 Looking for a gorgeous glow without the aid of a tanning booth or those harmful UV rays? Want your cheeks to be sassily, well, cheeky with color? Then you need these five blushes. I've done the legwork and tested literally tons of different brands and models until I came up with this list. Each of the following five winners really do make cheeks look absolutely fabulous.
 Benefit Posietint
This is the one that really made me change my mind about blush once and for all. The liquid consistency really scared me at first -- I was convinced it would leave my cheeks looking and feeling like clown circles. But it's exactly the opposite. With only two tiny swipes with the brush, it leaves your cheeks with the absolutely perfect flush. Not too peach, not too red, not too pink ... just exactly right.

 NARS Super Orgasm Blush
Glitter. Glimmer. Glitz. This newly updated version of NARS' perennial favorite is just utterly gorgeous. The sparkle factor is totally high-wattage glamour, and the color is far from being too crazy pink or peach. How is it possible for one color to flatter each and every skin tone? I have no idea, but I swear it's possible. But this gold-flecked one is limited edition, so you'd best get your hands on it sooner rather than later!

 Tarte Cheek Stain
Nine different shades, from pale pink to deep red, mean your cheeks will be coated in color no matter how light or dark you're looking to go. I'm partial to Tipsy, a shimmery apricot, though there's also Flush (a sheer berry), Blushing Bride (plummy rose), Dollface (shimmery candy pink), Bronze Goddess (sparkly bronze) ... well, you get the picture. And the best part? They're all formulated with Tarte's signature t5 super fruit complex™, which contains tons of fruit extracts that really infuse the skin with everything perfect and fabulous.

 Smashbox O-Glow Intutive Cheek Color
Want a shade that's perfectly and uniquely your own? Well, then this is the way to go. The squeezy tube emits a clear gloss that reacts with your skin's chemistry to create a shade of pink that's utterly and only you. Now, you may be curious and downright skeptical. But not only have I tested it on myself, I've made each of my friends try it out too. And it really does make each of our cheeks look gorgeous -- and it's totally flattering and different on our skin tones! Definitely a keeper.

 LORAC Cheek Stamp
When I was growing up, I was fascinated by stamp tools. I used to play with them for hours on end, stamping hearts and stars all over every surface I could find. So this new creation, in which blush is found at the bottom of a silver tube that conveniently deposits onto a stamping sponge, is the newest invention that takes me right back to my childhood. I simply can't resist -- especially in Hibiscus, a gorgeous glittery rose!
