Review : Maxfactor Cream Blush, is cream better than powder?

I always hesitant to buy a cream blush, I used to always trust my powder brush, and think that a cream blush is hard to blend and will end up making you look like a clown, only an expert would love this kind of product.

Well, I guess I’m wrong, when the first time I tried it, I absolutely falling in love with a cream blush. It’s so easy to apply and so easy to blend, you just need your finger, or even a brush if you want to. It’s pigmented enough but you have a lot of time to blend it, because the texture is creamy and not easily dry. 

If you ask me, which one is better? cream blush or powder blush? I will definitely pick cream blush, it's easier to apply, gives you a natural blush, and no shimmer or glittery effect, which I don't like.

Now, move on to the review, Maxfactor cream blush is absolutely a good buy, the price is in the medium range but the result is amazing. I bought it in 2 different colours, they actually have 4, but the other 2 is more suitable for darker skin.

So, the one that I bought is Soft Pink and Soft Cooper. Soft pink is more of a baby pink color, and soft cooper is a peach color. Both are gorgeous, I love them and wear it daily. They will look like a natural blush, no one will notice you wear a blush, and that’s how you get a makeup no makeup look, I Loved it.

If you want me to choose, I like soft pink better, it really does give me a natural look. The soft cooper is lovely too, but for my fair to  medium skin, soft pink suites me better.

I usually apply it after foundation, and after that I will apply my finishing powder or just my loose powder, depends on my mood. The staying power is around 8 hours, but if you want a longer staying power, you can always use your powder blush after you use your powder, and it will last a whole day. But I don’t, because 8 hours is enough for me.

As you can see in the pictures below, the color is so natural, so I can't actually captured it, but in real life it's really a good color yet so natural.
