As any beauty junkie will attest, not every drugstore blush rises to the occasion. Some drugstore blush picks fade within a matter of minutes, apply like chalk and end up looking more like clown makeup than a pretty, natural flush.

Luckily, we have our TotalBeauty.com reviewers. These dedicated beauty gurus have combed through the drugstore makeup aisles, writing beauty product reviews of every drugstore blush on the market.

These are the best drugstore blush picks: The ones that compare to their department store counterparts, offering all the perks of a pricy blush at a fraction of the price. Count down with us to find the No. 1 best drugstore blush. Your cheeks (and your bank account) will thank you.

Why it's great: Reviewers say the powder blush and bronzer in this affordable duo have a "lovely, imperceptible sheen to them." One reader writes, "For three dollars, you really can't get much better than this product." Others agree, adding that the colors are very "complementary," last all day and look very natural.
Most readers say that since the texture is quite powdery, it's a good idea to tap off extra product off your brush before applying. But overall, it's "quite worth the price."
