Milani Cheek Kiss Liquid Blush Rose Romance 10.8ml

Product Information

It also gets bonus points for versatility, since you can use it on both cheeks and lips for a monochromatic look. However, it may inadvertently lift your complexion products, such as foundation and concealer, depending on their formulation. The general rule is to pair like with like, so a liquid blush will blend best over a liquid foundation. But even if you swear by powder or cream foundations, there's not much harm in trying this one out, given its affordability, to see how it works with your overall routine. Thanks to an influx of tons of new additions to the market in recent years, you can now find cream blushes in various formats and finishes. "Just like with foundation, you need to tailor it to your own needs," says makeup artist Andreea Ali. "You can have different finishes like matte, satin, or slightly shimmery, so it all depends on your preference." It pairs a weightless feel with buildable color, so you can wear it sheer for a natural flush or apply more for added drama. It blends beautifully, Jaikaran says, and is incredibly pigmented. Heads up, though: While that pigment is a plus, it’s "very easy to go overboard,” says Emily Gray, celebrity makeup artist and ambassador for Catrice Cosmetics, who’s a fan of the radiant finishes in particular. This dermatologist-tested liquid blush is safe for sensitive skin and contains a blend of lotus, gardenia, and white water lily to nourish and soothe your complexion. We're also impressed that Soft Pinch is the sole blush that's available in both radiant and matte finishes.

If you're new to using cream blush or you're simply looking for a great option from the drugstore, this gem from Milani is a great place to start. It's affordable, easy to apply, and looks beautiful on the skin.Our one con with this one is that it's not the most long-wearing formula—it fades significantly after a few hours. However, it's an easy blush to re-apply and touch up throughout the day thanks to the workable texture that can be applied with your fingertips.

If you're looking to achieve that fresh-looking, lit-from-within glow, cream blush is a must. Buttery-smooth formulas make it easy to add a natural-looking flush, and unlike their powdery counterparts, they're often hydrating, glow-inducing, and super blendable. Many can even be applied with your fingers, making them ideal for on-the-go glam. Liquid blushes tend to be super-concentrated, which is why you can usually find them in tiny tubes and bottles. And because a single dab will usually have a ton of pigment, a blendable formula is key. “They have to be easily buffed out with either a dense brush, beauty blender, or your fingers,” says Gray. “I also like when the first layer of blush is sheerer, so that I can build the product up. If there is too much pigment, it does not look as seamless.” What We Don’t Love: The formula is so sheer that you might go through a tube ASAP and the lighter hues might not show up on deeper skin tones. Like eyeshadow and eyeliner, there are no real limitations to what liquid blush shade is best for your skin tone. “You can wear any shade — just choose the right intensity of the shade you’re going for,” says Jaikaran. If you have fair skin and have your heart set on a bold berry blush, then go for it.

Most of these liquid blushes are available in at least two shades, except for one TikTok-famous beauty product: Youthforia BYO Blush, which changes color to suit your beautiful complexion! How to Apply What We Love: It has great staying power for a liquid blush and can be used on both cheeks and lips.Like any blush, liquid blushes come in a variety of finishes; you can find options that skew shimmery, matte, dewy or radiant. Choosing the right finish depends partly on the look you’re going for and partly on your skin type. If you like your blush to look natural and almost undetectable on the skin, this is the one for you. The formula applies easily and is buildable but not overly pigmented, and because it melts into your complexion seamlessly, it's great for no-makeup makeup days. What We Love: You can find it in bestselling shades of NARS other popular blush shades, like Orgasm. Try the Milani Make It Dewy Hydrate + Illuminate Setting Spray to get that barely there, effortless dewy finish. Finish with a sheer Cheek Kiss Liquid Blush in your favourite shade, and you’re ready to turn heads with a casual daytime look.
