This Is the Only Makeup Product I'm Wearing Right Now, and It's Game-Changing

If you’d have asked me this time last year what my desert-island makeup products were, blush wouldn’t have even made the top 10. In fact, I think I probably only had one blush in my otherwise excessive makeup stash. You see, I have always championed a streamlined, simple routine. As far as I was concerned, all I needed for my daily routine was a hefty layer of concealer, some bronzer and maybe a quick coat of mascara on my lashes. Anything else was just added faff that I couldn’t be bothered with.

But then, a cream blush came my way, and everything changed. I realized that the thing that stressed me out about blusher the most was the application process. With powder formulas, it’s all too easy to make mistakes, from applying too much to getting it in the wrong place. However, cream blushers are basically foolproof. Not only can they be patted into the skin with fingers really quickly, but they also can be blended out super easily.

On top of that, they essentially melt into the skin, leaving a dewy, glowy finish. I have become such a fan of cream blushes that they’re basically the only makeup product I’m using at the moment. In fact, I can’t imagine leaving the house without at least a little dab of dewy color on my cheeks. Bronzer, highlight and even (dare I say it) concealer have taken a back seat. All my face needs to look alive and well is a little bit of cream blush.

And my newfound love for cream blush means I’ve been trying every product I can get my hands on. I’ve given them all a whirl, from liquid formulas in tubes to putty-like textures. These are the best cream blushes money can buy.
