10 Best Blushes for Mature Skin, According to Beauty Experts

When it comes to your makeup routine, a good blush can make all the difference—especially if you have dry, dull, or mature skin. “Mature skin tends to lose volume in the face as we age. Blush is a great way to add some volume and radiance back to the skin,” says celebrity makeup artist Emily Gray. But when choosing the best blushes for mature skin, what should you specifically look for?

Much like the best moisturizers and foundations for mature skin, experts agree you should prioritize hydration when choosing a blush, too. “Mature skin tends to be more dry as a result of reduced sebum production,” explains Brendan Camp, M.D., double board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology in New York City. “Hydrating ingredients like shea butter, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid can plump skin and help retain moisture.” Moreover, you should opt for lightweight, hydrating formulations like liquid or cream blushes, which easily “melt into the skin” without “accentuating wrinkles or fine lines,” says Randall Intrabartola, certified esthetician and makeup artist.
