How to Apply Cream Blush with The Buffer-Glow Brush

Quick answer

Use The Buffer-Glow Brush to precisely place cream blush where light naturally hits, building from a sheer veil to a sculpting flush.

Step-by-step guide

1. Prep your canvas: Start with clean, moisturized skin. Apply your base makeup (foundation or tinted moisturizer) as usual. This ensures the cream blush blends smoothly and lasts longer. Skipping moisturizer can cause the blush to drag or look patchy.
2. Load the brush lightly: Dip the tip of The Buffer-Glow Brush into your cream blush. For a sheer flush, use a tiny amount—you can always add more. Tap off any excess on the back of your hand. Too much product at once can lead to a heavy, uneven application.
3. Tap onto the high points of the cheeks: Using a gentle tapping motion, apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend upward toward the temples. The dense bristles help deposit color precisely where you want it. Avoid sweeping motions, which can push the product into fine lines or spread it too far.
4. Build intensity gradually: If you want a more sculpting effect, let the first layer set for a few seconds, then add another light layer. The brush’s design allows you to concentrate color for a more dramatic look. Building slowly prevents a clown-like appearance and gives you full control.
5. Blend edges with a clean side of the brush: Use the dry, clean side of the brush to softly buff the edges of the blush, creating a seamless transition into your skin. This step ensures a natural, dewy finish. Harsh lines are a common mistake; blending with a clean brush softens them without disturbing the color.
