Are you blushing? If you are (hopefully not from embarrassment), cute! If not, you may want to add some blush to your makeup routine. 

Blush adds natural warmth and a beautiful glow to your cheeks and entire face, drawing attention to your best features and giving you a youthful appearance. The right blush can catch the light at any angle, and can even liven and brighten your eyes with the right shade. If you’re new to blush, however, you may not know where to start. 

Luckily, there are a few cream blushes on the market that take the guesswork out of the process for you, and can even double as other color-adding makeup products.

Find one that doubles as another makeup staple

If you’re going to invest in a new product, why not pick one that works double-time for your dollar? Due to the luxurious texture of cream blush, it can easily double as a lip color, or even eyeshadow if you’re going for an all-over toasty look. 

The first thing you want to do is make sure you get a color of blush that flatters and compliments your skin tone, to make sure you’ll want to use it all over. Once you find the right shade for you, you’re certainly going to want to use it to bring out all your lovely features, and luckily, cream blush does the job (and well). This versatility ensures you get the most use out of this wonder-child product.

Easy application

One of the best things about a cream blush is how easy it is to apply. 

With the right cream blush, you don’t even need to use a brush or sponge to add that radiant glow to your cheeks. All it takes is a swipe of your fingers to enjoy the fabulous effects of a solid quality blush. Just apply the appropriate amount of color you desire and blend in to achieve a fresh-faced warm look. Use as much or as little as you like; cream blush melts right into your skin for a fool-proof enhancement to your entire face. 

For application to your lips, just use the same process. This can be made easier by picking a cream blush that offers a balm-to-gel quality, allowing it to glide over your lips, activated by the natural heat of your skin. 

High-quality ingredients make for a high-quality product

If you want your cream blush to really go above and beyond at its job, you’re definitely going to want to pick one with the right stuff in it. Something with clean, natural ingredients will keep your skin safe and healthy. The last thing you want is a make-up induced breakout, and avoiding as many chemicals as possible will ensure a clear complexion. 

Some cream blushes even have vitamins and antioxidants in them, to brighten and provide much-needed hydration for your skin, even after you wipe the blush off at the end of the day. These cream blushes have the added benefit of leaving your skin in even better condition than before.

Efficiency and usability is key

Using a cream blush on more than just your cheeks ensures you get the most bang for your buck. Finding a good cream blush can cut down on makeup costs overall while also taking up less space than using three different products. The ease of use with an all-in-one cream blush can take care of any and all concerns regarding the correct application which makes it perfect for those of us who may not be exactly seasoned when it comes to makeup application in general. 

Simplify your routine with a cream blush that does it all.
