Huda Beauty's first powder blush arrived as a palette, and it is really a blush and highlighter in one. The Blush Filter Blurring Blushlighters come as a limited-edition set of three matte powder blushes and one highlighter, with light coverage you can wear alone or swirl together.

Toasty Peach is a warm blend of peach, coral and golden terracotta. Rose Berry is a diffused blend of rosewood, mauve and dusty rose. Strawberry Latte runs creamy mauve, warm rose and espresso. Baby Pink is the soft cool one, and the name says it all. Other brands do the glow in a single pan or bottle. The Colorful Blush and Highlighter Glaze in Morning Blaze is a poppy pink shimmer powder that combines blush color with a luminizer. MAC Strobe Beam Illuminating Liquid Blush in Starlite is a rose gold with gold shimmer, a water-based gel with sheer, buildable coverage. Pat McGrath Labs Divine Cream Blush in Divine Rose Glow is a cool pink rose stick with a radiant finish, made with shea butter, squalane and passion fruit extract. bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Liquid Highlighting Blush rounds it out for a liquid that lights up the skin.

Pairing tip: use the matte shades on the apples and take the highlighter only across the top of the cheekbone.

What I would skip: shimmer on the apples if your skin is textured in daylight. Keep it high and small.

If you already like the way Blush Filter melts in, these liquids belong beside it. They share the soft, dewy or blurred finish and a doe-foot or teardrop applicator, so the habit is the same.

Saie Dew Blush in Dreamy is a bright berry liquid cream with plant-derived glycerin and a chunky doe-foot. Fenty Beauty Shake N' Play Liquid Blush in Fiya Papaya is a pink coral that builds from a hint of tint to bold color, and the brand says it is transfer-proof, waterproof and lasts up to 12 hours. Anastasia Beverly Hills Blurring Serum Liquid Blush in Baby Pink is a cool-toned pink with niacinamide and a blurring soft-matte finish. YSL Make Me Blush 12H Blurring Liquid Blush in Mischievous Magenta is a vibrant pink that dries like a powder. Patrick Ta Liquid Transition Brightening Blush is a lilac shade made to bridge the under-eyes to the cheeks. Laura Geller Serum Blush in Blushing Berry is a rich berry with hyaluronic acid and a cooling feel. 2Wins Naturally Radiant Liquid Blush and TYS Beauty Cheek Treat Liquid Blush in Juice are the two I would swatch in person.

How to wear it: one dot per cheek, blend outward, then add a dot only where you want more.

What I would skip: layering a liquid blush over a wet, dewy primer without a beat to set. It slides.

The trick with a huda beauty blush is to choose by mood before shade. Bubblegum and Cotton Candy read soft and sweet, Ube Cream is the unexpected pick, and Black Cherry is the one for a night out.

If you want the liquid alone, stay with Blush Filter. If you want a small glow on the top of the cheek, the blushlighter palettes give you both pieces in one compact. And if you love the finish but want another brand's take, the liquids in the last grid will keep the same habit.

Keep the rest of the face quiet, add a clear balm on the lips, and blend with a fluffy brush or a damp sponge until the edge disappears. Blush should look like it came from you, only a little more awake.
