## Should you buy this?

A sheer, buildable gel-cream blush in a squeeze tube, formulated without fragrance, £24 for 10ml. Choose it for a diffused flush applied with fingers; ten blush shades is a narrower range than some liquid blushes.

Skip this if you want a long-wear or matte blush, a wide shade range, or a powder texture (that is the separate Plush Blush).

A gel-cream flush with a diffused edge — tap in a small dot and build, so colour reads as warmth rather than a stripe.

## The formula

Cloud Paint is Glossier’s gel-cream blush: a squeezable, sheer-to-buildable colour with soluble collagen and blurring powder pigments, which the brand says gives a soft, diffused finish.

Glossier describes it as formulated without fragrance and dermatologist-tested. Blend and wear descriptions are the brand’s, not a Cast Index test.

## Who it’s for

Readers who apply blush with fingers and want a sheer wash that builds, on skin that prefers a cream to a powder. Oily skin may want to set it lightly.

## What should you check before buying?

The tube dispenses quickly, so start with a small dot. Ten blush shades is a narrower range than some liquid blushes; check swatches across skin tones. Buy from uk.glossier.com or an authorised retailer.

## How to use it

1. Squeeze a small dot onto a fingertip
2. Tap onto the cheek and blend the edges outward
3. Build a second layer only once the first has settled
