One pot, three finishes. How our artists place cream blush for a fresh, a lifted and an evening face.

Start with your skin

Look at your skin in daylight, by a window, before you choose a shade or a finish. What looks right under a bathroom bulb rarely does outside.

Build it in thin layers

Sheer layers blend and last; one thick layer sits on top. Tap with a finger or a damp sponge, wait a minute, then add more where you want it.

  • Warm cream products between your fingers first.
  • Blend the edges towards your hairline.
  • Set only where you shine.
Less product, placed well, looks like skin.
