Best Cream Blush

“Make It Easy”

When you want to find the best cream blush available, look no further than your own makeup kit. There are some really neat ways that you can combine products you already own to customize your blush into a one of a kind color which will be perfect for your skin tone. 

Makeup artists “tweak” blush all the time, especially for fashion shows and photographs where blush needs to be more intense to show up. By using the same techniques, but with a little less pigment, you can give your own blush colors a boost. It’s easy!

Maybelline Blush Is The Base

The easiest way to find the best cream blush color for your skin type is to start with a mousse blush or cream blush.

Maybelline has a product called Dream Mousse Blush. It works great for blush recipes.

The advantage of using a mousse blush is that it’s so easy to mix. You can find it online at Amazon.

“You can have a beautiful blush anytime!”

Mixing Blush Tips

The best way to enhance and customize the color of your blush is to add pigment from a lipstick to it. Why? Because the pigment from a lipstick tends to be naturally intense which allows you control over how dark you make the blush. It will also maintain a creamy consistency to the blush.

Nars Lipstick Is The Pigment…

For instance, you could use a Nars lipstick like this one from Amazon.com. Nars lipsticks contain more pigment which makes them great for this makeup recipe.

With a butter knife simply scrape off a little of the color and put it in the palm of your hand. Then take a tiny scoop of your cream blush and add it to the lipstick dab. Now mix the two together.

It will look like an intense blush color; however, when you put it on your cheeks it will go on sheer. This is because the base was a whipped mousse base.

 

Gorgeous Custom Blush

The advantage of making your own blush is that you can make a custom blush to go with each of your lipstick colors – All from the same base! If you find a particular combination that you love to wear all the time, then simply mix up a larger amount. It’s that easy.

With this recipe you’ll always have the best cream blush color for any look you want.
