Glossier Cloud Paint Plush Blush Brings a Soft-Matte Flush to the Cheeks

— September 6, 2025 — Fashion
Glossier's fan-favorite Cloud Paint blush can soon be experienced in a fresh new powder format, Cloud Paint Plush Blush, that is buildable and useful for adding a pop of soft-matte color to cheeks. Launching in 10 shades, including four classic Cloud Paint hues and six all-new shades that pull inspiration from the many colors of a sunset, Glossier Cloud Paint Plush Blush delivers a perfect mix of shades that are eye-catching and natural.

These pillowy powder blushes are especially easy to apply with the Cloud Paint Dual-Ended Cheek Blush Brush, which has a retractable, tapered synthetic brush on one end, and on the other, a soft, non-absorbent silicone tip that mimics fingertips.

Gen Z's obsession with soft-matte makeup stems from its ability to blur imperfections while maintaining a natural, filter-like finish that aligns perfectly with their love for aesthetic minimalism and camera-ready skin.
