Is that enough? Instead of putting down the blush, you compulsively pat on even more. After all, in 2026, there’s no such thing as blush blindness, especially for Black women. “My first viral moment happened when I did a strong blush look on a dark skinned woman,” Ngozi “Esther” Edeme, a makeup artist known for transition blush told ESSENCE last year.
Since 2024’s blush boom, we’ve seen the cheeks of Black women turn every shade of pink. From Olandria and Ms. Lauryn Hill to Jodie Turner-Smith and Doechii, it’s true. Black women do blush. Whether it’s liquid, cream, or powder (and sometimes all three in one look), blush is the ultimate final touch to any makeup look. With summer around the corner, it’s the perfect time of year for your makeup to really go bigger, bolder, and of course, blushier.
Below, ESSENCE rounded up all the best pink blush for deeper skin tones this summer.
