It’s been years since Glossier’s Cloud Paint hype, but the blush obsession still hasn’t slowed down. Every other millennial makeup brand seems to be trying to make its own mark in the cheek color world, with many of them going at super steep prices. Unfortunately, not all of us have the luxury of an Instagram-girl budget. But hey, we make do.
Plenty of alternatives provide the same results for a reasonable price tag and you don’t have to pay international shipping fees to get them. At the end of the day, blush is blush. Check it out!
