Good day, Lykkers! Blush sticks have become one of those makeup products I keep reaching for. The best ones are quick, easy to blend, and can usually double as a multi-stick for the cheeks, lips, or wherever a little extra color is needed.

There are also plenty of options at different price points, so I wanted to rank the three I've tried based on how much I personally enjoy using them.

1. NUDESTIX Nudies Blossom — $35

This one is my favorite of the three. I love both the finish and the pigmentation, especially because it gives the cheeks that pretty dewy look. I have oily skin, but I still really enjoy a dewy blush, and this one somehow works for me without feeling like too much. My favorite way to apply it is with a beauty blender. It blends into the skin really seamlessly and gives me the kind of finish I like. I do want to try applying it with a brush at some point because I'm curious how much more intense the pigmentation can look that way.

2. PIXI Fleur — $18

Okay, I definitely bought this one partly because I was influenced by other people's videos, but I'm actually glad I did. The pigmentation is seriously good, and it blends pretty easily for me. I usually use a beauty blender with this one too because I like the softer finish it creates. I've also seen people apply it with a brush, and the result looks gorgeous and much more pigmented. At $18, it's on the pricier side for a drugstore blush, but you get 0.6 oz, which is considerably more product than both the Nudestix and Ilia options.

3. ILIA Tenderly — $36

Tenderly has such a pretty natural pink shade. It's the kind of color that gives my cheeks a fresh, effortless look without being too much. The main difference for me is the pigmentation. I usually need a couple of swipes to get the intensity I want, while the Nudestix only takes one swipe. I still really like the finish, though, and anyone looking for a clean beauty option might want to give this one a look. At $36, it's actually the most expensive of the three, while also offering the smallest amount at just 0.15 oz.

Right now, Nudestix and PIXI are the clear favorites. I definitely want to try more shades from both because they're easy to use and fit nicely into my everyday makeup routine. ILIA Tenderly is pretty too, but compared with the other two, I'm not sure I'd reach for it nearly as often.
