Details & care
What it is: A creamy, mistake-proof cream blush stick that gives cheeks a natural-looking flush of color with a soft, fresh glow. No mirror required.
What it does: The blush is a creamy, blendable blush that melts into skin and lasts all day. It builds easily from a sheer cream blush tint to a more vibrant, buildable blush color that layers effortlessly with foundation. The lightweight, oil-free formula gives skin a natural, healthy-looking glow that's never greasy. The stick design is great for makeup on the go. It swivels up with ease—no sharpening required.
How to use: Dot or swipe the blush onto apples of cheeks. Fingertip-blend along cheekbones toward the hairline for a natural-looking, luminous finish. Build for more intense color. Perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.

Favorite stick blush
This blush in the color “plumped up peony” is absolutely STUNNING. It goes on so smooth, blends out nicely and is easily buildable. You don’t need much at all, you literally just need a little swipe then blend it and it looks so good. I’ve always used stick blushes and this one is my new favorite. I’ve already recommended it to all my friends and will definitely be repurchasing it when it eventually runs out. I received this product for free from Clinique for testing and review purposes.

Nope!
Nope, not for oily skin. Please bring back the gel blush/ CliniqueFit Cheek Flush. Not loving the discontinuation of so many products either not being replaced or being replaced with inferior product. This product is like trying to use lipstick as blush.

Natural blush for cheeks and lips
The color was a nice brickish red that sheers out to plum red on cheeks. Creamy to apply and settles in to skin with no patchiness. No scent and non drying, the blush can be used for lips to match. Made in Belgium, so that price pays for quality made in Europe. I received this product for free from Clinique for testing and review purposes.

Such a good formula
Clinique Chubby Stick Cheek Color Balm is easy to apply and blends quickly. It gives a soft, natural color that looks fresh and not too heavy. The creamy formula feels light on the skin and is great for everyday wear or quick touch-ups on the go. I received this product for free from Clinique for testing and review purposes.

Great product with only a minor complaint!
I’ve been using this most mornings because it’s super quick and easy. I like to swipe a little on my cheeks and then blend it with my fingers, and the creamy texture melts in nicely without feeling heavy or sticky. It seems to give a soft, natural kind of flush that works for everyday life. My only reservation/complaint is that I wish the color lasted a bit longer on my busier days. However, it is still great for touch ups. I liked that there was not a strong scent as well unlike some other products I have tried. Overall, really pretty and convenient and would be willing to get again!

Perfect for on the go!
I received this product for free from Clinique for testing and review purposes. I am so happy with this product. Blush is my favorite part of my makeup routine and this really makes it so easy. It goes on smooth and blends so naturally. It’s great to keep in your bag for a touch up in the middle of the day.

Lovely color, nice consistency
It has a nice creamy consistency that doesn’t seems heavy. The pigmentation could be better. Ir feels light but it can build up with multiple layers. I like it for daily use, adding a touch of color easily
