While cream blush will always have my heart, I’ll be the first to admit that powder blush still plays a very important role in my makeup routine.
Cream formulas blend effortlessly into the skin, but layering a powder blush on top takes things to the next level—better longevity, more dimension, and that perfect flushed finish.
1. Armani Powder Blush – My Everyday Essential
The Armani powder blush is my go-to for daily wear. The formula is smooth, lightweight, and blends seamlessly into the skin without looking heavy. The peachy-pink tone is flattering and natural, making it perfect for everyday makeup when I want a healthy, effortless glow.
2. Hourglass Powder Blush – For Glowy, Evening Looks
When I’m in the mood for something a bit more luminous, I reach for the Hourglass blush. It gives a soft, radiant finish that feels elevated and polished—ideal for evenings or special occasions. I apply it with a fluffy brush, focusing on the center of my cheeks and blending upward for a lifted effect.
Even as a devoted cream blush lover, these powder formulas have earned a permanent place in my routine. Both offer a similar peachy-pink tone that I never get tired of, while serving different purposes depending on the occasion. Layered thoughtfully, they create a blush look that lasts and always feels just right.
