[@Wookie_Tan]

you have to venture into more Asian or Korean cream blushes! Have you tried Peripera's velvet cheeks? Maybe checkout Aritaum's sugarball cushion cheek, super popular or even anything from A'pieu!!

[@AmandaZ]

I haven't tried!! Thank you for the recommendations :)

[@4booky831]

Yes!! There are soooo many affordable yet beautiful kbeauty blushes out there!!

[@nawanya6677]

Amanda Z and you should try too cool for school water flip blush ،holika holika jelly dough blusher and 3ce cushion blush

[@nikkijose7501]

Korean cream blushes are my favorite! Definitely agree with the sugarball cushion cheek recommendation.

[@taylorloeb9559]

I was thinking the same thing, and was happy when she brought up Canmake. My favorite Western liquid one ever(Vincent Longo cheek/lip gel stain in Liquid Kiss), which has been hard to find so started looking at KBeauty choices on my YesStyle adventures/addiction a few years ago and the closest dupe I found was the Juicy Pang Water Blusher (great product, & yes cute packaging). I have the Aritaum Sugarball one, but it is just too pigmented for me, have to work to sheer it out, but it would look great on deeper skintones. Would love to see Amanda try out a slew I have been wanting to try from the Saem, 3CE, etc! Tamara, I love the Peripera Ink the Airy Velvet Lip Tint, does it have a similiar "cloud" feel?

[@ginnyburley9552]

A problem I’ve had with cream blushes on my medium tan skin is that many of them just aren’t pigmented enough to show up enough. I have very dry skin so I have to really moisturize well, and love creamy, dewy products. I need to check out the most pigmented blush you feature here.

[@rheaultm33]

Try stilas convertible blushes! SUPER pigmented

[@AmandaZ]

The honest beauty I think would work amazing for you 😘

[@CryystalJayy]

What’s your foundation shade? I’m nc42 in mac and glossier shows up for me also nudie stix shows up too

[@EL-dv3ih]

Mehron makes some nice and pigmented cream blushes! Mehron is also quite affordable!

[@ginnyburley9552]

CryystalJayy -NC 35. Those would probably be good. I was thinking more of the affordable cream blushes I’ve tried. And thanks for the recommendations.

[@HannyBananny455]

I love your application shots!!! Theyre close up where I can actually see the product 😄

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you

[@lisamalcolm6916]

Amanda thank you for this video, love how you went in detail with each of these blushes. They all looked stunning on you. 💕

[@jeanie1137]

I like my cream blush to be foolproof: not oily or sticky, works with whatever base and tool i use to apply, travel-friendly and with no shimmer particles so i can literally wear it anywhere -whatever the occasion or weather may be. And Canmake Cream Blush in CL01 or Clear Red Heart definitely fits the bill. I’d give the Honest Beauty one a try though because...Jessica Alba. 😂❤️

[@AmandaZ]

Clear red?? Is it like translucent?

[@Haydee90]

@@AmandaZ yes

[@melekguseynova6991]

I use Rimmel London matte cream lipstick in the shade “trendsetter” as a cream blush, it looks perfect and lasts forever ❤️

I really enjoy your videos and I look for them! You have great attention to detail and your reviews are on point. We have the same aesthetic and that helps so much!

[@sammartin8155]

You always have the most direct reviews, they are so helpful and to the point, hope one day you review kbeauty, the tints and crreamy blushers, they have a wide variety in those categories

[@myindigoblues5796]

The Honest blush is so pretty on you! Love that one. Can't wait to try it.

[@lavender_honey9242]

i've never really been into cream blushes. a few months ago i got shiseido whipped cream blush on sale (in the shade setsuko) and now i'm in love 😍 i think it will last me for ages! it's so pigmented so you only need a tiny amount but they are soooo easy to blend. incredible product!

[@Chloe-cn3iy]

Hey, found your channel recently and I’m super excited for more videos! I found you by searching up some of my favorite products because I can never find KZbinrs who have the same favorite products and aesthetic as me. Thank you for making vids and hope you’re safe!

