What the gurus are saying

This balm blush earns consistent praise for sheering out into a naturally luminous flush that requires minimal blending effort. Gurus highlight that the hydrating balm texture and buildable color make it nearly foolproof, especially for those new to blush or preferring a subtle, skin-like finish. The one caveat: anyone with oily skin or who likes a matte, placement-specific blush may want to try it first, since the moisture and glow can feel heavy on already-slick skin.

"The Merit Flush Bomb in Beverly Hills is the only blush I have fully emptied and needed to repurchase. It's easy to use with my fingers or a brush alone or with a full face and wears off in a natural, healthy way. I wear it almost every day. It's really cute packaging too. [...] Perfect for travel where I can just scribble on my cheeks or be more intentional and apply with a brush and no need for extra highlighter with that gorgeous glow from the bomb formula."
✓Yay
"This is one of Merit's flesh blush minis, [...] in the color bespoke. These are absolutely fabulous blushes and I do like to reapply them because they're not the most long-lasting, but they are like the most natural, and sometimes I throw them on my lips too."

I don't want to draw attention to my cheeks. I just want them to look sort of healthy and blend with the rest of my makeup. Thank you to Merit for creating these blushes that are absolutely no fail."

"Merritt's Flush Blush was the first blush I could apply with confidence. I was terrible at blush. I always overapplied. Didn't apply it in the right place. It always just looked like I was a clown. Merit has completely changed my approach to makeup. They were the first brand that turned me on to this minimalist makeup look that could look really subtle but absolutely gorgeous on my mature skin."
MINIMALIST MAKEUP
"This is the Merit Flush Balm in Bespoke. My favorite thing about these Merit blushes is they're no fail blushes, like literally you cannot mess this up. I've been using this as a bit of contour along my cheekbone, just really subtle contour along my cheekbone, and kind of playing around with contouring a little bit on my forehead and then a little bit along my jawline."

"I always have a lip to cheek product in my arsenal. This is the one by Merit, their Flush Balm in the color Beverly Hills. It's kind of a nice rosy color. I put it in the traditional spots and then blend it up under my eye area. I love the Merit because it just gives that minimalist look and it's so easy to apply. I can overdo the blush, so I've been blending it up under my eye area very subtly to kind of blend that demarcation between my under eye area and my face."

"I picked the color online and it was an amazing success, the Beverly Hills color is so pretty, and I think it works for all skin types, cool tone or warm tone. It does take a little technique though, since it's not as pigmented as other products so you can end up removing your base if you're not careful, though I never do it that way myself. This one is pretty good."
✓Yay
"I've been really liking this blush. I think it's really really pretty. [...] The actual blush itself, like the way that it's made, the component really does allow for you to just sort of dab it on, which is nice. So if you're one of those dab it on and go kind of people, it's really good for that."

So Sephora's having a sale... What to skip & what's actually WORTH IT
"I'm obsessed with it. You can shear it out nicely. It is a balm, so it's a bit hydrating. So if you are someone who tends to be a little bit more on the oily side and you like your blush to be very much on the apples of the cheeks, you might want to skip it because it might just be a little bit too much for you. But since I wear my blush out here, it's totally fine. It works so beautifully and it really creates a beautiful hydration to the face. It really does create a flush, a beautiful flush."

"I just started using them because I just got the PR box this morning or yesterday, really beautiful, very hydrating to the outer corner of the eye and then just blending into the rest, very beautiful. [...] They're balmy, they are balmy, it's kind of crazy how balmy they are."

"I use one of their flush balms every single day. I'm currently using the shade Fox, and I also really like Pimon, and there's one called Cheeky. They offer a very beautiful light color, but you can build upon it, add a couple of layers of it, do a couple of coats of it to get a stronger color payout. I love it. It's easy to blend in with your fingers. You don't need a brush. They do sell a brush, but you don't necessarily need one. You can just use your fingers."

"The color is really really nice, it's just kind of a nice natural flush of pink. Blends beautifully either way, fingers or brush. So pretty. These products definitely all have a glow to them, they make your skin look luminous and lit from within, makes it look very youthful. And because they are so luminous, I feel like you don't even need highlighter."
✓Yay
"I love the Beverly Hills cream blush because it's such a unique color that matches my skin so well because it's an earthy kind of peach tone. [...] This is about as foolproof as a blush can possibly get. It blends out really effortlessly, you can just dab and it blends out into this natural looking flush. [...] A lot of cream blushes have a powdery finish whereas this has a satin one, which I much prefer."
✓Yay
"I'm going to use the flush balm in the shade Beverly Hills. Your blush is going to go down like this, which is going to add length. If you want to make your face look wider, imagine an invisible line from your nostrils to the bottom of your ear or to midway off your ear. We're going to do a little bit more color here going across this way and we can take it right in."

"This is Merit Flush Balm, and this is such a versatile shade. This is red, but it does have a slight deepness to it, so it's not going to be in your face pure bright red. And it's buildable, so that's a good thing about red, or with this one at least we can start small and then build up. So if we are a little bit scared, we can take our time. It doesn't have to be that intense or that scary. And the texture of this is really, really natural. [...] It looks super glossy on the skin as well."
✓Yay
