## Questions

**Which blush works for sensitive skin?**

bareMinerals Blush has the best record (22 of 22), followed by Saie Dew Blush (14 of 14) and Clinique Cheek Pop Blush (12 of 12). None of those three had a miss, so their order follows how many shoppers stated a result. Every record on this page rests on a modest group, so treat small gaps with caution.

**How do I try a new blush if my skin is sensitive?**

Skin reacts differently, so patch test a new blush first. Put a little on a small area, such as along your jaw, and wait a day before using it on your cheeks. Stop using anything that stings, itches or turns red, and if a reaction burns, swells or doesn't settle, ask a dermatologist. The records here are what other shoppers with sensitive skin reported, not a promise for your skin.

**Does Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush work for sensitive skin?**

It did well: 18 of 19 shoppers with sensitive skin said it did not irritate or break them out. That puts it just under the three blushes with perfect records, even though more shoppers stated a result for it than for Clinique Cheek Pop Blush (19 against 12).

**Which of these blushes are sold on Amazon?**

Clinique Cheek Pop Blush and Tower 28 BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush are sold on Amazon by the brand or Amazon itself, and so is the leader, bareMinerals Blush, which is also the best pick sold on Amazon. Saie Dew Blush, Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush and Benefit Benetint Cheek Stain are sold there through third-party sellers, so check who the seller is.
