Rufus R. Noble I am always on the lookout for that blush which will make my heart sing. The one that gives the perfect amount blush? Powder blushes can get messy especially when you apply makeup quickly. It can also be difficult to control how much product is applied. Cream blushes were my breakthrough. They are easy to use and have a glowy finish. Multisticks, which can be used on both the cheeks and lips, are another option to get a creamy, flushed look that I love.
We all love cream blushes, multisticks, and we at SELF are big fans. So we decided to compile our favorite products from our makeup bags. No matter the price, all of them have one thing in common: They are easy to blend and build, and stay put no matter how you apply them to your cheeks with a finger or use a makeup brush.
Glossier Cloud Paint, $18
“All that I need is a small amount, just enough to cover my fingertip and cover my cheeks with a natural-looking Cherub Flush. Just a few quick swipes in the shade Haze and I’m good to go.” –Tiffany Dodson.
NOTO Botanics Multi-Benne Stain Stick, $19
This stick can be used everywhere! It’s great for lips and cheeks, with Oscillate and Ono Ono to give a subtle color wash. It has a refreshing minty scent that is very refreshing. It’s also formulated with natural, hydrating components like rosehip seed and jojoba oils.” –Dodson
Onomie Boosting Cheek and Lip Stick, $30
“This season, I definitely have a love for multisticks! Onomie’s shade Rani is a toasted papaya that makes it easy for me to customize my cheek color. It’s very hydrating because it contains ingredients like sunflower seed oil and shea butter.” –Dodson
Juice Beauty Phyto-Pigments Last Looks Cream Blush in Peony, $25
“Sooo creamy! It’s so creamy! For a natural flush, I use my fingertips to apply a little bit and then smooth it out with my hands. I only wish that the product would last longer. It is not easy to touch up.
Lip2Cheek, $36
“I love lip and cheek products. They’re so easy to use. This one is from RMS Beauty in the color Demure. Applying it to my lips is the best way to get a rosy pout. It gives me a more rosy look on my cheeks. I prefer to apply it with the Skin2Skin brush, which costs $34. RMS Lip2Cheek contains coconut oil but does not feel greasy. It’s extremely hydrating, and it looks natural even in winter. Although the product is quite expensive, I believe it’s well worth it for its quality and longevity.” –Abbas
