How to Apply Cream Blush, Step by Step
- Prep the skin. Apply moisturiser and let it sink in for a few minutes. Cream blush grips best to skin that is hydrated but not wet.
- Apply base before colour. Cream blush goes on after foundation and concealer and before any powder. Powder first makes cream products drag and patch.
- Start with a tiny amount. Dab a little colour onto the back of your hand to warm it, then pick it up with your fingertips, a damp sponge or a dense brush.
- Place, then blend. Tap the colour onto the apple of the cheek and blend up and back towards the temple. Tapping keeps the foundation underneath in place; rubbing moves it.
- Build slowly. Add a second thin layer if you want more intensity. Two light layers look far more natural than one heavy one.
- Set if you need to. On oily skin, press a little translucent powder or a powder blush in a similar shade over the top to help it last.
Choosing a Shade for Your Skin Tone
- Fair skin: soft pinks, peaches and light corals.
- Medium skin: warm rose, apricot and coral.
- Deep skin: rich berry, brick, plum and bright orange-red.
If you are unsure, pick a shade close to your natural flush — the colour your cheeks turn after exercise.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Applying cream blush over loose powder, which causes patchiness.
- Placing colour too low on the cheek, which can drag the face down.
- Using too much product at once instead of building gradually.
