"Cream blush is the ideal formulation for my combination skin. I love Stila's in particular, and usually wear the Peony shade. But when it gets warmer, sometimes it's fun to go with this brighter pop of color like Poppy, which also works well as a lip stain." – Vanessa Lawrence, Features Writer

Stila Convertible Color in Poppy, $25, stilacosmetics.com.

“This shade works year-round; it's how I apply it that changes. I use it sparingly in the winter. Now that it's getting warmer—and I just got a spray tan—I go a little stronger.” – Jane Larkworthy, Beauty Director

Nars Blush in Orgasm, $30, narscosmetics.com.

“As an ex-Californian, I have finally come to terms with the fact that I no longer have a year-round tan. I've traded bronzer for blush, and embraced the look of rosy cheeks on pale skin. I love Per-fekt's Cheek Perfection Gel in Blushed. It goes on a bit bright, but layer a powder luminizer on top to tone it down, and you'll look like you're glowing from within.” – Mia Adorante, Associate to the Fashion and Style Director

Per-fekt Cheek Perfection Gel, $28, perfektbeauty.com.
