If there's one makeup product that can completely transform your face, it's without a doubt blush.
But when it's time to choose, the same questions always pop up at the vanity: powder or cream? Which one suits my skin type best? How do I apply it?
At CORAZONA we're total blush addicts, so we've put together this ultimate guide to help you tell the different types of blush apart, find your ideal format and get the most out of them with our favorites from the store.
Cream blush: the king of juicy, dewy skin
If you're after a natural, fresh finish with that glowy effect, cream is your best friend.
It's ideal for dry, mature or dehydrated skin, as it doesn't settle into fine lines or emphasize flaky patches. It's also perfect if you love an everyday "no-makeup" look.
It melts in beautifully with your fingers, a sponge or a dense brush. Plus, most cream blushes are multi-use, so you can also apply them to your lips and eyes for an express monochrome look in 2 minutes.
Blush In Multi-Stick Blushes
The stick format is super convenient, perfect for your bag or for travel. If you love warm shades, you'll fall for Sweet Peach, and if you prefer something bolder, like a "just-pinched" flush, Berry Wine is your pick.
If you collect textures, the limited-edition magnetic case The Masterpiece holds four stunning shades in a creamy, fine, buildable formula that won't disturb the base underneath.
Powder blush: the foolproof classic
Powder is the great classic, but today's formulas have come so far that they no longer leave that cakey look of the past. Now they're silky, pigmented and ultra-light.
It's the perfect format for combination to oily skin, as it helps keep shine under control throughout the day. It's also the best choice if you want your makeup to stay flawless all day or all night.
Alegría x Alma Collection Powder Blushes
Their velvety texture melts into the skin like magic. The shade Canela en rama is perfect for adding warmth, Bocao gives you that vibrant touch and Caricia is the most subtle, elegant dusty pink for every day.
How to choose your blush for every occasion
What if we told you that you don't have to choose just one? The big trick for summer or special events is layering, also known as setting.
First apply your Blush In Stick cream blush to the skin for volume and a juicy finish.
Set it right on top with a light touch of powder blush from the Alegría x Alma collection.
The color will be twice as intense, and your blush will be completely locked in: it'll stand up to long hours, heat and sweat!
