I saw many questions on FD Forum on how to apply cream blush. The texture left people wondering whether it should be used before or after foundation/powder. Other question would be why do we need to bother with cream blush when powder is so much easier?
The answer to the later is because cream blush is very useful when you want to have more natural looking flush. It also left you cheeks looking healthy and luminous because the texture blend in right into your skin. If you’re a bit challenged in the blush staying power department, by applying cream blush before your powder blush will help your blush stay longer. Choose cream blush within the same colour hue as your powder blush.
As to when do you apply the cream blush, the rule of thumb is that cream should be applied with cream product, vice versa powder with powder product. Therefore cream blush should be applied after foundation and/or concealer and before powder. However, make up should be about having fun and like what our favourite make up artist Darwyn Tse said “There’s no rule when it comes to Make up”. So when you think you’ve mastered the make up artistry, experiment and do as you wish.
Here’s some pointer on how to apply cream blush and what tool we can use.
If you’re using the cream blush alone, for more luminous finish apply liquid highlighter such as Benefit Moonbeam or Highbeam on your cheekbone for more natural day time finish. Whereas for night or if you’re in need of more glow opt for powder highlighter such as Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick, MAC Mineralize Skin Finish or Laura Mercier Shimmerbloc.

DezZeLL dear,
do you mean Cream Blush instead of Cream Brush?
And I LOVE Make Up Show Buffer Brush from Juleha’s lapak. So little product needed, and so natural the result!
dooh, pas!
gw lagi bingung gmn cara pake cream blush…
tengkyu yeee jeung desZell..
i love cream blush! for me it’s more practical than the powder one. if there’s no brush in sight, just using fingers, then voila!
gue kayaknya malah bingung nih kalo pake cream blush pake application. i always use my fingers to do the job
Haiyah gue jadi inget lagi deh belum beli si buffer brush indang.
Btw setuju, gue jg kalo pake cream blush selalu pake liquid highlighter to make my cheek bones pop. Benefit High Beam is my favorite so far or Revlon Skinlight Face Illuminator yg teksturnya mirip bgt..
fingers is the best.. and the cheapest.. and you cant forget to bring one.. hehe
*tries to beat koukla to the buffer brush*
i love the ecotools brushes for cream blushes…
love it with MAC 187, i used to use fingers as well but 187 is so convenient and more precise.
wahhh gw kebalikan nih, gw paling ga bisa deh pake tangan…ga pernah sukses
untung gw punya si 187 and 188 ini, jadi bisa bereksperimen deh. cuma kudu beli blush creamnya doloe…hihihi.
