The Best Long-Lasting Blushers SQ Girls Use On Long-Haul Flights
#1 Benefit Cosmetics Benetint Cheek & Lip Stain, $54
If natural, post-coital kind of flush is what you want, look no further than this original cheek and lip stain formula. Thanks to its brush applicator, all you need is to apply three dots on each cheek and blend with your fingertips. With a lightweight, liquid-gel texture, it disappears into skin, leaving behind only a sheer wash of colour that melds completely into the texture of the skin. This helps further enhance the natural effect of this product, instead of looking like a layer of makeup that sits on top of the skin.

If youre a novice to liquid blushers and are nervous about streaky application, start with this foolproof one from Armani Beauty. Designed to give cheeks a watercolour-esque blush effect, this water-based liquid blush blends into skin seamlessly without any patchy or uneven effects. Thanks to its sheer coverage, you can wear it as a light veil of colour or layer two or three coats for added intensity.
