The best blush for mature skin for a natural glow

It's the liquid blush wand many cheaper alternatives aspire to, but you can't beat the original.

Available in four shades, the sell-out Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand is really easy to apply - simply apply dots with the cushion applicator to your cheeks and then blend with your fingertips.

Providing a fresh glow of colour, the formula is infused with Lumi-Blur Technology for a smooth, soft-focus finish and film formers for a long-lasting effect.

Beauty fans loved that a little goes a long way, with some users noting that only one dot is needed for the application, so whilst this is a slightly more expensive option from the list, it may last longer than cheaper alternatives.

Whilst there is a selection of vibrant shades that suit various skin tones, picking the exact match can be a little tricky as some beauty lovers found that the shades slightly differ from the pictures. However, we recommend looking at the videos of models applying the blusher for a better colour gauge.

A favourite of beauty expert Simone's, this colour tint from 19/99 is perfect for adding a flush of colour to your lips and cheeks, and it's buildable for creating the intensity you wish.

The water-balm formula, available in four shades, is made with a complex of Vitamins A, C, and E, which supports your skin with collagen production to reduce the appearance of fine lines and protect against antioxidants.

Online beauty fanatics hailed the tilted applicator, which aids in precise application and is perfect for lips and cheeks.

While some customers found that this blusher was great for longevity, a few found it had unfortunately worn off by the end of the evening. However, we love that this comes in a blush pot that can conveniently be kept in your handbag for an easy top-up.

Available in eight vibrant shades, this stick from Jones Road can be applied to the lips and cheeks. But pick with caution as customers found the colours are very bright and need a lot of blending.

Providing a glossy, dewy finish, you can simply apply the creamy formula directly to the skin from the stick and tap in with your fingertips.

We particularly love that the formula is infused with castor seed oil, which contains Vitamin E and essential fatty acids. These oils restore the skin's moisture barrier and boost collagen production to help reduce hyperpigmentation and fine lines - perfect for mature skin.

Like the previous blush, customers found that this colour didn't last, but this stick can also be kept in your bag for a midday top-up.

If you want a cream blush that builds and blends easily, you can't go wrong with the REFY Cream Blush. And because it is highly pigmented, you only need a small amount to achieve the natural glow you're after.

With intense pigmentation, you have more control over the level of colour you apply. You can easily build up the colour for a more dramatic look or sheer it out for a subtle flush, giving you versatility in your makeup application.

Available in five shades, the blush is long-lasting, easy to apply and has a lovely, smooth consistency. It can be built for a deeper colour, and we found it worked well as a lip tint, too.

Infused with squalene, it has skin-smoothing and softening benefits that make it easy to apply.

With more than 1600 five-star reviews, this blusher is an affordable Charlotte Tilbury dupe, and whilst most customers found that the shades are uncanny, a few people found it a little more tricky to blend. But at a fraction of the price, this is an excellent purchase.

Highlighted by our experts as a great ingredient to find in blusher, the MAKEUP BY MARIO Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil includes hyaluronic acid, which plumps and hydrates the skin - perfect for a more mature skin.

The lightweight cream blush comes in six shades with pearlescent pigments for a glowy finish.

Customers have loved how blendable and buildable it is, as well as the ease of application without the risk of a streaky finish.

While most cream blushers are limited to a maximum of six shades, the ILIA Multi-Stick has a whopping 12 shades to choose from.

Designed to be used on the cheeks and lips, you can apply directly to the skin with the twist-up stick.

Easy to blend and build for a brighter pop of colour, this versatile product is also infused with shea butter that nourishes the skin and avocado oil that softens and replenishes the skin with antioxidants and fatty acids.

With a hydrating formula that adds a healthy glow to your cheeks, the By Terry Brightening CC Blush is enriched with white rose stem cells which help to eliminate toxins.

It's only available in two shades, but Melanie says, "My go-to is the Brightening CC Blush in Rosy Flash; it is buildable, offers hydration and looks perfect on bare skin." It has a natural, dewy finish, and some even found dual use for it as an eye shadow.

Although online reviews are somewhat mixed, with some customers finding it slightly challenging to use, we place our trust in the expertise of our specialist. However, it's worth noting that this product might be most suitable for individuals who are more confident in their makeup application skills.

Another fantastic budget find, the Max Factor Miracle Pure Moisturising Cream Blush adds a flush of colour with four shades available.

Infused with both hyaluronic acid and squalane, the lightweight, non-sticky formula is plumping, hydrating and skin-smoothing, making it an excellent choice for mature skin in particular.

Many customers were impressed with how pretty and buildable this colour blush was. This is great for versatility, enabling you to decide whether you want a more natural look or full glam.
