Korean Blush

Korean blush is usually about a lifted flush—high on the cheeks, sheer enough that pores still show—rather than a heavy contour block. Searchers here want cheek color that plays with glass-skin bases, not lip stain and not CC cream.

• Texture: cream and liquid for a skin-like melt; powder for a softer, more set finish.
• Placement: apple of the cheek versus a higher, toward-the-temple sweep common in K-beauty looks.
• Color family: coral and peach on warm skin, cool pinks and berries when you want a colder flush.

Watch whether the product sheers out with fingers or needs a brush. Match the texture to the rest of your face makeup so cream does not pill over powder, then pick a shade that still reads as a flush in daylight.
