Nicole Kidman has come a long way from the 16 year old that first hit our screens. And to be fair, there’ve been some beauty moments over the years that have divided fans (we stand on Nicole’s side of history).
But a few things have always remained the same: her iconic red tresses, her perfectly radiant porcelain skin — which she credits to a good skin care routine and of course sun protection. But we’ve always been curious as a rosy cheeked gal, how does she get her flush to be so perfect?
Well, we’ve got some secrets to spill, namely Nicole Kidman’s two favourite blushes. And one of them has been in our beauty bag the whole time!
Nicole Kidman Favourite Blushes

If you’ve been following along on Nicole’s rosy-cheeked adventures for a while now, we know her OG favourite blush (that lives in her handbag) is the iconic, multi-purpose Benefit Benetint Cheek & Lip Tint ($42 at Sephora). The lightweight liquid tint proves a seriously perfect flush of colour, plus, it doubles as a lip stain.
But in more recent years, Nicole has turned to celeb makeup artist Gucci Westman to do her glam for events, which has lead to a new fave flush. Unsurprisingly, it’s one of Westman’s own incredible creations: the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick ($73 at Westman Atelier). Nicole has two go-to shades in the creamy, ultra-pigmented blush, firstly the iconic Met Gala bold flush was thanks to ‘Poppet’, and her more neutral everyday shade is the peachy ‘Minette’.
The one thing these vastly different blushes do have in common however, they both transform lips and cheeks! We love to see a bit of versatility, especially when forking over the big bucks.

Do you have a favourite blush? Have you tried either of Nicole Kidman’s faves?
Not a fan of blush.
Neither am I
I’ve never tried either of these, though I’ve heard of benetint before.
I’ve given up on blush it just is too difficult to get it right
I am the same Chrystalage
Same, blush is not for everyone
Benetint is very good – easy to apply & looks natural.
I love benetint for my lips
interesting idea
I find the gucci blushes don’t last on my skin plus not very pigmented
They both look lovely
I am not a blush person
I have a DB Cosmetics creme blush which I love.
and super good value
The Westman Atelier looks amazing.
They are two of my favourites as well!
Nicole is so fair she needs blusher
Nicole is gorgeous, hope she does not go any more into filler territory. Her fair complexion is perfect, so blushes suit her. On me, never look right
I wish Nic would keep her hair natural. It’s beautiful.
Don’t mind a bit of blush, adds a bit of colour to my pale skin
Always good to have multi-purpose products
Oo that looks like a nice blush
I have to admit I’m still using the first blusher I ever bought. Which means it’s older than my teenagers…
I don’t use blush, never have, never will
She has changed too much now
A nice peachy blush is lovely
Sometimes i use my lipstick as a blush.I love to use blush as it lift appearance.
I prefer benetint for my lips rather than my cheeks
I have never really been a blush user. I’m pretty sure the one in my drawer is 30 years old.
I don’t use blush
I dont have a favorite blush, they are all often good, but i definitely have a favorite colour.
