One of the most frequent questions I get asked about my makeup is what blush I’m wearing, so today I thought I’d share what I consider the best drugstore blush products- all of which are under $10! If you’ve been around these parts for awhile, you know how much of a fan I am of drugstore makeup.
Not only is it inexpensive and easily accessible at your local drugstore, but it often has better quality than high end makeup, making it a no-brainer choice. Let’s dig into my faves and feel free to shop the products linked below to add some pretty color and glow to your cheeks!
The 10 Best Drugstore Blushes under $10
Milani Baked Blush – At the top of my list is my holy grail, absolute favorite blush of all time- Milani Baked Blush! Shown above is my personal favorite, Berry Amore, but I also really love the shades Delizioso Pink and Corallina! These blushes have a mix of beautiful colors all in one, are super pigmented, and they give you a beautiful color and glow on the cheeks!
e.l.f. Blush Palette– e.l.f. really outdid themselves with this beautiful blush palette. Not only do you get 4 versatile shades in one, but the pigmentation is on point! This palette is perfect for traveling or for keeping handy in your makeup bag.
Milani Illuminating Face Powder– My love for Milani goes deep, ya’ll and while this product is one of my latest blush additions, I’m already in love. First of all, the packaging itself is gorgeous featuring beautiful roses, but all the colors mixed together on the cheeks look so pretty! Shown is the shade “Beauty’s Touch”, which offers more of a pinky, rose tone, but the shade “Amber Nectar” is equally gorgeous and is the perfect product for getting that summer time glow. I own both products and have been wearing them on the cheeks non-stop lately.
Wet n’ Wild Color Icon Ombre Blush– I actually featured this in my “New 2017 Drugstore Makeup Obsessions” back in February and I must say I still wholly love these blushes! Wet n’ Wild is one of those drugstore brands that I couldn’t live without and both the pigmentation and quality of these blushes is amazing. I really love the ombre effect and how I can get a different variation on the cheeks depending on how I swirl my brush in the product. Definitely a must-have in my opinion!
Wet n’ Wild Color Icon Blush– Just like it’s ombre cousin, the regular Wet n’ Wild Color Icon Blushes are super pretty and add the perfect amount of color to the cheeks. I own several shades including this pink one, a coral one, and a rose one- all of which are beautiful.
NYX Professional High Definition Blush– If you want something that is going to last on the cheeks all day long, look no further than the NYX Professional HD blushes! These were actually one of the first products I bought from NYX, and I haven’t been let down yet. Shown is the color “Intuition” but I own tons of pink shades that look so pretty year-round!
Pixi by Petra MultiBalm– I’m not typically a cream blush kinda girl, but these MultiBalm sticks are so handy and the color selection is so pretty and fun! This particular shade is “Watermelon” and is so perfect for summer time! A little product goes a long way, and it adds such a nice, natural looking color to the cheeks.
Sonia Kashuk Beautifying Blush– If you’re a fan of bright shades for spring, then you’ll love this gorgeous blush. Offering a rich, matte finish, this blush is the perfect product to apply to the apples of the cheeks for that beautiful “just blushed” look. I really love how silky the finish is and it’s one I’m always reaching for in the spring and summer months.
Physician’s Formula Happy Booster Glow and Mood Boosting Powder– One of the first drugstore brands I ever owned was Physicians Formula, and their blush and bronzer products never disappoint! This product gives such a gorgeous glow to the cheeks and even claims to give you endorphins to put you in a better mood. I must say I’m always pretty happy wearing this color! 🙂
e.l.f. Blush– Last but certainly not least is e.l.f.’s original blush! While it may be one of the most inexpensive products on the list at $3 it is one of the best drugstore blushes out there in terms of pigmentation. If you want an inexpensive product that gives you great color, definitely give it a try. Shown is Candid Coral, which is so pretty on the cheeks!

I think that the NYX blush (in “Pinched”) is totally a dupe for NARS Orgasm blush! It’s crazy how almost identical they are to each other!
I get so excited when I find good dupes like that! 🙂
Great article–I am often at the drugstore and uncertain of which products to try when I’m in a pinch. I have tried the Sonia Kashuk in the past and not been disappointed 🙂
Thanks! They have really good foundation products too! I love their lightweight foundation. 🙂
Wet n wild an elf have really amaze me with how wonderful their products have been, especially of late! Well I love my Nars blush, it’s always nice to be able to pick up a fun drugstore brand. Have a marvelous Monday beautiful lady!
I agree! It’s nice to know there are affordable options out there that work just as well! 🙂
That Pixi blush stick looks really interesting. I think I need to try that one!
I don’t use a lot of cream products, but that one is so subtle and pretty!
The original elf blush always reminded me of NARS! And I love anything NYX!
I know, it’s uncanny how similar the elf blushes are to some higher end ones!
Milani is my favorite drugstore brand for blushes!!! I like their lip gloss colors too. I will have to check out the Pixi one.
Mine too! I swear I could buy one of each lol.
Such great picks!! I love the Elf one – I use their bronzer/blush duo and LOVE it! It’s a great dupe for the NARS one!
Thanks! I’ve heard that from a lot of people! It’s nice to find good dupes! 🙂
I just got a ‘roller’ for highlighter & really like how it applys – I’d love to have a blush in that.
Oh that would be handy! I can see how a highlighter like that would be awesome!
I’m a blush-aholic, so I agree with every single one of these picks, Cara. My Milani Luminoso is so loved the dome shape is long gone!

