The first time I used it, I was a little nervous, and not entirely happy with the result. I’ve perfected my powder blusher application, so to now be applying it with my fingers seems completely alien to me. I’ve slowly got there with application and making it look more symmetrical on my cheeks. It’ll take a while before I’m fully confident with it.
There’s not a lot I can say about this blush really. I’ve worn it a few times, and my favourite thing about it is that when it fades, it doesn’t go patchy. It fades evenly, so I’m not looking in the mirror at the end of the day with blotchy cheeks. This won’t last all day, but I wouldn’t expect it to especially considering how much I probably touch my face without realising it.
I would definitely try more Crème Blushes in the future, overall, I’m not too sure this is the best colour for my skin tone, as I do get little red blotches on the tops of my cheeks occasionally, and having a bright pink blusher tends to accentuate it more.
One thing I have to remember with this type of blusher is that 9/10 it is going to look extremely vibrant in the pan, but once applied sparingly it can look quite lovely. Obviously it can be built up for a stronger colour, but given how pale I am at the moment I’m better off going for more of a flushed look than anything and this can achieve it – it’s in the name!

I will definitely try some more from the Topshop range, I’ve been recommended Head over Heels by the same friend and it is apparently by far the best colour from their range. I also have my eye on the MAC Crème Blushes, they look pretty nice too.

Please excuse the slightly grubbyness of the packaging. I originally took photos a while ago, but decided they were rubbish so retook them this evening.

I really want to try Topshop make up, this one looks nice but I've never tried a creme blush before so I think I'd have the same problems as you! x
ReplyDeleteI'd say these are probably a good starting point, because in the grand scheme of things £6 isn't that much money for a blusher nowadays, and if you decide you're not keen and prefer powder you've not lost an obscene amount of money and left with a product you don't like :) x
DeleteI've not tried Topshop's blushers yet; I really want to but the colours look so bright that I'm worried I will totally mess up application and look like a clown! They seem so good though and I love the packaging so I might have to take the risk! xx
ReplyDeleteGive it a go! I used my work make up routine as practice, because I'm not too bothered if I look like an idiot here! ;) but maybe use weekends to practice? And just remember to go in light, and build the colour from there. x
DeleteLooks like a very pretty colour. Ive heard great things about Topshop Make-up:)
