Blonzers To Buy Instead Of Rhode's Toasted Teddy Pocket Blush

You can always trust queen Huda to give us melanated folks exactly what we need for getting our glam on point. The Huda Beauty Blush Filter comes in two new shades, Latte and Coco Loco for her new Icy Nude collection and are the perfect cross between a blush and a bronzer.

Latte is perfect for medium skin tones since its a brick brown with a slightly warm undertone. It has light reflecting pigments which will give your skin a subtle glow. And because it has Huda Beauty's filter technology, it will leave an airbrushed finish post blending as and when it sets.

This list will be incomplete without mentioning the OG blonzer which is the Nudestix Nudies Bronze All Over Face Color in the shade Sunkissed. It is a warm mid-toned bronzer shade with a rosy undertone that translates as the perfect bronzey blush on the skin. We love how natural it looks and how easy it is to blend on the skin because of the creamy formula.

The only blush this writer has managed to finish in her lieftime; the Makeup Revolution Superdewy Liquid Blusher has a lovely formula that feels like a thick liquid-cream blush with loads of pigment. The shade Blush Me Up will be the perfect blonzer for getting that wash of neutral colour on the cheeks, especially for the upcoming winters. The shade is a beautiful brick-toned terracotta, similar to Rhode's Toasted Teddy and would look lovely on most skin tones.

We have been dreaming about owning the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush and after spotting this new shade named Bronzed Glow, we are even more sold on investing in this expensive makeup product. This shade is a beautiful nude bronze with finely milled pearls that look stunning when applied. Additionally, since this blush is famous for giving you a customised colour when it reacts with the skin's moisture level and PH, you can be assured your blonzing game will be on fleek.

Beauty creators have a love-hate relationship with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Blush because of its ultra creamy formula. One lot loves how moisturising it is and how easily it melts into the skin for a light flush of colour, while the other half feels it doesn't have great staying power and needs to be layered more than one would like. If you belong to the former squad, try the shade Peach Caramel for a warm wash of caramel-esque colour on the cheeks.

This cream blush shade from e.l.f. Cosmetics's famed putty range reminds us of all things fall with its stunning orange-toned rich brown hue. The shade banks on the orangey-red tones which we really like since it gives it a more coppery hue, something that would look great as a blonzer on most Indian skin tones. However, it is loaded with tiny shimmers which gives it a luminous finish which can can be a bit extra if you layer on too much.

Pro tip: Best fall lipsticks tested by the crew

M.A.C Glow Play Cushiony Blush is that girl in the league of blushes. The formula is unlike anything else in the market. It is a bouncy, buildable blush that provides glowy colour to the skin, while also blurring the appearance of pores and fine lines. The pigmentation is more on the sheer to medium side but because its so lightweight, it builds up in a breeze. The shade Ginger Luck was recently launched and is described as a 'medium smoky peach'. The flush of warmth it gives to the cheeks looks beautiful and makes you want to flaunt it by saying 'Thanks, its M.A.C' (iykyk).

For those who love a good terracotta blush, the Terra blush from Benefit deserves a try! The colour is a stunning brick red which will look absolutely whimsical on medium to deep Indian skin tones. It has a golden sheen present in the formula that gives the skin a healthy glow when it reflects light. Silky-soft on the skin, with an ultra-fine, creamy-feeling powder, it builds up amazingly well on the skin for giving that perfect sunkissed look.

For folks wanting to start their blonzer journey but without much commitment, get your hands on Insight Cosmetics's super affordable liquid blush in the colour Berlin Brown. It's a light caramel colour with a peachy undertone that would suit fair to medium skin tones really well. It's very pigmented so you need the slightest amount for a natural flush of colour.
