The arrival of Rhode in Spain was one of the most anticipated beauty events of the season, and there were some products that had an advantage from the start. Treatments to achieve the famous glazed skin, its lip balms and, above all, the Pocket Blushes had become coveted items long before we could easily buy them in our country.
Among all the shades of its cream blush there is one that stands out especially: Toasted Teddy. In its launch in Spain, this viral blush and good-face effect has become one of the first to sell out at Sephora. Truth be told, it isn’t surprising. It is a super flattering shade that you can wear in winter as well as in summer. We could say that it sits right in that middle ground between blush and bronzer that makes the skin look naturally more luminous.
In addition, its creamy and buildable formula helps the result stay fairly transparent. Instead of leaving an obvious layer of pigment, it allows you to add color gradually until achieving that sun-kissed cheek effect that also works well during autumn months.
The bad news is that getting Toasted Teddy isn’t always easy. The good news is that this shade can be found in a similar way with other brands. There are several blushes that move within a very similar color range and can be a good alternative while it becomes available again.
Alternatives to Rhode’s viral blush
Colorete en crema Flush Balm de Merit.
Merit Flush Balm Cream Blush
For those who prefer a softer and more natural result, Fox by MERIT is a particularly interesting alternative. It is a warm shade with a mix of brown and pinkish undertones that blends with the skin without leaving an overly obvious effect.
It isn’t an identical shade but it does leave a very similar effect. It has that slightly bronzed touch that makes the blush blend very well into the face. Its creamy and translucent formula also works in its favor, because it allows you to build the color gradually while preserving the visible texture of the skin.
Colorete Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush de Fenty Beauty
Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush
If what you like most about Toasted Teddy is that reddish note that prevents the terracotta from simply looking like a bronzer, Summertime Wine by Fenty Beauty is an alternative to keep in mind.
It is a light, translucent, and buildable cream blush, so when worked in small amounts it leaves a color veil much more natural than its appearance in the compact might suggest. Fenty also notes that the texture blends with the skin and resists both water and sweat.
Colorete en crema de Prada
Prada Cream Blush
A good alternative is the Mauve shade from the new Prada Touch. It is a velvety color with a cool undertone. This blush features a hybrid formula that shifts from cream to powder, blends easily, and leaves a soft matte finish, in addition to promising up to 12 hours of wear. It can also be used on lips and eyes to create a monochromatic makeup look.
Colorete Light Peach de Chanel
Chanel Light Peach Cream Blush
Light Peach from Chanel can be a good alternative. That said, we’re not looking at an identical shade. It is a light apricot color that brings a lot of brightness to the apples of the cheeks. Les Beiges Eau de Blush has an ultra-light formula composed of 75% water and uses pigment microbubbles that melt on contact with the skin. The finish is translucent and buildable, with that effect of cheeks slightly blushed that seems to emerge from the skin itself.
Light Peach thus works as the clearest peach interpretation of Toasted Teddy, especially interesting for fair skin or for those who want a discreet and luminous result rather than a pronounced terracotta.
