I’ve tried and swatched an unimaginable number of blushes as a beauty writer, and Youthforia’s BYO Blush is the first to truly leave me speechless. The oil-based blush initially appears green in color upon looking at its packaging, but its plant-based formula reacts to your skin’s pH level, creating a custom color for each person that applies it.

My particular color of BYO Blush was a rosy red when applied to my cheeks. Using the accompanying applicator brush, I was able to dab on color to the points of my face that needed some rosiness. Unlike other liquid blushes, I didn’t find the formula to be runny and it also didn’t leave behind streaks. For a more precise blend, you could also use a sponge or brush.
Not only was the application easy to handle, but the blush features beneficial ingredients for the skin, like rosehip oil, sunflower oil, and avocado oil. My sensitive skin did not react negatively to the formula and I didn’t feel as if the liquid sat heavily on the face. I felt that the color was a natural-looking flush and it retained its vibrancy throughout the day, even when wearing and removing a face mask.
