Combined with a touch of BB cream or your favourite foundation, cream blushers create a subtle look perfect for day wear or as a base for a big night out. They’re also easy to apply, are great for dry skin, and look just as good on your lips as they do on your cheeks.
It’s sometimes a good idea to pop into a store and sample the shade before you buy, especially if you’re considering a different colour to your usual. And it’s actually recommended that you don’t use a makeup brush to apply cream blusher, so that’s one expense you don’t need to cover. Beauty bloggers and pro's alike actually recommend using your finger to apply cream blusher, clean hands only, of course!
Other than that, your chosen colour is totally down to the look that you want to achieve, so take a read of our guide below and click through to discover the range of shades available.
