If there’s one blush tone I keep reaching for lately, it’s mauve rose. Perfectly in-between pink & berry, mauve rose is not only incredibly versatile, but the kind of shade that works for both everyday makeup and full glam looks. Here are some of my favorite mauve rose blushes right now:
The Blushes
Saie Dew Blush “Chilly” | Buy at Sephora.
This liquid blush gives the prettiest dewy wash of mauve rose. “Chilly” leans slightly cool, which makes it especially flattering if you love that fresh, just-in-from-the-cold flush. The formula blends effortlessly and gives a skin-like glow without feeling sticky. A single dot is more than enough — it’s pigmented but easy to sheer out for a soft look.
Tarte Blush Tape “Rose” | Buy at Tarte (save 15% off with code: allintheblush)
If you love a little more structure to your blush, this one delivers. “Rose” is a muted mauve with just enough warmth to keep it from looking flat. The sponge applicator makes it easy to tap directly onto the cheeks, and it blends out smoothly for a soft-focus finish. It has great staying power, especially if you set lightly with powder.
Patrick Ta She’s Blushing Duo “She Goes to the Gym” | Buy at Amazon.
This duo gives you depth and dimension in one compact. The powder shade is a beautiful mauve rose, and the cream layer adds that signature Patrick Ta glow.
Layering the cream over the powder gives you that lifted, healthy flush that lasts all day. It’s one of those shades that looks effortless but still put-together.
NudeStix Nudies Matte “Cherie” | Buy at Ulta.
“Cherie” is a slightly deeper mauve rose with a matte finish. The stick format makes it perfect for quick application — swipe, blend, done. It gives that softly blurred, almost velvety look to the cheeks and works beautifully for monochromatic makeup when paired with a matching lip.
Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Blush “Rose Crush” | Buy at Sephora.
This is such a classic rose tone with a subtle mauve twist. “Rose Crush” has a silky powder formula that m elts into the skin and never looks dry. It builds beautifully, so you can keep it soft or amp it up. The finish is smooth and refined — perfect for everyday wear.
NARS The Multiple “Dolce Vita” | Buy at Sephora.
“Dolce Vita” is an iconic dusty rose that sits right in that mauve family. The cream stick formula gives a natural, slightly radiant finish that mimics real skin.
It blends easily with fingers or a brush and works beautifully on both cheeks and lips for a cohesive look.
