This blush is really pigmented and you can build it up, but it can also be worn as a very sheer and sublte blush.
To descibe the colour it is a beautiful pinky coral colour, it kinda looks like candy to me and very appealing.
I've tried many techniques on how to apply this blush, the best way for me is using a brush.
Let me quickly tell you about the different techniques:
Using your fingers:
Since this blush is quite pigmented and it has a thick texture when you don't warm it up, the application through your fingers can get very uneven.
One cheek can end up looking to pink and it's harder to blend it out with your fingers, also you are pulling on your skin, which is not so good.
Using a sponge:
That is a great way to apply this blush, but you will have to press hard onto the product so you can transfer it onto your skin. The problem is that the spongue, even though the blush is thick in consistency, will still soak up a lot of the product, which basically means you are wasting a lot of the blush.
A lot of times I ended up accidenly tearing up a part of the sponge because it was hard to blend still.
Using a flat top brush:
This is the best way as I said above, because you can warm it up by gently tapping the brush on the blush and since the brush is dense it will pick up enough of the blush even when you are only tapping lightly. It is very easy to blend with the brush and you have a better control over where you want to apply it to. It end up looking even and have a beautiful finish.
I think this blush would be best suited for dry to normal skin, and since I have not really oily but dewy cheeks, the cream blush can look very shiny, which often makes me uncomfortable.
But you can simply dush some transluscent powder over it to set it just as you would with a concealer.
if your are looking for a multi tasking product, you can use this on your lips as well, I would just recommend putting on a balm or vaseline under and over it so it won't dry out your lips.
