The Color Bloom is the liquid blush that put SHEGLAM on the map. Byrdie editors view it as a "benchmark for affordable liquid formulas," praising the easy-to-use sponge applicator and blendable formula that rivals Rare Beauty. The Sun called it "a perfect dupe for $23 Rare Beauty but better," and recogoods.com positioned it at one-quarter to one-fifth the price of comparable high-end options like NARS liquid blush.

The gel texture delivers high pigmentation with a matte finish that resists fading for 8+ hours. Marie Claire featured it for viral body makeup and celebrity looks, while pop star Zara Larsson and her MUA Sophia Sinot have been credited with using it. Marie Claire also recommended it as the essential alternative for replicating the Grammy 2026 sun-kissed blush aesthetic.

For everyday wear, dot a small amount on the apples of the cheeks and blend outward with fingertips or a damp sponge. The sheer-to-full buildability means one dot gives a subtle natural flush, while layering creates a bold pop of color. About 93% of purchasers find a shade that complements their complexion naturally across fair to deep skin tones.