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you so much Chloe!!! I hope you're staying safe too. ♥️

[@stephabobepha]

Thank you for this video! Will you be doing a one for cream highlighters too? That’ll be awesome! ❤️✨🥰

Yes!!

[@sevenoctobers7471]

Excellent vid as always!! 👌 I really value the points you made especially since you have a lot of experience with higher-end formulas. 💗

[@LibbyAudrey]

Yess--I've only used Glossier Cloud Paint, but I don't use enough blush to justify the price before the product goes bad. So glad your video popped up in my recommendations.

[@wendyraye]

I appreciate your recommendations. I’m enjoying cream blushes so much lately. Funny how it wasn’t “in” years ago so several good ones were discontinued. From what I’ve heard I’m betting the Covergirl one will be discontinued soon.

[@alexiagutierrez7356]

1 year later and this video still holds up well. Everyone is talking about T28 and LYS cream blushes right now, but your video gives some awesome recommendations at great prices. I appreciate how thorough this video is and how you’re not just mentioning a bunch of trendy brands everyone is already talking about.

[@natalies1021]

Wow what a detailed and informative video! Thank you for sharing 😀 I’m really interested in trying honest beauty blushes.

[@makeupandqueermagic7557]

Just ordered the flower bomb in shade pinched. Excited to try. Thanks so much for creating your content and giving such honest reviews. You're a breath of fresh air in a world of marketing influencers...

[@wegotussomemedicalwaste]

I love the Milani ones.. They are a brand that I wish had cuter packaging because they actually have awesome products but their packaging doesn't excite me or lure me in.

[@mynx6522]

cuter packaging = more waste + more expensive 90% of the time

[@theprousteffect9717]

@@mynx6522 I hear what you're saying, but cute packaging doesn't necessarily mean more elaborate. Milani's packaging has always look perpetually dated and unappealing to me. I'd rather they simplify it and have a more minimalist aesthetic.

[@donandsteph1999]

Great video! I love the Flower Beauty and the Honest Beauty cream blushes too! I also want to try the Wet n Wild and Physician's Formula Blush sticks!

[@AmandaZ]

They're so good!! 😍 Im going to be using them a bunch for fast makeup

[@stefanikandic5488]

The wet n' wild contour sticks are amazing!!! It's such a good dupe for the Chanel tan de soleil bronzer as it's just as smooth and the colour is so similar. Also, it blends way better than the Fenty sticks! it's one of my holy grails!

[@Aly_224]

I’m so excited for this video 😭😭

[@nicolem.1288]

I love the wet n wild blush! I bought it a few months ago and now it has become a necessity in my makeup!

Just starting the video. I’m trying to decide between the Milani and the Flower Beauty and I knew you were just the person to go to! Love the timing of this video, thanks!

[@jonasfanatic2351]

thank you for all the research and information!!!!! i love physicians formula so I'm glad you liked that blush! the brand is soooo underrated! my mom turned me onto the brand, we love the multicolored powder blush.

[@heatheryi]

I bought so many of the blushes you recommended without any dissapointment! Blush is really in right now and i trust your insight

[@evinharrelson]

Thanks, you helped me decide which one to buy. I settled at first on the first PF you talked about then changed to the second one the Organic one. Color pink berry. So thanks again for this amazing and in depth review. First time I’ve seen any of your videos too.

Your skin looks so good!

[@mavrick6499]

A pretty thorough report. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@juliak116]

Thank you for this video! It's so helpful! I also really didn't like the new covergirl cream blushes and I'm glad you feel the same way because people keep giving it such good reviews. I also really love my elf cream blushes, especially their cream blush palette.

[@AmandaZ]

I really want to check out those palettes

[@Elemiriel]

Super helpful and I seem to have a similar skin tone to you, so extra helpful!

Hi Amanda; I actually really like the Physicians Formula multi stick in natural rose. It looks beautiful and it’s easy to apply to my cheeks and lips. Thank you! ❤️

[@moriikuma]

Hi Amanda, I’ve been binging your videos lately and I absolutely love your content. You’re so eloquent and thorough, yet calm and relaxed. Keep up the great work love! You’re more than just tolerable 🥰 I also was wondering if you’ve tried the Revolution Pro Blush & Lift Liquid Blushes ($4.99 at Ulta) or Ulta Stay Cheeky Liquid Blushes ($12 at Ulta), I’m curious about those formulas but haven’t seen too many videos made about them.

