Frequently Asked Questions

Is cream blush better than powder blush?

Well, it’s all about your textural preferences, as both cream and powder blush formulas have their time and place. That said, cream blush formulas generally contain oils, making them comparatively more moisturizing than their powdery counterparts (take note, dry skin types), and won’t disturb dry spots or highlight textured areas of the skin. These balmy, putty-like formulas don’t highlight fine lines or seep into wrinkles like powder-based formulations, so they’re also a great flush-enhancing alternative for mature skin types.

How should I apply cream blush?

First, finding a complimentary shade to your skin tone is key for a natural-looking finish. As a rule of thumb, Los Angeles-based makeup artist Carissa Ferreri previously told Allure that she recommends using a cream blush (or gel) formula in rosy tones. Once you find your shade of preference, it’s time to dab on your cream-based blush. “Focus the blush a bit higher on the cheeks, like right under the eyes, and then diffuse any harsh lines,” she explained. Joseph Carrillo, a makeup artist based in New York City, also suggests “smiling and applying the color in the center of the apples” before gently fading the edges.
