Thank you for always calling out any absurdity of prices!! A lot of influencers introduce products encouraging people to try it without consideration on how a lot of people can't afford it, or at least talk about dupes 😭

[@BirdieBirdieBirdie566]

Don’t ever stop putting on blush. Also thoughts on lavender blush. All I want is purple blush and I don’t know why.

[@hickchicklori2278]

Me too...I love cool purply pink or maroon and purple blushes but good ones are hard to find. I use lipstick alot

[@DulceDelFlores]

You are not alone. Been wanting blush with more purple color values forever

[@Autumn_Blessings]

I love lavender highlighter

[@iCrazy13]

Check out Danessa Myricks Vision Flush in Grape, Fenty cream blush in Drama Cla$$, and Clinique Pansy Pop. I love purple blush too

[@leahfrances8252]

I just love hearing you talk about color theory and blush application!! It’s so interesting and you have the language for thoughts I’m having!

[@susanstetson3435]

With all the different blushes you put on it still looks great. So pretty!!

[@kristencomacho3559]

This was everything I needed in my life. You’re my favorite youtuber. 👏

[@stephanieann631]

How do you keep posting videos about every single thing I am interested in at the moment? I am so glad I discovered your channel because your entire aesthetic is one of the first that I really connect with. Thank you for all you do!

[@aprilmariewarren4813]

Ohhhh I loved this video! Even more loved that you ended with Salt New York! My fav products TO DATE!

[@leahfrances8252]

Ahhh yess! The queen of cream blush has blessed us ✨🧚‍♂️👑

[@liftbakelove]

Wearing an almost full face of Salt New York today (including on my eyes), and I love them and totally agree with your thoughts here. They are so good, and I can't wait to get my pre-ordered mini palette and the rest of the blushes so I can have all of them.

[@clareskaife4047]

This is joy, hanging out with you is the best. It's so funny hearing you talk about how watching Kiki G helped the penny drop on not having to powder your face halfway to the grave, bc you've done the exact same thing for me - stumbling across your OG 'how to get a glossier face with acne' video however many years ago liberated me from a life of high coverage makeup that sucked the life out of my skin! Even when my skin is doing me dirty, I've never felt prettier than when I'm wearing all cream products, with my brows fluffed to the heavens and six different kinds of blush on - you did that! And it's the greatest, so thank you x

[@nataliesill4487]

It’s so nice to watch a beauty KZbinr who loves blush as much as I do!

[@kimmcconnell3854]

I am so glad that you have introduced me to cream blushes (and the awesome Thrive and BE)!

[@jucampy]

I got the Fenty Rosé Latte cream blush because of you & it is my new favorite!!

[@JoyfullyThrifted]

You introduced me to the salt NY Over a year ago and it’s been my favorite ever since!! Nothing compares. I’ve got two preorders in now and recently ordered the fenty during friends and family sale. So waiting for those.

[@amymurphy8000]

I have the Glossier Storm and Dusk, and I think when you mix the two together, it’s a really pretty color (rose/bronze) and similar to the Beam and Storm mix. They (of course )look beautiful on their own too! Thanks for another wonderful video ☺️

[@Olivia-oo6xf]

Oh my god I’m so excited 😭😭

[@frumtheground]

lol so funny what you said about your first cream blush video. That was the the first video I watched of you and I still love that one! It was like, FINALLY SOMEONE WHO LOVES BLUSH AS MUCH AS ME!!

[@TC-lb2kz]

Yay!!! So excited for this video!

[@SaucerJess]

Your videos are so helpful and informative! Thank you for making them 💚

[@iCrazy13]

That is exactly what I use Drama Cla$$ for - to cool things down! Wow, I’ve found a kindred spirit to watch - colour theory and blush are my two favourite things to nerd out about

[@sarahunter35]

Two cream blushes that I really want to try are the BareMinerals bounce and blur and the MAC glow play - they just look so pretty

[@PoisonPearHFX]

Super helpful! I pre-ordered the Salt New York tints and I’m so excited about them. I think I’m really going to love them

[@xfalseidolsfall]

Hey Kackie! So excited to watch this video! You’ve converted me to a cream blush fan all the way and I love it!!! I also wanted to mention that I would love to see a video about the melasma you’ve mentioned-I’m currently experiencing it for the first time and was curious on tricks for coverage and products that may help it! If you already have a video about it, I may have missed it! 🖤

[@kackie]

Hey! Check out any of my skincare routines and my “how I healed my acne” videos. The short of it is custom retinol. Chemical peels. Medical intervention. I can’t treat it that way right now because I’m pregnant, so I can’t do a video on that for a while!

