| I am a 35 year old with dry skin, starting to visibly notice fine lines. I am wondering if perhaps a cream type blush would be better than a powder blush, not be so accentuating in lines? Can anyone comment on this? |

I love cream blush. I'm 39, but don't have dry skin. My favorite is Neutrogena's Dream Mousse Blush. Comes in a good selection of colors and goes on with ease. I don't find it settling into any lines. I also use the Mousse Foundation too.
Love em. |

I love MAC Lilicent cream blush.  Next on my list is Julie Hewett Cheekie's. My good friend just received Cheekies in Rosie and it looks gorgeous.

| Seems everyones raving about the sheer beauty of Julie Hewett's little Cheekie petroleum-free color pots. Just place a dab to your lips and cheeks and glow! Youll love the creamy, slightly shimmery pigment that keeps your skin soft, but not oily. The secret is a camellia oil base nearly identical to your skin's own natural oil. Use on lips and cheeks throughout the day for just-fresh radiance and shine. |

| I'm a cosmetician and I find that if I use a powder blush on an elderly lady with dry skin it just doesn't look nice at all but a cream blush just looks luminous and natural, not dull and dry at all! |

I have two of JH cheekies - natural and peach and wear them both. First I apply the natural in the cheek area and work it so it is barely
noticeable and then I put a pop of peach and blend in the apple. Very fresh and sweet.
I am 49 and it is beautiful stuff. I got the Mandy palette from EDS and it was a cheaper way to go and in a nice palette with a shimmy and a lip gloss. |

Have always been a bit afraid of cream blush, but I think I will give it a try.
Just the "apple of the cheek" I suppose for application??? |

| I really like the subtle look of Lauren Hutton's mineral blush (a powder). Her makeup line is made especially for older skin; no fillers so it doesn't settle into fine lines. I have had no problems with this even though I have sometimes had problems with other powders and creams. I'm in my forties, and my skin has always been dry. |

| Well it sure sounds like there are many who love cream blushes, I have been eyeing the JH cheekies for awhile now but really don't like ordering cosmetics online, it's nice to see the colors first hand before buying. I am running out to MAC at lunch today. |

| I'm dry and also like the Kevyn Aucoin Creamy Moist Blush, I have it in Tansoleil which is a nice apricot color. Also use Bobbi Brown's cream blushes and love the colors, have several in a palette. |

| A really good creamy blush that doesn't sit in the pores is Flush Blush by Pout. I like the "peachy passion" shade, which is good for my warm/golden skin tone. |

I'm still young enough to get away with powder blush according to most makeup savants, but I just think it looks really obvious and dry, at least on me -- I thought so even back when I was a teenager, and my skin was DEFINITELY not as dry back then as it is now!
I recently started using Benetint, and I love it -- it just gives me a rosy flush, but since it's liquid (not even cream) it's more like a dye so there's no residue or layering of product at all. Just plain old healthy-looking. The shade isn't for everyone, I'm sure, but it works well on my fair and cool complexion.
I just brush a circular bit onto the apples of my cheeks and rub it around, and it lasts all day. I do this before any kind of powder or concealer, etc.
Good luck in your cream blush search, hope this helps! And if you want a tiny bit of Benetint to sample I can decant you some, as I go through it really slowly -- just PM me if you're interested. |

I'm definitely in the dry/mature skin club, and I find that cream blushes applied before foundation give a lovely "glow from within" look that is natural and flattering. JH Cheekies are fabulous, as is the Kevyn Aucoin Tansoleil. I use them directly over moisturizer, blend like crazy, then brush on my mineral foundation over the blush.
I do still often use powder blush, but extremely sparingly. Literally, I lightly drag my blush brush over the pressed blush and then stroke from the apple of the cheek up towards my temples. Once over does it. If I think the color is noticeable, it's probably too much. |

Here's another vote for Kevin Aucoin's cream blush. Maybelline also have a nice mousse blush which is less expensive.
In my opinion, cream blushes are far more flattering on mature age skin. |

I love MAC blushcreme. Lillicent is HG for me; I also love Blossoming and Fabulush. NARS creme blush is also very very highly pigmented and I love it.
Although I have both creme blushes and powders, I think my maturing skin likes the creme best. |

| I have also heard a lot of good things about Tarte Cheek Stains. I have not tried it yet but come Christmas it's tops on my list....Right now I use EDM(it's MMU)blush and I like it a lot. |

I'd like to try the Tarte stains too, I think they do an all-natural pigmented one as well, if my memory serves correct.
There is another gel-type stain called Jelly pong pong I'd like to try. |

| Ginnielizz, I have tried Benetint before and love it as well but find that although the color is nice and flushed looking I wasn't getting that 'dewy' look, plus you only have the one color. I ran out yesterday to MAC and purchased blushcreme in Ladyblush, I love the pinky peach color with no shimmer. I used my fingers to apply the blush but found it hard to move around so think I will invest in a good cream blush brush. After a few more applications I will review this product. |

I agree that it's a bit silly to only have one blush shade! It looks great on me, but I have a VERY cool complexion and I imagine it would be all wrong on warmer skin tones. Crazy BeneFit.
Good luck in your cream blush search, I hope you find that dewy look you're going for! Keep us posted! |

Though I'm not a big fan of Lauder, know that their Blushlights cream blush are very flattering to dry and/or maturing skin, as the formulation has light diffusing properties.
I personally use Beauty Buffet's Sheer Cheek Tint in Coquette. |

| I really like cream blushes. In particular, I've been using Cargo's Colortube, which is a 3-in-1 for eyes/cheeks/lips, although I only use it for my cheeks. The color I like is Santiago as it seems to be a multipurpose blush for me, not too cool or warm. A little goes a long way when putting it on with Cargo's no. 20 brush and I think I've had the tube for years! Oh yeah, and it doesn't make me break out! |

| This is a review of my MAC cream blush, I have still not invested in a good blush brush so have been using my fingers to apply the blush. I have become more adept at this but it is still tricky to move this product around and not end up with 'clown cheeks'. I find this product to be quite sticky, I would definitely prefer a lighter gel or mousse type substance, that being said the color is long lasting, I have had no breakouts and I am achieving that 'dewy' look I was going for, so I would repurchase this blush for sure. Next on my list JH cheekies. |

Two questions:
1. Where do you buy Kevin Aucoin's products? Also, as he passed away a few yrs ago, who is the m/u artist designing his namesake products?
2. How do you apply cream blush? My mom never had blush, she just used lipstick to rub into her cheeks  .
TIA |
