A FRIEND recently asked me what I use on my cheeks. As with everything I try on, different things go in rotation, but I have been wearing mostly cream blush lately because they’re just so easy; no brushes needed. Most of these I have written about before separately. Here they are if you are on the lookout for a new cream blush:
Sunnies Face Airblush
These have been really popular since their release earlier this year. Razz is a pretty raspberry color that I love for that young, flushed look like I have all the energy to run 5K. A little goes a long way, so you can dab a bit at a time to build up intensity. I pat this on the center of my cheeks then blend out to the cheekbones and a little across the nose.
NYX Cosmetics Rouge cream blush
This extremely pigmented blush is the most tacky to the touch out of all mentioned here, but it is still a favorite because it is incredibly long lasting, and still easy to blend. It also comes in a dozen shades and works great as an eye base for shimmery or sparkly eyeshadow that tends to have a lot of fallout.
Stila Convertible Color
This cream color compact has earned a cult following over the years. It doubles as a cheek and lip product, and comes with its own mirror for easy touch ups anywhere.
Shisiedo Accentuating Color Stick
This one might be hard to find unless you happen to be vacationing overseas. It is a similar formula and color to Razz Airblush, just in a stick form. I’ve had this one for a long time and it still looks and applies the same as when I first bought it.