I recently hopped on to the cream blush and bronzer train. Currently I am really enjoying my Undone Beauty cream blush in Rosewood. It’s a lip to cheek product, and it honestly lasts so long on my oily skin.

[@AmandaZ]

Oooh I might need to check out 😉

[@caitybug2147]

I just bought this in the shade rosewood a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed. It’s such a beautiful color and lasts a while on my skin too.

[@LocaChoca]

Have you tried E.L.F. Cosmetics’ Jelly pop blushes? Those are surprisingly good, and super affordable. They are glowy and can be built up to be very pigmented. They can also apply over foundation.

[@AmandaZ]

I haven't tried!! I need to check em out 👀👀

[@LocaChoca]

@@AmandaZ I think ELF is having a sale on them right now for a couple bucks a piece on their website. I kinda want to stock up on them, in case they discontinue them anytime soon.

Yes! ♥️

[@mustloveeyeshadow7799]

It's nice to see someone actually comparing the different blush formulas. I'm definitely going to have to try the physicians formula stick blush and the honest beauty one. I'm always on the look for a more cream to powder formula as my glasses brush my cheeks and dewy blush end up all over them. Have you tried the new ulta cream blushes? The tube looks similar to the flower beauty packaging.

[@AmandaZ]

I haven't tried them but I did notice that!!! Thank you :)

[@ellie4943]

Oh also as someone with SUPER fair skin (cover fx N10) the maybelline cheek heat works perfectly, because I need something very sheer for my skin tone. The lavender one is so unique and pretty, I would definitely recommend checking it out if you’re interested. It looks like halfway between fuchsia and lavender on my skin. I love it on skin focused days to add a bit of something unique.

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you so so much!!! I think I might check it out I have been loving a unique color 😍

Totally!!

[@TheAndijo81]

Loved this video!! So helpful! But I’d like to ask the colourpop one does it last a good while or how would you describe how long it lasts? Xx

[@RiverSlant]

Amanda, I wonder if you've tried the Aritaum sugarball cushion blusher, because the shades (at least the ones I've tried) do not have any glitter), and they last ALL day on my oily skin even during peak tropic summer.

[@AmandaZ]

I haven't!! But you're the second person to ask about it ;)

[@TheSim1derful]

Y'all I love the Physicians Formula dewy elixir blush, but does anyone else find there are weird grains of pigment in it? I have to apply it, wait for it to set, then brush all the weird grains off.

[@carriemroczkowski9409]

Gasp...I wasn’t notified for this one. Talk about a tragedy, lol. Really though, this is 100% my jam. I love cream products, esp blushes, and appreciate that they’re all affordable options. I adore Roosevelt as well. I really want to try As far as the Canmake formulas, does anyone know which (if any) shades don’t have glitter? NYX has a cream blush that has been around for a long time. I can’t even remember when I bought it, but it’s still one of my faves. I wish I remembered the name of it. What’s so special about it is the shade I have. It’s orange, but so wearable on my very fair skin. It’s also pretty pigmented but easy to apply just enough. Thanks so much, girlie🍃🌸

[@alessandramontes8318]

With the maybelline cream blush I found that one shade you use in the video is sheer. However, I have the shade rose flush and that one is much more pigmented. It’s almost like two completely different formulas

[@aura3337]

Yes! Cream blushes- I love em! And I have every one that you mentioned (I agree on the couple that weren’t too good). Actually I don’t have Canmake but I’ve been eyeing them- definitely purchasing a shade now. Thank you! Love your taste in makeup 😍

Thank you for this video. My first attempt at cream blushes was Elf. It was a great start since it offers 4 shades in one compact but it doesn't last long. I recently bought the Mabelline one, very wet and made me break out.. Not sure why. I don't like shimmer or too dewy. From how I've described what I like, do you suggest the Honest brand? I'm leaning that way...I think, lol
