Women have used some form of blush for thousands of years. The Egyptians crushed beets and swiped the juice across their cheeks and lips. The Victorians, discouraged from using makeup, pinched their faces to achieve the rosy hue of youth. I love blush because it masks my perpetual lack of sleep and hides my natural blotchiness, but I hate to look like I'm obviously wearing blush. I prefer tints that blend seamlessly and provide those coveted "apple cheeks" I don't have on my own. As a longtime user of various powders and creams, I've avoided liquid blush because of its "difficult" reputation. When I asked beauty counter salespeople, they warned me that you have to work fast with liquids, otherwise they dry like pink dots on your face, something that only works if your name is Lynn Yaeger. Applying the right amount correctly makes you look like you took a brisk walk. Too much and you look like you mixed your meds.
Convinced there was a product out there I could master, I tested several brands over the course of three weeks. I searched for the most subtle color for daytime, examining staying power and ease of application. Almost all of the brands come in multiple shades, so rather than focus on specific colors, I judged texture, consistency, and sparkle. The best ones resembled something the Egyptians themselves would have liked, but thankfully, stained my hands less than beet juice ever would.
