# Blush for oily skin

Source: HiveTried, https://hivetried.com/beauty/blush/for-oily-skin/
Category: Beauty > Blush. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 120 counted first-hand reports from Ulta and Sephora shopper reviews, Jul 2011 to Sep 2026.

**Question:** Which blush lasts on oily skin?

**Short answer:** Benefit Benetint Cheek Stain, a liquid lip and cheek stain, has the best record for oily skin: 16 of 16 shoppers said it lasted through the day without fading or sliding off, though that rests on a small group. Clinique Cheek Pop Blush follows at 19 of 22 and is the best pick sold on Amazon, since Benefit's stain is sold there by a third-party seller. Each record counts just shoppers who said they have oily skin.

**What stands out:** All three blushes with misses draw fading complaints on oily skin: 20% of Tower 28 reviews, 13% of Rare Beauty reviews and 10% of Clinique reviews. Those shares cover all of each blush's reviews, not just shoppers with oily skin.

Ranked by the lower bound of a 90% Wilson confidence interval, so a product needs a high share and enough reports to rank high. An Amazon link is shown only when at least 60% say it works.
