I am loving wearing cream blushes these days. Cream blushes give a dewy- moist kind of look to your cheeks. I was going out today so while getting ready I thought I’d do a small tutorial on how I apply cream blush. You my use a stippling brush or a regular foundation brush as well . I just like to use my clean fingers. 🙂
Ignore : My wet hair , no makeup face
Check : Cream blush application, My forever 21 earrings. 😀 😀
I am using Bobbi brown Pot Rouge in Cabo Coral . You may use any cream blush you have. People with oily skin stay away from Bobbi Brown Pot rouge. It gives that glossy look to cheeks, which may look oily if you already have an oily skin.
Let’s start
Pick cream blush with a Q Tip. You may also use a clean brush to pick the product. I just don’t like to re-dip my brush in the pot so I use a Q Tip.
Where to place the blush? Place your index finger slanted on top of your cheek. If you slightly press you finger, you would feel your cheekbone. That’s exactly where you have to place your cream blush.
Most cream blushes are super pigmented . It’s better to layer the cream blush than apply it in a one go. Apply 3-4 dots of cream blush on your cheek bone. Your starting point should be center of your iris “eye” and it would go upwards towards the temple. It should blend into your hairline.
Now with your two middle fingers start patting the dots. No dragging or swiping – just patting. The warmth of your fingers would spread the blush evenly on your cheeks. Also , you wouldn’t be able to see where your blush started and where it ended. Pat til the dots disappear and spread evenly on your cheeks.
Apply more if required. I flip my Q Tip and pick more.
Pat again. Pat in the direction going upwards towards your temple.
You may set your makeup with transparent loose powder. if you want you may also double up your cream blush with a powder blush to make the application long lasting. And you are done. Easy peasy. 🙂
I follow the same technique with all my cream blushes.Hope it helps you as well. 🙂

Thank you. Do you use cream blushes?
no rati i don’t. i ahve oily skin but i do want to use a cream blushes.
my mom says that as we grow older our skin becomes less and less oily but mine is the reverse 🙁
no the other day sabrina was also saying that her skin is getting oilier as she is getting older. 🙁
we oily skinned ppl have to make so many scarifices!! i hope god sees us and makes it up for us in other ways! :/
u lookin sexy! :highfive:
you would easily be able to use MUFE HD blush. It’s creamy but not at all oily. Infact once applied, you wouldn’t even feel anything on your skin. 🙂
Thank you. 🙂

Hi Rati! Great to read this tutorial when actually I was thinking of buying a cream blush :-)) :-)) My one question is-should I apply the cream blush after my foundation is set with compact or before using compact??? and in winter its fine..but in sultry summers when we sweat a lot and need frequent touch ups..can we use cream blushes? :struggle: :struggle: ..
Anuradha,
you can apply cream blush in following ways :
1. primer / oil free moisturiser =>cream blush => setting powder or apply compact using a powder brush. in this case keep the intensity of cream blush stronger because after applying compact the blush would tone down
2. Cream / liquid foundation => cream blush => setting powder.
In summers you can use cream blushes as a base to powder blushes. This would not only set your cream blush but would also help your blush last longer. Also, your powder blush wouldn’t go patchy.
Thaank u Rati !!! :-)) :-)) :-)) that was really minutely detailed and immensely helpful :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: ..now I gotta hunt for some good cream blushes after checking out reviews on them here on IMBB :chic: :chic: :chic: ..what I remember is that Lakme once had cream blushes lonnng back..sad they have discontinued 🙁 🙁
Oh!! I didn’t know that they had these blushes. all good things get disc. :(( even eye pots got disc.. 🙁
Did I tell you that I bought that Lotus cream for my mom that you reviewed today.Thank you. :))
I want the dewy look…….i have oily skin but then also…. :razzmad: :razzmad: :razzmad: :razzmad: :razzmad: :razzmad: she also put reminders to check “not check” her wet hair coz she is looking hot…..please check her pink nose stud, her black hand band…… :X-P: :X-P: :X-P:

Thank you, Shyna. 🙂
Thanks , Aditi. 🙂
hey rati,
Do you think blushes suit the skin with pits. Because my skin has pits due to acne , now my skin is less prone to acne but I have acne scars. When ever i apply blush it looks good form the far end, but looks some what scary from near and finally I remove the blush and go with just foundation on. And can you suggest me a good translucent powder. 🙂
Hi Rachna, you would have to apply a primer or a pore filler before you apply either powder or cream blush. Or else the product wouldn’t go smoother. MAC , Body Shop , Inglot, MUFE – all of them make decent translucent powders. I think Chambor also makes one.
This might help (comments) 🙂

Do suggest me some gud stuff that I can buy in Bangalore
Great post, tried it with the Lakme cheek artist, worked like a charm, Thanks 🙂
@Kaps, The Lakme cheek artist in Kiss if a Rose might be a good colour on you, try it out at your nearest Health&Glow or Bangalore Central Mall, which houses the Lakme collection. Hope it works 🙂
