Are you ready to ditch the powder and embrace the dewy, natural flush of a cream blush and the sun-kissed warmth of a cream bronzer? These creamy wonders are taking the makeup world by storm, and for good reason! Not only do they blend seamlessly for a flawless finish, but they're also perfect for all skin types, especially those on the drier side.
This guide will be your one-stop shop for everything you need to know about applying cream blush and cream bronzer like a pro, including some insider tips on using the all-new Omaricode Cream Sticks!
Cream Blush vs Bronzer: What's the Difference?
While both cream blush and cream bronzer come in stick form, they serve different purposes:
- Cream Blush: This adds a pop of color to your cheeks, mimicking a natural flush. Think rum plum, haze coral,or even a berry jam, depending on your preference and skin tone. The right shade of cream blush can instantly brighten your complexion and add a youthful appearance. Consider your skin's undertone when choosing a blush shade. Cool undertones tend to look better with pink or plum shades, while warm undertones look great with peachy or coral hues.
- Cream Bronzer: This adds warmth and definition to your face, mimicking a sun-kissed glow. Bronzer shades typically range from light browns to deeper terracottas. The right shade of cream bronzer can subtly sculpt your cheekbones, define your jawline, and even warm up your forehead for a more balanced look. Opt for a shade that's one to two shades darker than your natural skin tone, but remember, it's always better to start light and build up the color for a natural effect.
The Debate: Blush or Bronzer First?
There's no hard and fast rule, but here's a general guideline to consider:
- For a natural look: Apply cream blush first, followed by cream bronzer to sculpt and define your features. This allows the blush to peek through the bronzer for a natural flush that appears to come from beneath the skin.
- For a more dramatic look: Apply cream bronzer first to create a base, then layer the cream blush on top for a pop of color. This technique can add more dimension and definition to your face.
Ultimately, the order depends on the desired effect. Experiment and see what works best for you!
How to Apply Cream Blush Like a Pro:
- Prep is Key: For a flawless application, start with a moisturized base. Apply a primer if you tend to get oily throughout the day. A good moisturizer will create a smooth canvas for your makeup, while a primer can help control oil and ensure your cream blush lasts longer.
- Smile and Swipe: Locate the apples of your cheeks by smiling. Dab a small amount of cream blush (think pea-sized) directly onto the apples of your cheeks using the brush or your fingertips. For a more diffused look, you can also apply a tiny dot to the bridge of your nose and blend it upwards towards your forehead.
- Blend it Out: Using a fluffy brush with soft bristles specifically designed for cream products, or a damp beauty sponge, gently buff the cream blush in circular motions upwards and outwards towards your temples. This ensures a seamless blend and avoids harsh lines. Omaricode Cream Sticks are known for their blendability, so a little product goes a long way! If you find you've applied too much blush, don't panic! You can use a clean foundation brush to buff out some of the color.
- Build Up the Color: If you want a more intense flush, you can always add more product a little bit at a time.Remember, it's easier to add than to take away!
How to Apply Cream Bronzer for a Sun-Kissed Glow:
- Less is More: Cream bronzer can add warmth quickly, so start with a small amount. A little goes a long way, and you can always add more later if needed.
- Find Your Shape: To define your cheekbones, apply the cream bronzer in a "3" shape starting at your temples, sweeping down towards your cheekbones, and then blending inwards towards the apples of your cheeks. Imagine drawing a line from your temple down to the corner of your mouth, then stopping halfway. This is the general path you want the bronzer to follow. You can use a small angled brush for more precise application, especially when sculpting your cheekbones.
- Buff and Blend: Just like with cream blush, use a fluffy brush or a damp beauty sponge to buff and blend the cream bronzer seamlessly into your skin. Buffing in a circular motion ensures the product melts into your foundation and creates a natural, diffused effect.
- Warm Up the Rest: For a touch of extra warmth, you can also apply a light layer of cream bronzer to your forehead and jawline. Apply the product in a light sweeping motion, following your hairline on your forehead and blending downwards along your jawline. Be sure to blend well, especially near your hairline, to avoid harsh lines.
- Set It and Forget It: Once you're happy with your cream blush and cream bronzer application, set your makeup with a translucent powder to lock everything in place and prevent creasing. Apply the powder with a light hand, focusing on areas that tend to get oily throughout the day, such as your T-zone.
