As a cream blush lover, here are all of the best options you can shop now

Whether you're a huge fan of a dewy makeup look or want to make the switch to more nourishing products ahead of the cooler months, cream blushes are a great place to start.

Differing from the sometimes chalky feel of a traditional powder format, a cream blush can give a more natural flush of colour, blending seamlessly into the skin thanks to its formulation.

The application process is a little different, too, often needing to be warmed up on the back of your hand, then applied to the skin with a brush, which means the colour can very easily be built up to your liking.

As someone who has quite oily skin, I used to avoid cream blush in fear that the dewy look would amplify the shine I naturally developed throughout the day, but boy, was I wrong!

After giving in to the hype and trying out the Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush, I was immediately hooked, and if anything, the buttery texture helped to melt my makeup together, creating a really beautiful and natural-looking base.

Now, as a verified cream blush lover, here are some of my favourite options on the market that you can shop now.
