Having a favorite blush can be both a blessing and a curse.

On one hand, you always know what works—but on the other, it’s easy to forget about the rest of your stash. Here are some blushes I own but don’t use as often as I’d like!

1. BENEFIT Benetint

This is a liquid formula, which I’m still getting used to. It’s almost water-like in texture, and applying it feels different from cream or powder blushes. I love the shade, but it’s not one I normally gravitate toward. I think with a little more practice, this could become a more regular part of my routine—many people swear by it for a natural, flushed look.

2. REVOLUTION Balm

I like the pigment on this one, but the shade I chose is a peachy-orange that doesn’t quite complement my current skin tone. It’s not a bad color, though—I imagine it would be perfect for summer when warmer tones suit my skin better. It’s definitely a blush I want to revisit when the weather warms up.

3. CIATE Dewy Blush

Ciate formulations are always solid, and this one delivers great pigmentation. I simply haven’t been using it much because of the shade—it’s not quite my go-to right now. I think it will be fun to bring it back during the summer months when I want a more dewy, radiant flush.

I clearly need to branch out from my favorite blush and experiment with the colors I already own. These three are all great formulas that deserve more love, especially during the warmer months when brighter, peachier, or dewier shades feel more seasonally appropriate. It’s a gentle reminder that my blush drawer has a lot more to offer if I just mix things up.
