One category I’e shied away from, are all things cream. It can sometimes be difficult to work with, and intimidating figuring out the best way of application. I recently changed my perspective, thanks to Smith & Cult’s new cream formulas so I had to share my experience working with the product.
Flash Flush Cream Velvet Blush - Cool Pink ($24)
I received the blush as a gift, and immediately began to play with it. Unlike other cream blushes, the velvety texture allows you to apply it almost like a powder. Without being overpowering, it is buildable and easily corrected if you apply too much, by simply blending it in with your foundation brush or blotting some off with a sponge. The cream formula allows it to blend in seamlessly with your foundation, for a natural flush appearance to your cheeks.
I’ve used it a few times so far, and it has yet to disappoint me. You can leave it unset with a dewy foundation for a luminous appearance, on top of a matte foundation for a natural matte rosiness on your cheeks, or as a base to add luminosity under a powder blush.
I have one shade for now, but plan on adding the other 3 to my collection. If you’re interested in testing the formula for yourself, check out Smith & Cult’s full range of cosmetic products in their Online Store, or at Ulta’s nationwide.
