There’s lots to love about the best beauty trends of 2025, but this spring’s shift towards soft sculpting and dewy pops of colour proves that blusher is most definitely making a comeback. However, while cream blusher feels like a natural choice for achieving that sheer, subtle flush, with summer on its way, it doesn’t always prove itself to be the most long-wearing option. Enter: the cheek tint.
Unlike other more viral blushers, the best cheek tints tend to melt into the skin, offering up a natural-looking pop of colour that lasts. And as a beauty editor whose skin remains perpetually oily, whatever the weather, knowing that I’ve got on a blusher that will last through sweaty commutes, summer heatwaves and hormonal breakouts is crucial. After all, I love stepping out with a playful coral cheek or a soft, dusty rose glow (I adore soft blur makeup), but hate having to touch up my makeup halfway through the day.
Which is why I’ve been busy testing all of the cheek tints that I can get my hands on in order to bring you a comprehensive edit of the very best on the market right now. Whether you like a punchy pop of colour or a sculpted and sun-kissed look, I think you’ll find something to suit from the lineup ahead.
