Three things the data tells us

Price drives volume

Blushes priced under $15 account for 58% of total units sold. Affordable brands like e.l.f. and Maybelline dominate by sheer accessibility, not quality perception.

Cruelty-free earns higher ratings

Cruelty-free brands average a 4.6 rating versus 4.4 for non-cruelty-free — a small but consistent gap that reflects a growing consumer preference for ethical beauty.

Cream formulas are surging

Driven by dewy-skin trends on social media, cream blushes now rival powder in popularity — despite historically being a niche format reserved for professional use.
