I’ve always been a no powder foundation kind of girl, except when it came to blush. If you look in my makeup collection there are plenty of powder blushes that I have experimented with. Somehow, lately, I felt like I just wasn’t finding the right shade. I realized it was time to make the switch, not from coral to pink or light to dark but from powder to cream. I always thought of cream blushes as a more of a mature thing. I remember my mom telling me about how my grandmother would apply her lipstick on her cheeks, what a great hack right? I do have dry skin which is another great reason to switch over. Cream blushes have come a long way. Many are a bit lighter like a blush tint rather than a cream. I loved the NARS Orgasm powder blush in High School but now I feel like it kind of sits in my pores. I was happy to discover that they had the same shade in a stick called NARS The Multiple. Tarte Cheek Stain in Exposed is also a good one over no-makeup skin for the perfect glow. If you have oily skin I don’t recommend a cream blush, but for us dry-skinned gals, it’s definitely a game changer.
