I love cream & mousse blush, either worn as a gentle hint of colour over my liquid foundations, or simply over a tinted spf moisturiser. I can sheer them out or layer them for a more dramatic flush of colour depending on the look I am trying to achieve.

I am certainly not limited to one brand & low or higher end does not matter to me. I just love the gentle sheen & feel of cream & liquid blushes. The colour palette I prefer are pinks, apricots & mauves that mainly give a matte or satin finish.

My favourite brands and colours are:

- Chi Chi Sheer Colour Cream: Love you Long Time & Va Va Va Voom

- NYX: 01 Rose Petal, 02 Natural & 11 Boho Chic

- MAC Blush Crème Brit Wit

- Red Earth: Illuminating Cream Blush: Summer Love & Pink Breeze

- L’Oreal HIP Blending Blendable Blushing Crème: #896 Enamoured

- Rimmel Mousse Blush: #005 Frozen Cherry

- Bobbi Brown Cream Blush Stick: #8 Dusty Mauve

- Stila Color Push-ups: Rose Flash

- Tarte Natural Cheek Stain: Green Siren

- Guerlain Divinora Bubble Blush: 00 Light Whisper

Above (left to Right): The NYX Rouge Cream Blush "Boho Chic", "Natural" & "Rose Petal". I purchased from www.crushcosmetics.com.au & I am pleased with the application (does not leave a greasy feeling).

Both the Chi Chi sheer colour creams are shimmery & can be used for highlighting & adding spots of colour to the face. Pictured above left is "Love You Long Time", right "Va Va Va Voom" (both are discontinued)

Pictured below: (left to right) Mac BlushCreme in "Brit Wit", L'Oreal HIP B/Blushing Cream "Enamoured" & Rimmel Mousse Blush "Frozen Cherry"

The Guerlain Bubble mousse blush (below) is the palest pink that I own & is more a splash of shimmer & sparkle for highlight than an actual "blush".

The Tarte "Green Siren" cheek stain leaves a lovely apricot shimmer to the cheeks & both of the Red Earth Illuminating Cream Blushes "Pink Breeze" & "Summer Love" (pictured L-R above) are a mousse consistency providing bright highlights of shimmer as well.

Whereas, the Bobbi Brown Cream Blush Stick in "Dusty Mauve" (below) is more brown toned than mauve & could be used for contouring depending on your skin tone.

I prefer to use foundation brushes to apply the cream or mousse blush but have recently started to use a stippling brush to place & blend the colour to give a natural finish.
