The Best Cream Blush for Glowy, Dewy, Never-Streaky Skin

Image
There’s blush, and then there’s that dewy, just-went-for-a-walk flush that melts into your skin like it was always there. That’s the power of a cream blush — when it’s done right. Whether you’re a full-glam girl or a no-makeup-makeup minimalist, the best cream blush brings your whole look to life. It’s your shortcut to glow, your pop of color, and your “I woke up like this” finishing touch — all in one little pot. But not all blush is built the same. If you’ve ever dealt with streaks, patchiness, or clown cheeks (we’ve all been there), you know the struggle. The solution? A cream formula that blends like a dream — and works with your skin, not against it. Why Cream Blush? Cream blush is the ultimate glow-getter. Unlike powders that sit on top of the skin, cream formulas melt in, creating a finish that looks more natural, more hydrated, and more skin-like. Bonus: You can layer it easily, blend it with fingers or tools, and even wear it on your lips for a monochromatic moment (yes, ...

How to Use Makeup Setting Spray the Right Way

Image
You’ve blended, buffed, and baked, and your look is flawless. But if it fades, melts, or moves by lunch, what’s the point? That’s where makeup setting spray comes in. It’s the final step that makes everything stay in place. But here’s the thing: not all sprays are created equal, and not all techniques work. So if you’re misting and still not getting long-lasting results, you might just be using it wrong. Let’s break down how to use setting spray for makeup — the right way. Step 1: Pick the Right Setting Spray Before anything else, it’s about formulas. The Beautyblender setting spray  — aka Boost™ 4-in-1 Firming Peptide Setting Spray- does more than just lock in makeup. It firms, hydrates, and smooths with skincare-grade ingredients like peptides and ceramides. Think of it as setting spray meets skincare, in one multitasking mist. Look for a makeup setting spray that matches your skin goals: Want long wear? Go for firming or mattifying formulas. Want a dewy glow? Choose a hydrating,...

How to Use a Makeup Sponge for a Seamless Finish

Image
Whether you’re going full glam or barely-there natural, one thing remains true: a seamless finish starts with the right tool. And when it comes to pro-level blending, even for beginners, nothing beats a makeup sponge. Especially the sponge that started it all: the Beautyblender Original . If you’re still swiping, streaking, or applying makeup dry (gasp!), it’s time for a quick refresh. Here’s exactly how to use a Beautyblender makeup sponge to get that signature skin-like, airbrushed finish every single time. Step 1: Wet It (Yes, Really) The Beautyblender makeup sponge is designed to be damp. Why? When wet, the makeup sponge expands and softens, creating a bouncy texture that blends makeup effortlessly without absorbing too much product. Pro tip: Run your sponge under water until it’s fully saturated. Then, squeeze out the excess and wrap it in a clean towel to remove any drips. The result? The perfect sponge plush, damp, and ready to bounce. Step 2: Bounce, Don’t Swipe Now ...

What Is a Makeup Primer and Do You Need It?

Before the foundation. Before concealer. Before the bounce. Makeup primer is the unsung hero of a flawless finish, and if you’ve ever wondered whether you need it, we’re here to give it to you straight. So, What Is Makeup Primer? Think of primer as your skin’s smoothest hype girl. It’s the first step in your routine that preps, smooths, and grips your makeup so it lasts longer and looks better. Whether your goal is all-day wear, pore-blurring, hydration, oil control, or all of the above, Primer creates the ideal canvas for whatever comes next. In short? It’s the “pre-touch” that means less retouching later. Do You Need a Makeup Primer? If you’ve ever looked in the mirror at 3 p.m. and thought, “Where did my makeup go?”- then yes, you need a primer. But not just any primer. The best primer isn’t one-size-fits-all. It works with your skin, not against it. It enhances your makeup’s performance and your skin’s texture. It does more than blur, it boosts. Meet the Best Makeup Prime...