[@xfalseidolsfall]

Kackie Reviews Beauty Oh snap I didn’t even think about that interfering with pregnancy! Thanks for the tip and for referring me back to another video! 🖤🖤

[@alisonsmarra]

Recent sub and I'm so glad I found you! Blush is my numero uno too, I think because -- somewhat similar to you -- I have a longer, slightly angular face and pale olive-y skin so blush is the one color makeup item that makes the MOST difference. Love the length and detail and thoughtfulness of your videos. Keep em coming! 🤩

[@thingsbytheberk]

I love this video! Thank you for comparing so many formulas!!

[@spontaneousun]

LOVE IT! You’re a queen thank you!!! I’m now intrigued by the honest beauty blushes for their affordability, but am curious how their full range may compare shade wise to some of the GORGEOUS blushes you swatched here! Also, I don’t use a lot of make-up so I was curious to know if you felt the kosas formula degraded more quickly than others. It’s short shelf life has paused me from experimenting with their blushes.

[@lauras2129]

I’m waiting for my Salt New York pre-order including some tints. Really excited for it!

[@SaucerJess]

Yay! Love the Salt Creme Tints!!! 💚

[@mayalubaroff6410]

YESSS!! Cream blush is the best product!!!

[@lovinthemetalz]

LOVE LOVE LOVE all the cream blush!

[@MsAngieNightmare]

Yay, your last cream blush video was how I found your channel. Now I feel like a real fan.

[@kackie]

Aw!!

[@pamelawolf313]

Omg! I agree with you about the honest beauty cream blushes. I keep telling everyone about them, and nobody cares. I don’t have my own channel haha and live in rural Indiana where blush isn’t a regular topic of discussion, ya know?

[@jackieneversays]

I haven’t tried them, what are your favorite shades ?

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Yes, wish Honest would expand the shades of their cream blush.

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

@@jackieneversays there are only 3 colors

[@skinsciencebymira]

@@hallievanoutryve3109 I’ve literally msged them this same thing and requested a bronzer version lol

[@RachelDee]

Sees title. Clicked and liked right away. I pre-ordered the Salt New York mini last night and was nervous waiting to see how highly you'd compare it to the other blushes. Thank you kindly for this ranking, oh Queen of Blush! P.s. I appreciate your thoughts on the Fenty formula.

[@ybperky1]

This is an exciting video because I’m venturing into cream products AND blush for the first time! I just got the honest cream blush today and have kiki’s on the way when those ship :)

[@deborahlee7945]

How do you not have more subs? You're the cutest!

[@StateofKait]

Totally agree about the Ilia blushes- A Fine Romance is so freaking pigmented but All Of Me is super duper sheer. I wish they met in the middle!

[@coryp5250]

I love learning about colors from you lol. I feel like I'm in an art class for faces and I love it

[@amandadennison5413]

Because of you I love and prefer cream products. Thank you for this video! As always you are fun and informative! 🤗🙌👏

[@kackie]

Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@nkurdy288]

I don’t necessarily know much about clean beauty, but my fav fav fav cream blush for the past 20 years (😯) has been the Stila Convertible Color. It’s so healthy looking, and instantly picks up my complexion 🥰. Lilium, peony, gladiola, and petunia are 🔥

[@samanthaimrie2918]

Late to this video but so excited! I’m also a blush fiend and I def prefer cream!!!

[@lala-yn5iy]

Was watching and of course loving. But made sure to hit like upon "more is more"😂

[@marie-manuelatheuil-ruiz2617]

You just have the greatest personality 😍 Thank you for this video! I’m getting into cream blushes and use mainly clean beauty so I’m so fucking happy I found you! Have a great day!

[@kateeyoko]

Love 💕 cream blush! Such a good roundup.

[@DogGoneDayz]

Love this video! You got me on the Salt NY site, 50% off preorders, woot! Missing my Kosas Cream Blushes now :( Must buy them again as wore the Papaya/tropic equinox in Hawaii last year, I agree they are DREAMY!

