When a Cheerful Child is being cute, often they'll have what appears to be blush on their cheeks, except that instead of being drawn as a circular gradient like you might expect, the blush appears as a flat horizontal oval with little or no shading, almost as though they just put a sticker on their cheek. Sometimes the blush even goes past the edge of their cheek and sits half on their cheek and half in the air.
A character may have one or two Blush Stickers regardless of whether it's symmetrical. Sometimes, blush stickers are even permanent. It's also popular on dark-skinned characters whose blush might be otherwise hard to see.
Expect these characters to be prone to the Crush Blush.
Compare Luminescent Blush. Either one may also be used to indicate drunkenness or, in the case of Hentai and Ecchi, arousal.

Subverted with Chao Lingshen. What appears to be Blush stickers are actually part of a Tron LinesMarked Change, and the rest is just under her clothes and hair.
Also Zect, who is a very old and powerful demon, easily recognized as such by denizens of the magic world.
Love Hina: Shinobu occasionally has them, and Su has them all the time.
Pani Poni Dash!: Just about everyone, especially in their chibified forms; it's normally seen with Mesousa, however.

Last Ordernote Aka Mini Misaka has them permanently equipped. Except when telling Accelerator he doesn't suck and later when dying of some kind of computer virus.

The main character of Kamichu! has these a lot of the time, too.
Niea and Karna from Niea_7 have very prominent ones, which seems to be an alien thing.

In "Sailor Moon", during a flashback to Rei's childhood in episode 183, Rei is shown with blush stickers.

Kanisawa Kinu, from Tsuyokiss, has these permanently.
In The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks, Link gains some, although they are only visible on his map sprite-symbol and in certain cutscenes. This is the second notable trait that sets him apart from the, otherwise identical, Link from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, the first being the lower pitch of his voice.
In Persona 4, Ayane. To the point where it's a fandom joke that every time she actually blushes, she's closer to evolving into a Pikachu.

Some ports of Clock Werx have Stop MotionCutscenes in which the protagonist sports these—and they really are an extra layer of pink clay stuck to his face.
Michelle Flammel from Monsterful is an exaggerated example. She's an Homunculus girl with a permanent blush as one of her trademark features; this blush may even be combined with a different blush to create a Double-Blush when she's actually feeling shy or nervous. Even when she transforms into the PHC (Psychotic Homunculus Cyborg) and half of her face becomes robotized she sports a robotic light permanent blush.
