Category: Beauty > Blush. Updated 2026-10-08. Based on 97 counted first-hand reports from Target shopper reviews, Dec 2017 to Oct 2026.

**Question:** Which blush lasts all day?

**Short answer:** NYX Professional Makeup Buttermelt Blush has the best record for all-day wear: 15 of 16 shoppers said it was still visible on their cheeks after many hours. e.l.f. Putty Blush follows at 11 of 13 and e.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush at 8 of 10. e.l.f. Sheer For It Blush Tint has the weakest record here at 11 of 15. Three of the four are e.l.f., and each blush rests on a small group of reviewers, so treat the gaps as hints.

**What stands out:** Fading is the repeat complaint on the e.l.f. blushes: 28% of Camo Liquid Blush reviews, 14% of Putty Blush reviews and 10% of Sheer For It reviews say it fades fast. We counted wear on the cheeks and left out reviews about wearing the Sheer For It tint on the lips.
