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!
So there you have the 10 Best Drugstore Blushes Under $10! Have you tried any of these products? I’d love to know what your favorite drugstore blush is! Let me know in the comment section below!

May 22, 2017 at 6:14 amI 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!
Kindly Unspoken says
May 29, 2017 at 5:41 pmI get so excited when I find good dupes like that! 🙂
Jamie @ The Skinny Soul says

Lindsay says
May 22, 2017 at 8:54 amThe original elf blush always reminded me of NARS! And I love anything NYX!
Kindly Unspoken says
May 29, 2017 at 5:43 pmI know, it’s uncanny how similar the elf blushes are to some higher end ones!

Love this list!

May 23, 2017 at 12:04 amI 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 🙂
Kindly Unspoken says
May 29, 2017 at 5:53 pmHmm that’s strange! Maybe try seeing if you can find the products online and ship it to the store! 🙂

Hannah says
May 23, 2017 at 10:38 amI 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!
Kindly Unspoken says
May 29, 2017 at 5:55 pmOh- 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. 🙂
Taylor Mobley says
May 24, 2017 at 12:52 amI have almost all of these! They are AWESOME. Elf is one of my favorite blush brands – so pigmented!

June 5, 2017 at 7:26 pmI 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!
