Creme blush, powder blush, cheek stain?

Kelly · Hermes

I use a powder brush, but admittedly I haven't tried a cheek stain. The only non-powder blush I've tried was Maybelline Matte Mousse, and I don't know if that qualifies as a creme or what? I retired it because it was too sparkly for my taste...I'd rather look like I woke up with that flush

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

I've tried that mousse also and had the same result, though I did end up buying the bronzer (which basically matched my skin tone!) for those days when I want a little sparkle!

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

I'm still using Nars Orgasm. Not sure if it is still "cool" but it works for me. I am afraid I'd screw up a cheek stain so I've never tried it.

Hermes

my standby is L'Oreal cappuchine or something like that.

I have benefit stain, and have used that on my cheeks and lips in the past when I wanted a natural glow.

it's cooler than my L'Oreal powder blush, that's for sure...

I use the Khol's orgasm knockoff. I can't figure cheek stain out (how do I apply it so it just doesn't look like stripes of color?) and I have yet to find a creme in a color that works for me (not that I'm looking all that hard)

The one I have I just blend in a circle with my finger.

My go to blush - Nars Orgasm

I got a deluxe size Stila Convertible Color in Peony and its great!!! I use my fingers to warm it up and apply in a circle on cheeks. It gives a very youthful glow and is long lasting!!

Claudia · Gucci

I like powder blush and creme blush. I do want to try a cheek stain, but I want to try one that's not too expensive. Any recs?

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

Claudia, the Balm Stainiac runs between $10 and $16 depending on where you get it from.

HeatherLynn · Gucci

I use either the knock off Nars Orgasm from Kohls (love it and the price!!) or cheek stain. I have several of the tarte cheek stains. I really like them. They are pretty hard to mess up. I just swipe it on one cheek and then blend. I find it gives me the perfectly pinched pink cheek better than powders.

I'm with XtinaStyles. I use Nars Orgasm most days but use the Stila cream blush when I'm just wearing tinted moisturizer (blends better when there's no powder or anything involved). I've tried stains and either I can't get the hang of them or they suck. I tend to think the later but if it's user-error, I'd hardly be the one to admit it.

The only thing with a cream blush is that it's pretty easy to overdo it. Luckily a hard and fast blending will usually correct and problems.

I love Jemma kid check stain from target. I swear that stuff is amazing!

Aurora · Marc Jacobs

What is the kohl's knock off for Nars Orgasm?

Cricket · Gucci

I use Nars Orgasm or Benetint. I have used them for sooooo long. It's been eons since I've bought another stain. I think I need to make a trip to Sephora to find out of my Benetint is still the stain for me.

It is in the Flirt! line. The shade is Heartthrob. A makeup artist at Sephora is the one who told me about it. It really is a great match for it.

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

Has anyone tried this ?

rlutz · Chanel

I use nars orgasm....and sometimes stilla convertible color in peony also!
