Make Powder a Thing of the Past with M·A·C Cremeblend Blush.

/

If you are getting older in age, like me, sometimes a powder blush does not cut it. I find that many powders only accentuate the lines on my face, especially under and around my eyes. For this reason, I like to turn to creams. The problem with many creams are that I have an awful time finiding one that looks natural when blended out. I have tried so many of them and have just a handful of faves. I am adding this one to the tops of my list: M·A·C Cremeblend Blush.

For every contour control freak, for every persistent perfectionist comes this wondrous way to play with blush that gives you the most magnificent flexibility

A Cream Blush I Can FINALLY Get Behind: Make Up For Ever HD Microfinish Blush.

/

I have a mostly hate relationship with cream blushes. When I think I love one, I use it a few times and then toss it. This seems to happen over and over because I can never keep it looking natural, and applying consistent. Maybe I am just better at controlling how I apply powder, I am not sure. But times have changed, beauty friends. Make Up For Ever has come up with an excellent cream blush that is so different and natural that it is one that I can finally get behind. This is HD Microfinish Blush. It is wonderfully different.

Notice that this creamy formula is not in a pot like most cream blushes. This blush comes in a pump in which needs to be pumped gently to dispense the tiniest amount to use. It blends seamlessly and looks more natural and better as it is rubbed in. With a combination of mattifying and reflecting powders infused into the formula, it helps to create an air-brushed, soft finish.

HD Microfinish Blush comes in 14 shades to naturally sculpt and highlight
