We’re calling it: 2025 will be the year that the best powder blushes reign supreme. Unlike their denser sister formulations (as in, creams and liquids), powder formulas feature buildable pigments and sheer textures that are a breeze to apply, making them more forgiving and beginner-friendly. Just like their creamier counterparts, powder blushes are available in a vast selection of minimal mattes, stunning shimmers, and everything in between, with the benefits of not looking or feeling greasy by mid-day—even if you skip setting powder. Now, enough rambling and more rouging—below, our editors (and a few makeup artists) chat all things powder blush, including application tips and favorite products.

Why it's worth it: Don’t let the Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder Blush’s loose formula intimidate you, because this best seller is much more goof-proof than it lets on. Its four divided shades combine into one multidimensional pigment that glides on smoothly without any streaks or patches. “These look intimidating at first blush, but they diffuse over the skin so beautifully and almost blur while giving a nice flush,” says New York City-based makeup artist Kasey Spickard. Since each shade is super buildable, you can lightly swipe it on for a light, natural finish or layer it for a super punchy look.