[@yveyve7115]

Luv this video. Started experimenting with cream blushes after your prior one.

[@nodhill]

Just ordered my mini palette from Salt! Cant wait! Thanks for the rundown, probably hard for you not to smear all the blushes on your face...

[@TheDangerzhao]

This had me itching to put on my cream blushes at 12:30 in the morning

[@mayrasanchez745]

im def going to buy some blush after this video :)

[@dubioc7678]

Love this video 😊 Kosas is my favorite one 🤓

[@neilmorello8235]

Just subscribed!! Best video! Q for you... what is your best, most cost effective cream blush Brush?

[@patriciarok701]

This was so helpful 😍 Thank you very much!

[@StateofKait]

Aww thank you for the shout out! I will definitely revisit the Fenty blushes when I can swatch them in a store, or figure out which one of the lighter ones I want the most.

[@StateofKait]

Ooooo I think rose latte is the one

[@KimLe985]

You’ve sold me on the Salt pallet! Just bought it and they have a preorder sale on their bundles right now and you get 50% off! Total score!

[@weesouthie]

Hi Kackie! What fun you are:) I typically turn up the video speed on these but you are perfect just as you are! Do you happen to have the Ilia multi-stick in All of Me (warm watermelon description)? It is a perfect match to my natural lip color and flushed cheeks, but it’s so sheer on me and a bit oilier than others. I would love a recommendation from your favorites if one is similar in color?!

[@palmskrymme]

Your makeup theory is rare girl. You don't cover up with foundation and you don't contour with brown!!!! You are a favorite personal shopper.

[@maddy8135]

I would love another Salt New York video!

[@pixi78]

Yes I agree! I can’t wait for my Salt New York order.

[@dobcsek]

I’m new to cream products, but I got some Nudestix the other day and I’m a convert now. I just ordered a bunch of cream stuff from Salt New York - they have a sale now. Can’t wait to get them. :) Thanks for the video and the tips.

[@gracew5695]

Kosas violet fury on the cheeks as a blush is **chefs kiss**

[@Oranaiche1]

So a funny thing happened last night. I fugued and when I came to I was on the Westman Atelier website with the foundation stick in my cart. After reviewing my credit card statement I determined I’ve done enough online shopping and it would be irresponsible to buy a $68 foundation. Then I went back to the website and bought the $68 foundation. However I feel pretty justified after watching this and once again seeing how gorgeous it is. Thankfully I’m safe from any new blush purchases because I have pretty much every blush you talked about here, other than the Westman Atelier (seriously I cannot) and the Cheek SLIME (a cursed name!). Another lovely video, Swatch Queen!

[@lilmouseygirl79]

I can't wait to see baby Kackie covered in blush swatches!!!! LoL

[@mahvishdanka3668]

If you like She’s Seductive from Patrick Ta, I think you would really enjoy Buff Beige from the bare minerals bounce and blur collection!

[@marthamott1136]

Looooooove Salt Beauty blushes. The shade Rose is the perfect neutral.

[@lyndsaytimmins2665]

Hi Kackie!! Saying hi from Canada! Can you please do a favourite eye shadow palettes video!! I’m a new follower so I’m sorry if you’ve done one, I scrolled through your videos but couldn’t find one. Love your channel! Love you! So happy and honest!

[@MissHannah2036]

Being from Australia we don't have half the range available in the US. I had never used cream blush before so was a bit nervous. But as I was ordering Glossier balm dot com. my go to lip balm, I thought why not try something a little more exciting. I have to order through 3rd party to get Glossier as they do not ship to AU. Anyway I ordered Beam and Dusk and absolutely love the two equally. Used with a stippling brush can also be used over makeup without removing foundation. Great video, so much work has gone into it :)

[@SarahHublerTheBeautyHub]

I cannot wait until my Salt NY order comes next month!!

[@ASchultz87]

Hey Kackie love you and all of your videos! Anyone you recommend for someone with a more tan complexion to watch? I love all of your recommendations for products and I’m looking now for some shade recommendations.

[@allieb.1006]

Love it!

[@annemarieestall7850]

I haven’t tried tropic equinox, but I’m wondering if it might be similar in shade to the cloud paint in dusk🤔🤔

[@cheerhurts]

I picked up the Revolution Pro “Blush and Lift” liquid blush on a whim and I’m actually loving it!!! Just a good affordable one to maybe try. Would love to hear your thoughts!

