Contour and highlight products were the beauty community’s objects of obsession in the past few years, but now it’s safe to say that cream blush is stealing their place.
In 2022, cream blush purchases have received an 89% increase compared to previous years. One of the suggested causes for this newfound love for cream blush is that they tend to have a more natural, skinlike finish. Another reason is along with tint and stick blushes, cream blushes are usually considered a multitasking beauty product that can be used on other parts of the face like the eyes and lips.
Have you jumped on the cream blush trend?
On social media, the growing number of TikTok trends centred around blush products also add to the blush rush. And of course, buzzworthy celebrity beauty looks like Sofia Richie’s recent wedding makeup (where cream blush was part of the routine) also shows the current appeal of this beauty product.
