After ditching the heavy duty foundations in favour of sheer tints and creams I decided my updated my blush routine needed a good old mix-up and update too. Lately I've been swapping powders for creams and adoring the resulting lit from within glow they give. I just love the natural, illuminating effect cream blushers provide - plus the buildable coverage and fool-proof application. These are the beauties I have been reaching for the most: The Cream Dream Team...
To dot on cheekbones as a delectable highlighter adding luminescence plus a hint of pink shimmer I opt for the Urban Decay Cream Highlight in Moonshine. For true baby-doll-proper-baby-pink cheeks I'll either whip out the Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Sob - (a staple blusher for me for over a year now which has oh so sadly been discontinued - WHY Illamasqua WHY!?) or the similarly cool-toned, candy pink MAC's Cremeblend blush in So Sweet So Easy. Topshop Blush in Flush and Bourjois Cream Blush in Rose Tender (see full review here) are slightly darker, bolder pink shades which both boast a cream-powder formulation and provide a gorgeous dewy, radiant finish and finally, the odd-one-out of the bunch but a definite favourite nonetheless, is the gorgeous matte peach Borjouis Cream Blush in Nude Velvet.
So there you have it, The Cream Dream Team - my current cream blush arsenal. Let me know your cream blusher recommendations.