[@davinschnappauf6876]

So many lovely shades of pink/mauve/rose etc!!! You mentioned your friend Kate when you were talking about the Fenty blushes, what is her channel?

[@maddy8135]

I’ve ordered the Salt New York mini pallet today after long deliberation and I noticed that a pan is 0.15 oz. How long does a pan last you? Just wondering! Lived the video!

[@kristinj4087]

What brush do you use during this for the blushes?! I love it!!!

[@nikkitomes9880]

As I was pondering the internet for a new blush brush I thought to myself... who better to ask than the blush goddess herself, Kackie! We all know cream is King however any recommendations for a powder blush brush? Hope you and your little babe are well!

[@rochellesady]

Golden Hour is now available on the tower 28 site! Also, if you like orangey shades, I can vouch for the Onomie stick in Toasted Papaya being gorgeous, if you've yet to try it. Oh, and Honest Beauty in Coral Peach. I just ordered Golden Hour, Happy Hour, and the darker bronzer from Tower 28 thanks to you and Kristy showing me the magic of the fake sunburn. ;)

[@Home-qe6ue]

When you said apply lipstick as your cream blush I literally did it. My blush was looking a little pale lol 😝

[@rosai.4371]

no Kjaer Weis cream blushes? Their fantastic and I'd like to hear your opinion about. :)

[@strawbemmy]

ahhh ive been binge watching your videos since i found your channel yesterday and i cant stop! quick question! as someone who clearly has a love of cream blush, did you ever try tarte's cheek stains; the ones that came in the stick? i completely used up and adored mine but they discontinued them a looong time ago. i havent been able to find a cream/liquid blush that has had quite the same effect as the tarte one. if youve not tried it, it had this heavenly glossy glassy finish. it didnt set down much at all and stayed almost tacky (which im guessing was a turn off for most people but that was my favourite part!). it was glossier than, lets say, a milk blush or the cloud paints. do you have any recommendations that sound similar? or, out of the cream blushes youve tried, which do you think sounds the closest to that? if anyone can help me find a dupe, im pretty sure it'd be you so i thought i'd take a chance and ask. thank you in advance!!

[@strawbemmy]

ok woah woah hold on, i just got to the part in this video where you talk about kosas' blushes and yes yes yes. that sounds like almost exactly what im looking for. i think i'll have to try that out next!! i have a good feeling about them, they look stunning!

[@skiergirl4753]

I wish Kosas would package the highlights separately. I use the High Intensity Eighth Muse. It is lovely on my cheeks and I use the highlight on my cheekbones and my eyelids. The other tones of blush are too warm for me but I would buy the highlighters to use on my lids and cheekbones once I get more summer colour. Any pull with them? 😉

[@kackie]

Lol no Im not that influential

[@betsybabf748]

I found a cream blush stick that I have no idea where I got (know I did not buy myself) and didn't even know brand, but I fell in love with it. Finally tracked it down and brand is Au Naturalle, which I never heard of, but the multistick is at Ulta for $35. I have Grapefruit, which is basically my perfect color and am buying the other shade, but it is so good. I don't know anyone who has heard of them, and at $35, not a cheap brand (and organic, vegan, crielty free, etc.), but perfection.

[@StateofKait]

YAAAASSSSSSSSS

[@skylarbriggs5675]

Im wondering what your thoughts are on vanity makeup cosmetics trios

[@emmaociee]

Ok, do you have advice for someone who has fallen in love with the application of the Tata Harper cream blush (shade Very Popular)? I want to branch out into another formulation, but the Tata Harper is just so much more forgiving than other creams I have tried. I'm not a pro at blending or application yet 😆

My kosas tropic equinox cream blush is about to run out. Any of your cream blushes seem similar? something by ilia? Or Manasi 7? Kjaer Weis? I love tropic equinox but I don’t want duplicates of the highlighter.

[@NayNay97xoxo]

how do u feel like fenty rose latte compares to glossier dusk shade wise?? i’ve been searching for a dupe for dusk for forever!! i tried kosas tropic equinox and the color is a dead ringer for dusk but my face eats the kosas blush so fast it’s gone in like 2 hours
