It’s been years since Dior’s Rosy Glow Blush entered the beauty hall of fame. And it’s exactly why you’d be familiar enough with the product (whether you’ve actually used it yourself or not) to know that more than likely, it’s currently sold out. Think you can just drop into Sephora and pick up a palette? Nice try. What about trying your luck at Myer? Don’t hold your breath.
The truth is, good things don’t say secret for long. Particularly not once TikTok finds out. It’s for this reason that we love keeping several readily available (and worthy) dupes up our sleeve.
Oh, and you’ll be saving some cash in the process. See? The wins are endless.
The best Dior Backstage Rose Glow Blush dupes
L’Oréal Paris True Match Blush in ‘Rosy Cheeks’
We say: Similar to Dior’s cool-toned pink, L’Oréal’s version offers a buildable formula for a subtle finish or a more intense flush of colour.
You say: “It gives just a hint of neutral colour so it’s perfect for daytime wear and will match with most lipstick shades (big bonus for me). It also gives a beautiful luminosity without any glitter. This blush is smooth to apply and looks great for hours. I just love it.” – Cat lover

Maybelline Fit Me Blush in ‘Pink’
We say: Available in four natural shades, we recommend Maybelline’s ‘Pink’ if you’re eager to recreate a soft flush that’s comparable to Dior’s popular product.

Kylie Cosmetics Pressed Blush Powder in ‘Winter Kissed’
We say: Although the finish is far more matte than Dior’s, this stunning pop of pale pink will bring a similar long-lasting flush.

essence Mosaic Blush in ‘Berry Connection’ / essence The Blush
We say: Do you want the good news or the bad news first? Ok, let’s start with the good. This $3.99 blush won a blind vote against the Dior original. Beauty YouTuber Kait Gardner (also known as @stateofkait) tested out the two side-by-side with most voters revealing they couldn’t tell the difference, while an additional poll showed that 57 per cent of respondents believed the budget blush was Dior.
Now for the bad news: it’s since been discontinued. Why? We’ll never know. However, essence have another blush that has been touted as delivering a similar colour pay-off and it’s under $6.
$5.49 at Target

Have you tried either of these blushes? Do you know any other good dupes?
The Dior one is a bit more shimmery, but colour wise they’re a pretty good match.
I think I prefer the coral version. Dior are releasing more shades this year.
I prefer a more toned down look with a neutral shade
Blush is something I usually skip applying. I’m always running out of time.
That shade is a bit light for me. Not that I use blush every day.
I would not use any of those colours. Blush just doesn’t look right on me and I suck at applying it anyway
I use my lipstick as a blush. Happy with the result.
Lovely ones here to try.
I do have the original. There is something about it. It gives this beautiful natural flush to the skin and seems to build based on your natural colouring .
They both look lovely on her, I wear makeup so infrequently it takes a couple of years to get through blusher.
Yes and eye shadows too lol
Dior is so special to have thoughj
I’m still using a blush I bought thirty years ago. I just don’t use it much…
Blush just lasts so long, the colour on you is the most important element
