Cream Vs. Powder – 5 Reasons why Cream Blush is Superior

The Power of Cream Blush cannot be Underestimated 

 

 

Rosy complexion is a sign of health, youth, and vitality

It is no wonder why blush is an essential part of every woman’s makeup ritual as we seek to achieve fresh, glowing looks that exude seductive allure. The effect blush has on your makeup look cannot be underestimated. A light touch of cheerful peachy color livens up your skin tone, while a dash of spellbinding plum transforms your look from subtle to bold.

Cream Blush Vs. Powder Blush – The Debate

Since the debut of cream and powder blush formulations, there has been a strong divide between women who swear by either of these textures. Whether you are on team cream or powder, it is undeniable that the right shade and finish can elevate your natural beauty. Luxury by Sofia examines for you the differences between these two product textures and explains why a cream blush formula is superior to powder blush.

Cream blush: A velvety texture for your skin to feel like silk

The crown jewel of the blush family, cream blush revives lackluster skin with its luxurious creamy texture that melts effortlessly onto your complexion. Its nourishing rich texture ensures that the cream blush glides silky smooth onto your skin with minimal drag. Often enriched with hydrating emollients, cream blushes are exceptionally hydrating and nourish the skin. Adored for its dewy effect, cream blush is sometimes touted as a highlighter and a hydrant in one product and is usually available in a compact or stick format.

Powder blush: A cloudy texture of pure colors for the skin

The powder counterpart of cream blush, the powder blush, lends a touch of femininity with the natural translucent veil of color it delivers. It instantly breathes life into dull skin with its lightweight formula. Powder blush is usually available in a compact pressed powder format.

1. Intense Color Pigmentation

Get yourself the coverage you need for any look.  Cream blush delivers buildable coverage, so with very little product, you can achieve an understated natural look, and with a few additional swipes, you can rock a striking trend look. Due to its malleable creamy texture, it delivers a high color payoff and blends effortlessly onto your skin. In contrast, a powder blush is designed to deposit a fine powder texture that tends to form a translucent veil of color. If you desire a versatile product that can handle all natural and high drama, then a cream blush will better suit your needs.

 

2. Hydrating Formulation

Give your complexion a refreshing glow of life.  Keeping your skin well-hydrated is the key to achieving fresh and long-lasting face makeup. When your complexion is dry, face makeup can become flaky as your skin starts to peel. Over time, your makeup will lose its vibrancy. The emollient formulation of a cream blush ensures that your skin retains its natural moisture, unlike a powder blush which can absorb the oil from the surface of your skin.

3. Non-Cakey Finish

Keep a long-lasting, freshly hydrated makeup look.  The silky-smooth, creamy texture of a cream blush enables you to blend it onto your skin using just your fingertips effortlessly. On the other hand, powder blush quickly becomes cakey when exposed to sweat and harsh weather conditions. As it is not inherently hydrating, powder blush can start to flake and crease as your skin loses its moisture throughout the day.

4. Luminous Dewy Glow

Bring extra luminosity to your face with a dewy finish.  A characteristic unique to cream blush, its waxy texture helps deliver a luminous, dewy glow that is impossible to achieve with a matte powder blush. A youthful rosy complexion is not complete without a tint of lucent glow, so the cream blush wins in this aspect.

5. Suitable for all Skin Tones

Flatter your makeup look regardless of your skin tone.  Cream blush is designed to be inclusive. Its high color payoff is suitable for all skin tones, even deeper or darker ones. On the flipside, powder blush lightly coats your skin with a tinge of color which may not manifest well on darker skin tones. Finding the perfect blush match for your unique look is a breeze with cream blush.
