Cream blushers, liquid blushers and stick blushers
If you want to liven up your makeup, blusher is what you need. But did you know that besides powder blushers, there are also stick blushers, liquid blushers and even gel blushers? Let’s take a look at the unique properties of cream blusher and how best to use it to achieve the perfect look!
Advantages of cream blusher over powder blusher
- Suitable for dry and combination skin: When compared to powder, the creamy consistency does not dry out or accentuate flaky skin. It is therefore perfect for everyone with dry skin or combination skin, which is usually oily on the forehead and chin and dry on the cheeks.
- A good option for mature skin: Cream blusher doesn’t settle into fine lines as much as a powder product does.
- More intense colour and longer-lasting: Have you ever had your powder blusher simply disappear from your face after a few hours? Cream and liquid blushers allow you to achieve a stronger colour, depending on the amount you apply. They are also more long-lasting generally – so a cream blusher can keep you looking beautiful all day long.
- A fresh and radiant look: A good cream blusher usually has a moisturising consistency, so in addition to colour, it also gives your cheeks a subtle glow and radiant effect.
- Multifunctional: You can also use a liquid or cream blusher as a lipstick for a coordinated effect. You can even use it as an eyeshadow, if it is designed for that (so you can be sure it won’t irritate your eyes).
How to apply cream or liquid blusher
Cream blusher is best worked into the skin using your fingertips or a makeup sponge. You can also use a dense (buffing) makeup brush – however, we recommend choosing a synthetic brush as natural fibres tend to soak up more product.
Do not apply cream blusher to powdered skin – the creamy consistency clashes with the powder and the resulting effect can be unsightly. It is ideal to apply it to clean skin or over foundation before applying powder. You can powder it lightly at the end with a transparent powder, which helps to set the blusher and make it last longer. This ensures that your makeup looks fresh all day long.
The best cream blusher: How to choose?
Consistency/form of liquid blusher
- Cream blusher: The creamy consistency is ideal for dry and normal skin, because it adds hydration and a naturally healthy look. It generally provides long-lasting colour.
- Liquid blusher: Liquid blusher has a lightweight consistency and is easy to blend in. It is suitable for oily skin and delivers a natural look.
- Gel blusher: Gel blushers are long-lasting and often waterproof too. They are ideal for oily and problem skin, because their lightweight consistency does not clog the pores.
- Stick blusher: These blushers are practical and easy to apply. Choose the best stick blusher to have the perfect tool for quick makeup and touch-ups on the go.
Choose your favourite shade of cream blusher
In general, the lighter the skin tone, the lighter the shade of blusher. The darker the skin tone, the darker the blusher. When choosing a colour, go with your skin’s undertone – if you have a yellow complexion, choose a blusher with an orange tint. A pink undertone suits cooler shades of red and pink.
With these tips you will get the most natural look. But don’t be afraid to experiment – some shades may surprise you! For example, try some classic favourite colours:
- Pink cream blusher and pink liquid blusher
- Coral cream blusher and liquid blusher
- Red cream blusher and liquid blusher
- Peach cream blusher and peach liquid blusher
- Orange cream blush and orange liquid blusher
