blush colour is melting into your skin. The colour blends easily onto skin, so you don’t have to worry about sporting the same red cheeks as Pikachu.

That being said, we’re already in love with its beautiful packaging – the bejewelled cover, together with a brush that comes with a Swarovski rhinestone attached, is enough to entice us into buying it!

Jill Stuart Bloom Mix Blush Compact currently retails at SGD50 in Sephora.

Both types of palettes are versatile and can be used on your eyes, cheeks, and lips, so you’re effectively getting an eyeshadow, tinted lip balm, blush, AND highlighter with just one product!

Besides boasting beautifully coordinated colours that are universally flattering, the dual palettes are all infused with Dahlia Variabilis Flower Extract, which has excellent anti-ageing and anti-oxidant properties that make sure your skin doesn’t lose that healthy and youthful glow.
