There are some beauty products that everyone raves about. However, I’m more intrigued by the lesser-known finds—the ones that quietly earn their status as permanent staples in your routine.
According to a Tarte staffer, Maracuja Juicy Cream Blush is the brand’s most underrated product. Shape Tape concealer is popular, but the cream blush is a sleeper hit.
Here’s why: According to the Tarte staffer and independent esthetician Elena Duque, Maracuja Juicy Cream Blush possesses three qualities that are crucial in a cream formula. Keep reading for the expert take on why Tarte’s cream blush deserves a spot in your makeup bag.

- Feels light on skin
- Very easy to apply and blend

1. Cream blush is hydrating
In general, cream blush is more hydrating than powder blush, but Maracuja Juicy Cream Blush really takes it up a notch. “What sets this cream blush apart from others is the inclusion of maracuja oil,” Duque says. “This ingredient not only adds a subtle glow to the skin, but also provides hydration and nourishment to keep the cheeks looking healthy and plump.”
Bonus: Duque notes that because it’s so moisturizing, it can also be used on the lips to keep your makeup look in sync. And who doesn’t love a multitasking product?
2. It blends well
Blending this blush into the skin makes the cheeks look subtly rosy, not splotchy or streaky. The creaminess of the formula makes it incredibly easy to apply and blend, giving a natural and dewy finish to the cheeks.
3. It has great color payoff
This blush has long-lasting power, stays put for hours without fading or patching, and the pigmentation is buildable. So if you start to hear more people buzzing about Tarte’s cream blush, don’t be surprised—it just means it’s finally getting the recognition it deserves.
