The one that started it all, NARS The Multiple in Dolce Vita has been occupying makeup bags since before ‘multi-use’ was even a category. A peachy-nude-pink that works as a blush, highlighter, eyeshadow and lip colour, its creamy texture melts into skin with the ease that makes you wonder why you ever owned all those separate products. The finish is luminous and just-woke-up good.

This isn’t your average highlighter. The cream formula of this FAE must-have melts into the skin for a fresh-out-of-the-shower glow, without making your face look greasy or too glittery. Use it on your cheekbones, cupid’s bow, eyelids or literally anywhere you want to look dewier. Skin-loving ingredients like jojoba oil, vitamin E and avocado oil mean you’re basically treating your skin while making it look like a glazed donut.

Beam is a rosé champagne shimmer that delivers a lit-from-within glow without crossing into disco territory. Ultra-fine milled shimmer catches light beautifully, while avocado oil, jojoba oil and vitamin E nourish skin underneath it all. Kaolin clay keeps things dewy rather than greasy—a balance FAE Beauty gets exactly right. Swipe across cheekbones, eyelids, the brow bone or the collarbone if you're feeling generous with yourself.

For the person who likes a little warmth with their glow, KIRO Wonder Wand in Celestial Glow is a golden-toned highlighter that can be worn sheer for a subtle luminosity or built up when your evening calls for something more. The creamy formula blends cleanly without dragging or patching, offering smooth, seamless radiance wherever you put it.

Skin-friendly and genuinely wearable, the Diam Beauty All Over You Multistick in Valentine delivers a satin finish across cheeks, eyes and lips, and is formulated to be gentle on sensitive and acne-prone skin. The shade is a soft romantic wash that layers well—keep it sheer for a barely-there flush or build it up for a more intentional look. Either way, it reads beautifully.

A velvet, cloud-like finish that's also doing skincare work in the background, Akind One For All Multi-Tint in Prime Time is formulated with hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil and a peptide complex. This means your lips, cheeks and eyes are getting a nourishing treatment alongside the colour. It’s buildable, blurring and holds up through a long day without settling or fading oddly. Additionally, it’s barrier-loving.

Here’s where it gets interesting. The pH colour-shifting technology in FENTY BEAUTY Match Stix in Strawberry Pop means the shade adapts to your skin’s unique chemistry, giving you a personalised flush that looks like it was made for you—because it essentially was. Creamy, blendable and easy to keep in your bag for a mid-day touchup, the result this stick offers always looks like yours.

Stila’s Complete Harmony Stick is a multitasking staple that adds a soft flush to the face. The sheer, hydrating formula is enriched with vitamin E and nourishing oils, blending easily without patchiness. Once set, it’s transfer-proof and long-lasting, making it a low-maintenance option for everyday wear.

Sheer, buildable and effortless in the way that doesn’t require precision, the Stila Cosmetics Complete Harmony in Sheer Gerbera is a soft coral-pink that flatters a wide range of skin tones and sits lightly on the skin. Layer it on cheeks for a flushed, just-came-in-from-outside effect, or swipe onto lips for a pretty, low-maintenance wash of colour.

A blush balm with a texture that earns its name, the Too Faced Cloud Crush in Bed Of Roses has a whipped, cloudlike feel that melts into skin and leaves a soft, rosy flush behind. Blendable with your fingertips and buildable for more intensity, it’s a product that earns a permanent spot in your routine almost immediately. Bed Of Roses works across all skin tones and is particularly beautiful if you like your blush to look like it’s coming from within.
