What the gurus are saying

The balmy, barely-there finish earns consistent praise for its flattering, natural glow without looking greasy, and the stick format makes it easy to apply on the go. The payoff is sheer and subtle, which gurus love for a fresh everyday look, though one reviewer notes it doesn't last as long as powder blush, so it works best for errands and touch-ups rather than all-day wear. A tiny amount goes a long way, and blending with a brush helps if you accidentally apply too much.

"My foundation still looks nice and intact underneath. It's very glowy, but it doesn't feel greasy. It has a bit of a thickness to it in terms of texture, [...] almost like creamy. It is cream. [...] This is beautiful. It has such a nice glow to it. [...] Without looking greasy. That [...] catches the light really beautifully. I really really like that. [...] These are quite good for like a makeup kit, imagine just stocking them up in your kit. How great is that?"

"This is Pixi On-the-Glow Blush in the color Juicy. And it is exactly what I need right now because it's sort of like this little ray of sunshine which I need to give to my face. I'm only using the tiniest bit. And I always focus it sort of here and up because my face is old and I don't want to drag anything down. [...] Sometimes it can look a little heavy if you put too much on. I go back in with my little foundation brush and just blend it in at the edge."

"The first is a blush this is by Pixi it's called On-the-Glow Blush it's like a blush stick. I picked this up recently in the states in a beautiful coral color which is called Juicy. I'm kind of obsessed with the coral thing at the minute and it just makes me happy it brings me joy and I find this fantastic. I think I have used this most days I'm wearing it now it's kind of subtle you can't really see it too much but it's so pretty gorgeous color love love love. I just love it yeah every day."

"This looks so cute, for a fresh look it's so beautiful. I also love the balmy finish that this gives, looks very fresh and healthy on the skin. I will say because it's more of a cream balm finish it doesn't have as much longevity as a powder blush does, but the way I've used this is more for the running errands kind of a look where you just want a little bit of a pinch cheek situation or a really natural pink lip."

THE BEST DRUGSTORE MAKEUP 2024!! 😍
"This is a pH tinted moisture stick so it actually adjusts to your body's pH and it turns the most perfect pink color. My only complaint with this is it doesn't last as long as I would want it to, but I think it's because it's got more of a balmy formula and those just tend to not last as long as a powder. I'm wearing this on the apples of the cheeks and it's most of the glow that you see here as well. I don't typically reach for this when I'm doing more glam looks like the one I have on today."
I Tried NEW Drugstore Makeup... YESSS 😍
"It really is actually the perfect size to just swipe on the cheeks and then as you can see it's just kind of slowly tinting into a really soft little pink color that's actually so flattering. It has like a balmy finish as well. I really like this. I liked everything about that so far. I'm glad I tried that. You can see the pH happening a little bit more on the lips. I love the balmy glow that it gives. That's so pretty."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Vitamin C

Topical vitamin C is an antioxidant with reasonable evidence for dullness and uneven tone. It breaks down in light and air, so how a product is formulated and packaged matters as much as the percentage on the front.

Sunscreen filters

Sun protection is the best evidenced way to slow visible ageing, and the filters are what does the work. Mineral and chemical filters both protect when a product is applied thickly enough and often enough, which is where most people fall short rather than on the choice of filter.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
