This lip and cheek stain was inspired by the bright, vibrant color of poppies. It comes in six shades (including one that adjusts to the pH of your skin to create a custom flush), and the creamy, smooth formula dries to a matte -- but not dull -- finish.
The good-for-skin ingredients in this multi-tasker were grown on Tata Harper's farm in Vermont. Spanish lavender and lipoamino acid technology help plump up skin, so the sheer, coconut fruit extract-infused blush and lip tint doesn't emphasize lines and pores. It goes on sheer, giving cheeks a healthy, dewy glow and imparting a subtle hint of color to lips.

The Cream Blush for Oily Skin
Nars Matte Multiple, $39
Fans of Nars' original Multiple rejoiced when they released this mattified version. The creamy formula dries to a soft matte finish, so your skin won't look chalky or shiny, and it lasts all day. Apply it dry for more color payoff, or wet to sheer it out. With seven stunning colors to choose from (three bronze-y and four pinks and reds), you'll want one in every shade.
These paraben-free, made-in-the-USA chubby sticks are highly pigmented, but easily blended, so dab onto lips and cheeks lightly and build up to your desired intensity. They also contain skin-plumping silicone powder and ceramidone to fill in lines and wrinkles.
The liquid-mousse formula of this stain quickly dries to a semi-matte finish, leaving no stickiness behind. If you're looking for something rich and pigmented -- but still blendable -- this is the one for you.
There's no better harbinger of spring-ready skin than flushed cheeks and just-bitten lips. But as the weather heats up, even the most perfectly applied blush and lipstick can start cruising down your face. These new multi-tasking lip and cheek colors pack a punch in the pigment department, blend easily and impart a long-lasting flush. But here's the kicker: In this new crop of lip and cheek tints, you'll find a few that give your skin that classic luminous, dewy glow, but if you're looking for something with a little less shine, check out the new formulations with a mattified satin finish.
