How is Cream Blush different from Powder blush?
The main difference is that you’re going to notice that cream blush has a thicker and pigmented consistency. Darker skin tones can benefit from the pigment that cream blush gives. Usually a little goes a super long way with cream blush! Also, cream blush is best for those with dry skin and powder is best for oily skin.
Which cream blush should I get?
You’re probably expecting to hear this but I would say the Rare Beauty Cream Blush by Selena Gomez! It’s so pigmented and beautiful. There is a shade for every skin tone and it’s incredibly long-lasting. I went to the store to check it out and I fell in love with cream blushes! So good!
I also really love Jouer Cosmetics Blush and Lip Stick! I absolutely love the shade celebrate me, it looks so pretty and it’s super pigmented. Both are great options and I highly recommend them!!
How do I use cream blush?

- Make sure you properly prep your skin, I’ve found that one of the biggest factors in making cream blush work the best it can is having a hydrated base. This will ensure that your blush has a super good base to work with too.
- Grab your brush and your cream blush of choice, to find which blush shade works best with your skin tone click here.
- Grab some of the product onto your brush and apply it onto the back of your hand to really see the color payoff so you don’t accidentally apply too much!
- Start by applying some onto your cheek with the brush. You can slowly start spreading it out with your fingers or the brush, you can also use a damp beauty blender if you’d like!
- Apply some on your cheeks, apply a little on your nose, and a little on your chin too.
- You can also set the blush with a powder blush for long-lasting results!

- Cream blush works super well as a base for powder blush! It helps the powder blush to latch onto your skin. Make sure to choose a cream blush shade similar to your powder blush when you do this, or mix it up!
- Want the best results you can get from your cream blush? Make sure to apply moisturizer right before doing your makeup! Having a hydrated base is also gonna help with getting a dewy base.
- Cream blush also works as a great eyeshadow! I love doing this with my Rare Beauty Cream Blush. To use cream blush as eyeshadow grab your cream blush and an eyeshadow brush. Gently blend the blush onto your eyes and you’ll have a super quick and pigmented form of eyeshadow!
