Clear Blush Is A Thing – But What Is It? Here’s All You Need To Know

Pink, peach, crimson, fuchsia – there's no end to the hues of blush we love. The instant brightener means it’s the product that you rely on to instantly wake up your face, even when sleep has evaded you. Applying a cream, powder, or liquid blush onto those cheeks can easily save any complexion. As beauty editors, we considered ourselves pretty well-versed when it comes to blush - we've tried a lot of them. So, imagine our surprise when espressOh Glassy Blush by the Glass,£23fell onto our TikTok For You page. Clear blush. Yes, you read that correctly. No colour. No hint of pink. See-through. Clear. Transparent. Are we being clear?

‘Clear blush,’ has clocked up over 45.5 million TikTok views, with beauty buffs all over the world swatching on the gel formula. Beauty content creator Elle McNamara, a.k.a. BamiDoesBeauty, was immediately impressed, ‘so far, it lives up to the name,’ she claimed in her video review. McNamara knows a good beauty product when she sees one. Flip back to earlier this month when she let us know how to get a full-sized bottle of baccarat rouge for just £75.