Haha I’m on my second one! 😉
Pixi and NYX I’ve used before and they’re great! They’re such great starter products for those who don’t use makeup that often.
I agree! NYX always has a great color section too!
I’ve been so into blush at the moment. All these look lovely but I think I need to add the NYX one to my to buy list first!

They really are! The packaging alone sold me on them! haha
These are some great blushes! The WnW Color Icon ones are my favorite! Milani has great ones too. If you have ever heard of City Color Cosmetics their matte blushes are AWESOME and HUGE and less than $5.00.
Oh I’ll have to check those out! Milani and WnW are probably my faves! They have great pigmentation!
Thank you for the amazing tips. I would love to give it a try to both mentioned Milani blushes. They just look so gorgeous.
They are beautiful! And the color payoff and pigmentation is amazing!
Love the ELF blush palette really pretty shades!

They really are! And you can’t beat the price!
I’ve actually never tried any of these but they all look great!
I highly recommend them all, Natalie! 🙂
The Milani Baked Blushes are some of the best of ALL time! I love Luminoso and Rose D’Oro. I also really love essence cosmetics ombre blush – it’s super pigmented for a great price!
Milani Baked blushes are amazing! I’ll have to check the essence ombre one out! 🙂
So many amazing choices here. I didn’t used to wear blush but now i’m obsessed. I love that ELF palette, it’s one of my daily “go tos”. I’ve been wanting to try the Milani Illuminiating Face Palette and the Wet ‘n Wild Ombre one, too!
I love adding a little color to my cheeks even when I don’t have on a full-face of makeup. I definitely recommend both of those! 🙂
I love hearing about all the positive comments and reviews from inexpensive brands like NYX, elf, etc. But I love that you have a great mix of blushes here from brands I have always wanted to try to Milani Baked Blush because it has the best reviews and it’s also affordable. Love this list!
Once you try it, you’ll never go back! haha I’m obsessed with milani baked blushes- they’re absolutely beautiful. 🙂
I’ve heard so many great things about that ombre blush, I really need to try it! I always go after the department store blushes but there are so many great drug store ones! Love this!
I love coming across good dupes at the drugstore, so I definitely recommend giving some of these a try! Milani and Wet n’ Wild are probably my fave!
Nee to try all of these! They look amazing.
They’re all great choices, Jenny! 🙂
This post just came in handy! I am actually going make up shopping tomorrow and needed to pick up a new blush!

Oh, that’s great. Glad it was helpful to you! 🙂
I’ve used a few of these and loved them! Milani Baked Blushes are amazing and I really love the NYX one’s as well. I need to check out some of these other ones!
Milani blushes are my ride or die products. They’re so pretty!
I love these – I will definitely be following your recommendations here. I love Sonia Kashuk makeup, but I noticed two different Target stores near me no longer carry it. Wonder what’s up? Good thing I have these options 🙂
Hmm that’s strange! Maybe try seeing if you can find the products online and ship it to the store! 🙂
I’ve tried Wet N’ Wild and NYX. Amazing!
Thanks for the list.
Both of those are great drugstore brands! 🙂
Love ALL of these, they are amazing!

Great minds think alike girl! 😉
The pixi one is great! I just picked it up a few weeks ago and I love it!
Oh, yay! So glad to hear that. It’s such a subtle color but so pretty!
I love this post! Thanks so much for sharing! I’m big on drugstore brands because I don’t love spending tons of money on my makeup since I don’t wear much to begin with. I have super dry skin so I use a liquid blush by L’Oreal at the moment, which I love, but I’m definitely willing to try one of these!
Oh- interesting. I’ve never heard of a liquid one by L’Oreal so I’ll have to check that out. I have dry skin too but haven’t noticed any issues with any of these powder products. 🙂
I have almost all of these! They are AWESOME. Elf is one of my favorite blush brands – so pigmented!
I know, it’s crazy! Also the fact that they are so inexpensive too, which is awesome.
I love the pixi sticks! They look natural and feel lightweight!
I agree! It’s just that perfect amount of color without being over the top!
I love this guide! I just bought a new blush with my Urban Decay palette. It came with bronzer, highlight, and blush. I do need to find another shade so I’m definitely going to check these out!
Oh that’s nice that it had all of that in one palette!
These are all gorgeous! I love Milani Luminoso and the Elf Quad. But I have never tried a Sonia Kashuk blush before and that one looks beautiful!
It is so pretty! And perfect for this time of year!
I’ve become really enthusiastic over makeup the last few months and I’ve been looking for some great blushes. These are all great suggestions! I like the really pigmented one 🙂
I love adding blush to the cheeks for that little extra bit of color! Glad you enjoyed the post! 🙂
I have only used one brand of blush for the past 8 years. However, when my last one is used up, I plan to change to a more eco-friendly option, such as Pixi or Elf. Thanks for sharing what you think of these! I cannot wait to be able to try one!
Pixi and elf are both great options! 🙂
