I've really started to love cream blushes in the last year or so. I think they give a natural, radiant finish. My favourites are definitely the NYX ones. They're so creamy and pigmented! For my cheeks, I only need 1-2 light dabs with the stipple brush. The other cream blushes I own, especially the Look Beauty and MUA ones, require warming up with my finger to get to the pigmentation. Because of this, they're harder to use with a stipple brush, which is what I prefer to apply cream blushes with. The next two blushes have a liquid formulation, rather than a cream one, but thought I'd include them anyway. They're closer to cream than powder! The Natural Collection Rosy Pink blush is my least favourite out of the ones I own. It takes a lot of product to even show up on the skin. The ELF Headliner blush is a beautiful colour and extremely pigmented. I don't use it very often though because I'm too lazy to put the product on the back of my hand and then apply! Revlon's Flushed looks scary in the pan, but it's not that pigmented, making it very wearable. I do like it, but it's not as creamy or pigmented as my NYX ones, so don't tend to reach for it regularly. Lastly is ELF's Heart Breaker. It's a beautiful shade, but the formula lets it down. It's like molding clay, and all my finger and brush do is move it around instead of picking anything up. Therefore, it's incredibly hard to build up. The swatch above required a dense brush and heavy hand. I also have the Topshop cream blush in High Five, which I forgot to photograph. Again, I like it, but don't love it. And I hate the white packaging. It gets so dirty!
Do you like cream blushes? Are there any you would recommend me trying?
Where do you get your Nyx from? x

DeleteI've just had a look and P&P to the UK has increased loads! Ordering a few products and combining the delivery would be your best bet. Or it may be cheaper to order from the UK website: http://www.nyxcosmetics.co.uk/
DeleteI was tempted to try the elf brushes so thanks for the review. I had the NYX cream blush in Boho Chic which was a lovely colour with a nice texture but it had too much shimmer. I'd love to try the other shades.
ReplyDeleteThe Topshop Cream Blusher in Head Over Heels is probably my favourite xx
NYX Glow looks lovely!
