Skin tone: Light with yellow undertone (not super pale)
Personal color: Probably spring warm 🌼
Makeup style: Soft and girly but not too loud — I like glow, not glitter bombs!

Hi!! So blush has always been one of my favorite makeup steps. Even when I’m barely wearing anything else, I feel like a little bit of pink on the cheeks just makes me look alive (and cuter lol). I recently got super curious about pink shimmer blushes, especially ones that would go well with my tone — I think I’m a spring warm, since my skin has a bit of a yellow undertone and cooler pinks usually wash me out.

After doing way too much research on TikTok and Reddit, I picked out five pink blushes that looked shimmery but wearable. These are the five I tried (in order of swatches from top to bottom in my pic)

1. Canmake Glow Fleur Cheeks P01 (Japan)
2. Hince True Dimension Glow Cheek
3. Naming x Wonjeongyo Japan Limited Edition
4. Dior Rosy Glow in Tutu
5. Banila Co Sugar Bloom Bouncy Blusher

Let’s break it down! 🫧

✨ Canmake Glow Fleur P01
The color is soft pink with a gentle shimmer, but don’t let the “natural” vibe fool you — it actually shows up really well on the skin. It’s not one of those blushes that disappear after one swipe. It blends like a dream and gives you that perfect everyday flush. The shimmer is fine, almost invisible unless you catch the light just right.

🩷 Best for: fair to light spring tones, especially if you want a pretty flush without going overboard.
🩷 Wear time: decent (around 4–5 hours on my combo skin).
🩷 Vibe: Fresh-faced and sweet, like you just walked out of a picnic.

✨ Hince Glow Cheek
This is really similar to Canmake in color but with a slightly more “grown-up” texture. It has that signature Hince glow — soft but noticeable. I liked how it layered, and it gives a very subtle dimension to the cheekbones. It’s one of those blushes you can build without looking powdery.

🩷 Best for: spring warm to neutral tones.
🩷 Wear time: lasts a bit longer than Canmake, like 6 hours.
🩷 Vibe: Polished but not too serious — perfect for school days or hanging out.

✨ Naming x Wonjeongyo (Japan-only)
This one surprised me! It’s a deeper pink with a rose tone and the shimmer is more bold — not chunky, but definitely eye-catching. Compared to the first two, this has more of a K-pop stage makeup feel. I like wearing this when I do a full face or want my blush to pop a little more.

🩷 Best for: warm neutral tones or even muted spring types. Might be a bit strong on very fair skin.
🩷 Wear time: strong! Almost all day.
🩷 Vibe: Confident and trendy. The shimmer gives it that "I did my makeup today" look.

✨ Dior Rosy Glow in Tutu
Okay… I finally get why people hype this one up. It’s so reflective! The shimmer is the most visible of the bunch, but in a very “expensive skin” way. The pink is softer than Naming, a little muted but still brightening. It gives my face that soft glam glow. Definitely one I reach for when I want my makeup to feel a little fancy or “main character.”

🩷 Best for: spring and summer tones who like glam.
🩷 Wear time: great — 7+ hours.
🩷 Vibe: Romantic and glowy. Definitely a “I’m wearing Dior” moment.

✨ Banila Co Sugar Bloom
So cute in the pan! This is the coolest-toned pink of the bunch, and it applies more like a shimmer veil than a full-on blush. I actually use this as a blush topper sometimes. The texture is bouncy and fun (kinda like a Colourpop super shock). If you're warm-toned like me, it can look a little too cool alone, but layered over a warmer base blush — SO pretty!

🩷 Best for: cool tone girls or anyone looking for a shimmer pop.
🩷 Wear time: medium. Fades a bit after 4–5 hours.
🩷 Vibe: Youthful, playful, almost like a highlighter-blush hybrid.

✨ Final Thoughts ✨

Honestly, I think personal color is becoming a huge deal even here in the US, and I totally see why. Some of these blushes that looked sooo pretty on influencers just didn’t vibe with my tone IRL. For my yellow-toned, maybe-spring-warm face, my top picks were Hince and Canmake — both made me look fresh without clashing with my undertone. Dior was GORGEOUS but something I’d use less often. Naming was more dramatic but great for special days. Banila was fun, but I have to work a bit to make it wearable.

Let me know if you’ve tried any of these — and I’d love recs for blushes that work for warm teens like me!
