I had only ever owned powder blushes, which of course are great. I then recieved a Nyx cream blush in an Ipsy bag when I was still subscribed to it, and having tried it out several times since then I can safely say I very much love cream blushes. This one is in the shade Boho Chic, and is a lovely peachy-pink color that suits my skin tone perfectly.
What I like best about a good cream blush is that when you're going for a dewy or glowy look, like I often do, a cream blush will suit that look best. Powder blushes tend to mattify the cheeks, which isn't what you always want when going for that dewy look. A cream blush will keep the glow in place, along with adding its subtle pop of color.
I tend to apply with my fingers, though you can dot it on your cheeks and blend out with a beauty blender or other preferred tool of choice. And, just like with all blushes, a little can go a long way.
I really love cream blushes, especially Nyx ones, as they're affordable yet amazing. I recommend trying one of theirs if you've never tried a cream blush before.

not really a blush wearer but this looks stunning!

It is! Thank you :)
DeleteI really like NYX cream blushes too, the formula is so lovely and easy to blend <3 xo
ReplyDeleteThey really are! I want to get more.
DeleteReally like the look of this but I'm just not a fan of cream blushes at all - blending is such a pain!

I imagine they wouldn't work for everyone, like most products. I'm sorry they don't work out for you :c
DeleteI have only ever owned one cream blush and it just didn't work for me, powder blushes all the way!

This is still my first, I'd love to try some more and get a better judgment of them. But I know they won't work for everyone! Thanks for replying c:

I'm not sure which I prefer yet, I can't choose. It is very nice, though :)
