The best blushes give a lit-from-within, healthy-looking glow — something we all strive for with our makeup. A bad blush gives a streaky, sparkly, clownish look — not attractive. Luckily, our reviewers have have helped us narrow down the best blushes on the market. They've tried tons of blushes, and we're sharing their favorite picks. The best part? Our readers guarantee you won't look like you're auditioning for the circus when you reach for one of these top ranked blushes. (Just remember to use a real blush brush with all of them, not the little ones that come in the package, OK?)

E.l.F has great blush options and very low prices!

Really Total Beauty? You pretty much represented every major drug store and department store brand. Even Mary Kay. This was more of a listing to what's available than what represents the best.

Quite a range of blushes here; I agree with most. Perhaps I am the only woman on the planet who isn't crazy over Nars' blush. It's a good shade, but I've had better from other companies. Whoops--I'm about to be tarred and feathered!

I don't use much blush due to my mild rosacea, but when I do I still use the same line of CoverGirl blush I used as a teenager years ago... works for me. I'd be curious to hear what makes a BAD blush.

Where do you get the price for the Jane blush? I'm looking for it and the cheapest I can find is $28, which I'm not paying for just a blush.

I like Estee Lauder blush in mocha rose, its pretty modest and subtle.

Honestly, I still don't know how to use blush!

Mac has great variety of blushes to choose from and the price is not bad so I always come back for more.
