Popsugar Beauty Makeup Best Gel Blushes Gel Blushes Are Here and About to Make Your Face a Watercolor Work of Art 30 April 2021 by Anvita Reddy As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work. This summer, one makeup formula has us jumping for joy through the humidity and heat: gel blush. The sheer colours, which are usually packaged in a tube, allow you to achieve a watercolor-like finish in just a few strokes and pats of my fingers. With colours ranging from coral to blackberry, there's no shortage of options when it comes to this trend. Plus, you can pat these babies across your lips and eyes too for a monochromatic makeup look. The products are easy to use and make you look naturally flushed and glowy in no time so you can spend less time doing your makeup and more enjoying your hot girl summer. — Additional reporting by Sarah Siegel Related: 12 Sunscreens You Need to Easily Reapply Your SPF Throughout the Day Kaja Mochi Pop Bouncy Blush Image Source: sephora.com Press your fingers lightly into the Kaja Mochi Pop Bouncy Blush ($19) before spreading on the cheeks for a pop of colour.
