Do you get bored with blush that fades after one hour? Or maybe, you've also had a problem with patchy blush or unnatural coloration on your skin complexion? Using the wrong blush can be frustrating and leave you wondering why your makeup doesn’t look as flawless as in Instagram photos.
Good news! L.A. Girl has developed blush formulas for all skin types and tastes. Whether you prefer a natural flush or a dramatic color hit, we've covered it with options that last and appear natural.
Let's begin with the three primary blush types and determine which suits you best!
Liquid Blush: The Dewy Dream
What Is Liquid Blush?
With its water-like consistency, liquid blush gives your skin a fresh, radiant finish. It's lightweight, buildable, and melts into your skin for that "I just went for a brisk walk" flush. Liquid blush works wonderfully for no-makeup makeup looks, creating a healthy, radiant finish that many crave.
Perfect For:
-
Normal to dry skin types
-
Anyone who wants a natural, dewy finish
-
Makeup minimalists
-
Winter months, when skin needs extra hydration
How To Apply
Apply a small amount to your fingertips or cheeks, then lightly tap to blend. Start slowly; one can always add more!
Cream Blush: The Versatile Classic
What is Cream Blush?
Cream blush feels soft and buttery against the skin and slips on easily. Thicker in pigment than liquids but equally as blendable, cream blush produces color and moisturizes your complexion. It delivers a natural appearance that can be layered for additional impact.
Great For:
-
Mature or dry skin
-
Medium coverage
-
Round-the-clock wear
-
Beginners with makeup (extremely forgiving to apply)
How To Use
Using your fingers, a makeup sponge, or a dense brush, apply the product to the apples of your cheeks. The cream blush feels soft and buttery against the skin and slips on easily. Blend outward toward your temples for a natural flush. The ease of application makes cream blush a comfortable and convenient choice for any makeup routine.
L.A. Girl's Star Player
L.A. Girl Soft Matte Cream Blush's easy-to-use packaging makes application extremely easy. The cream-based texture applies easily and blends evenly, giving your cheeks a soft, natural look. Available in eight complementary colors, these blushes can be applied to the cheeks and fingertips, allowing easy blending straight from the packaging. The stick design is ideal for quick and convenient touch-ups while on the move.
Powder Blush: The Timeless Standard
What is Powder Blush?
Powder blush is the original formula most of us began with. It comes in a compact form and is typically applied using a soft, fluffy brush. Powder blush is great for oil control and lasts longer on oily skin types.
Perfect For:
-
Oily or combination skin
-
Those who desire long-lasting color
-
Makeup enthusiasts who prefer a matte finish
-
Applying it over cream or liquid blush can help extend its wear
How To Apply
Use a blush brush to apply product, gently knock off excess, and sweep the color over the apples of your cheeks, blending upwards towards your temples.
L.A. Girl's Star Player
L.A. Girl's Just Blushing Powder Blush has ten gorgeous colors for all skin types. Its smooth texture applies evenly and blends perfectly without being cakey. The blushes feature finely milled powder that is light to the touch yet provides your cheeks with the ultimate burst of color that lasts all day.
Which Blush Type Is Right For You?
Liquid vs. Powder Blush
Liquid blush is your go-to if you have dry skin and want a natural glow. If you have oily skin or want your blush to last all day, powder blush will be your best friend.
Cream vs. Liquid Blush
They both work great for dry skin, but cream blush generally delivers more color payoff and is easier to use. Liquid blush delivers the sheerest, most natural-looking finish.
Cream vs. Powder Blush
Cream blush provides moisture and a dewy finish, working well for dry or mature skin. Powder blush controls shine and lasts longer on oily skin.
Pro Tips for Applying Blush
-
To achieve a natural look, smile, and gently apply blush to the rounded area of your cheeks.
-
Place the color slightly higher on the cheekbones to achieve a lifting effect.
-
To look sun-kissed: Brush a slight blush over the bridge of your nose.
-
Apply powder blush on top of cream or liquid foundations for prolonged use.

Regardless of the L.A. Girl blush you're using, start with a small amount and build up gradually. It is always better to add more than to take away too much.
