How to use cream makeup products, and make them last all day!

Cream makeup products can be a fantastic addition to anyone's makeup collection. They provide a subtle, dewy finish that looks natural and radiant on the skin, and are renowned for being easy to apply, even for makeup newbies! From cream blushes and bronzers to skin tints, there are many products available that can be easily incorporated into your routine and elevate your makeup!

What are Cream Makeup Products?

Cream products are simply makeup products with a cream or emollient base. This base helps to blend seamlessly into the skin, avoiding any unwanted lines or streaks. Some of our popular cream makeup products include the Glow Milk Cream Blushers (we just added some new shades! 😍) and Vitamin Babe Cream Bronzers. 

How to Apply Cream Makeup Products

To apply cream makeup products, you'll need to have a few tools on hand. A beauty sponge, a foundation brush, or your fingers (just make sure they’re clean) can all work well for blending creams into your skin. 

Here are a few tips on how to apply cream makeup products:

• Begin with a clean and well-moisturised base. This will help your cream makeup products blend better. We love our peptide barrier balm for ultra hydrated skin.
• Apply your foundation or concealer as usual before using any cream blush, bronze or highlighters
• Start with bronzer first, then blush, then highlighter.
• Dab a small amount onto your brush or finger and gently tap onto your cheeks. Blend in circular motions.
• If you’re using cream eyeshadows, apply them with your fingers or use a brush, focusing on the lids and then blending out.

How to Make Cream Makeup Products Last All Day

One of the biggest concerns with cream makeup is longevity. It can sometimes fade faster than powder makeup products. Here are a few helpful tips to make sure your makeup lasts throughout the day:

1. Begin with a clean and moisturised base.
2. Use a primer before applying any makeup. This will help to smooth out your skin and prevent your makeup from sliding off. A gripping primer like Oui Cherie is really going to help your cream products stay put.
3. Set your cream makeup products with a powder. This will help lock the cream product in place and keep it looking fresh throughout the day. We love to set our Glow Milk Cream Blush with its complimentary Glow Milk Powder Blush shade. Pick & Mix your duo’s here. 
4. Use a setting spray at the end of your makeup routine. This will further help to set your makeup and keep it looking hydrated all day. 

With these helpful tips and tricks, you'll be able to include cream makeup products in your daily makeup routine without any setbacks.
