Guide to Blush - Powder, Cream or Liquid?
It's 2023 and blush is in baby! While doing some research for a product launch I spotted a question on Google - "is liquid blush a thing?" and thought it was about time we wrote a post on all things blush.

The cherry on top of our makeup routine, blush is the secret ingredient to that healthy, rosy glow. Whether you're going for a natural flush or a bold pop of color, blush is the ultimate game-changer. And guess what? There are different types of blush to suit every preference and skin type. Today, we're going to dive into the wonderful world of blush and explore the fabulous trio: liquid, powder, and cream blushes. Get ready for some cheeky fun.

Liquid Blush

Let's start with liquid blusher. Oh boy, this little gem is having a major trending moment right now. Imagine a lightweight formula that effortlessly melts into your skin, giving you that "lit from within" look. Liquid blushes come in handy little bottles with a convenient applicator - some a wand, some a squeezy tube. This makes them perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.

Just a few drops on your fingertips, gently tap onto your cheeks, and voila! You'll have a dewy, natural flush that will make heads turn. Plus, they're buildable, so you can go from a subtle sheer hint of color to a full-on rosy explosion. Liquid blushes are like the cool kid at the party, always bringing the freshness factor.

Powder Blush

Now, let's talk about the classic: powder blush. It's been around for ages, and boy, it never disappoints. Powder blushes are like the reliable best friend who's always got your back. With a vast range of shades and finishes, they offer endless possibilities for creating different looks. From matte to shimmer, you can play with texture and intensity to achieve your desired effect.

Dust a fluffy blush brush into the pan, tap off the excess, and lightly sweep it onto your cheeks. Blend, blend, blend! The result? A beautiful, natural flush that lasts all day long. Powder blushes are perfect for those who love versatility and a touch of nostalgia.

Cream Blush

Last but not least, let's give a round of applause for cream blushes. These babies are all about that creamy, dreamy texture that melts like butter on your skin. Cream blushes are like the smooth operator of the blush world, effortlessly blending and giving you that healthy, lit-up complexion.

Whether in a stick or compact form, they offer a seamless application and a dewy finish that screams "I woke up like this." Apply a small amount directly to your cheeks and blend with your fingertips or a makeup sponge. The result? A natural, radiant glow that will make you feel like a million bucks. Cream blushes are the perfect choice for those who want a youthful, fresh-faced look.
