Once upon a time, cream blushers were touted as skin-like pops of creamy cheek colour. Except, actually, they never really popped. Which is why I rarely recommended them – particularly for darker skin tones. There’s a fallacy that anyone who wants cream blusher will happily sacrifice pigment for the creamy texture. Newsflash: everyone wants both. Thankfully, they have upped their game. Cream blushers can now deliver both subtle and tangible pops of colour, blend into skin like serum, rarely need reapplying and are perfect for summer.
