Cream-Blushing!

[BrownEyedBlonde97]

Thanks !

[AISHAkhan1992]

ur beautiful,,, never thought about using foundation brush for creme blush thanxxx koren

[Sasuke3303]

Thanks a lot! I was already wondering about how you apply cream blushes in the right way. :)

[naudia8584]

Thank you so much for explaining the theory behind it and not just showing us how to apply it!! Great video

[ewmimsi]

You don't want to smile while you are applying your blush. Smiling moves up the cheek and once you stop smiling, it will drop and your blush is not in the right place :(

[khoshgeli]

hi i love your vids, thanks for this one, its very helpful. ive just got a cream blush (my first) but i like to contour and usually do this with harmony powder blush from mac. how would i contour now im using a pink cream blush? i wear studio sculpt liquid foundation in nw20. also, i dont have a translucent powder, i have mineralize skinfinish natural, could i use that to set the cream blush or a powder blush!? PLEASE PLEASE ANSWER, id really appreciate it. you are the best. xx

[kmm715]

Thank you for this video. I can't wait to do a GOOD job on my cream blush tomorrow :-)

[BEYOUtifulkaye]

do u need to set a cream blush with a blush or may i use a translucent powder to keep the true color of the cream blush and set?

[missfashioneye]

the nyx cream blushes are really nice, great for winter cheek looks

[NewCrys]

Aahahaahahah!@!!!!

Omgoosh!

[xPiLLOWFIGHTx]

I LOVE AND ADORE YOU!

[JadeLiCat]

What method would you suggest for putting on a cream blush with a sponge? That's been my main tool for applying my cream blush for awhile now.

[heatherintheheather]

i use cream over powder every day and i dont get streaking.

[summergrl54]

Soooo helpful

[Tanamontana100]

If you would watch one of my videos to see my skin color and tell me which nyxblush you recommend?or do you think posey from mac would look good?

[AsianDramaFan8]

thank you so much for this vid.

i'm a beginner on makeup and this vid helped alot.

question though, is an illuminator the same as a powder foundation? thanks!

[GirlyLithium]

does it work for a cream bronzers too..

[elatederyka3]

Keep doing great videos!!!!

Awsome tips!

[juicygirlx333]

when i just wear cream concealor and have mainly bare skin, should i use CB? also, when i wear CB, my concealer smudges off. wat should i do?

ty so much for this! you and michellephan have taught me the most about makeup.

[secretagtpeanut]

I love your videos. You do such great videos on tips on putting on make up and everything else! I also like how they aren't 20+ minutes long! Keep up the great work!

[MissTiffyLove]

@xxPeaceLoveyxx Rofl oh my.

Gays are amazing.

[softballqt1760]

what is the fix plus?? and what is a "dupe" for it. because i use clinique super-balanced powder foundation, like the one that you twist to reveal loose powder (dont know if you are familiar with it) and i just got the blushcreme in ladyblush. i still want to use both together but dont really want to go buy another moistening thing, can i use water or more like a moisturizer?? thanks so much, just came across your channel and you are VERY helpful!! :)

[KellsterMakeup]

[CynicalCeci]

[XxmuahlovexX]

can you depot mac cream blushes? i know you cant with the heat method but i would think that you would be able to with the no heat method.

[cheldots]

yea u can

[xxxsweetcandyz]

is enKore famous?

[JazminSafadi]

Hey, thank you so much for this! I've been wanting to try creme blushes but I haven't because I didn't know how to apply them. And now I know to use them on cream (liquid?) foundation.

[ioana6478]

Do you think I could get away with using the 188 to apply the cream blush? Or even the 187?

[FrostLagoon]

haha this was made on my b-day!

[JessRocket]

Oooooohhh! So that's how you use it. Thanks!

[mizzblake23]

uuu i want one!

[margaretdavis009]

get one! life is too short

[MsJuneDay]

Thanks again, Enkore! I bought a cream blush "cuz it's pretty" then realized I should probably know how to apply it right. YouTube to the rescue again!

[Merziak]

thanks for the info ^^

[japnaiblissta]

How's that for luck? It froze AGAIN, this time at 4:29. (~.~) I STILL hate free wi-fi.

[bookwrmplayplayer]

Hey, at least it's free :))

[hottchica26]

Yay! Yet another use for my MAC Fix+ :)

[reezmariano]

hi koren, question, pretty much we both have the same color, what MAC blush cremes can u suggest that also can be used as an eyeshadow base if can just be, thanks for your time.

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey reez - check out brit wit and uncommon

[MadMadamJess]

This is a terrific video...:)

luv,

jessie

[Vilcis]

Thank you for this tutorial, I had no idea about applying cream blush. Now I can try it.

Thank you Koren.

[SheLuvsHerIpod]

I'm so glad I saw this (was looking for your FIX+ video as per ScandalousBeauty) because I have always considered StudioTech a cream to powder foundation and didn't think a cream blush would work.

[chuangie]

Enkore, honestly, what do you think about Bobbi brown products? Thanks!

[nguyenceline]

my blush always fades :( i use the mac powder should i switch to creme then, does creme blush last longer?

[EnKoreMakeup]

you can use a little face primer on your cheeks so the powder sticks better. Otherwise, cremeblushes tend to stick better and therefore last longer. It takes a little getting used to using, but once you have it down its easy breezy.

[nguyenceline]

From the MAC brand, which one last longer: the blushcreme or cream colour base? thanks!

[EnKoreMakeup]

the blushcreme tends to last longer as its got a bit more pigment than CCB. Altho, if you use CCB as a base primer, it will even make it last even longer.

[butterfly2199]

oily skin people shouldnt wear cream blush right? because thats my issue. =(

[EnKoreMakeup]

cream foundation can be beneficial to oily skin, because if your skin looks a little oily, and you have a matte blush, it will look odd. Like you have patchy skin. So, i think cream blushes is ideal for oily skin

[iLoveMac15]

thanks for this video i love your videos they are so helpful!

i have a question can instead of cream to cream can i use my studio fix fluid with a cream blush or would that not work?

Emily :D

[EnKoreMakeup]

yes you can use fluid, then a cream blush. Start light to create a thin first layer of cream blush, and then build from that, so that the foundation under doesnt get messed up

[aishas]

is it okay to use cream blush over a cream to powder foundation?

[EnKoreMakeup]

yes, thats fine

[goldennella]

how to apply flushed blush? this is so complicated!

[vietgirl360]

this is GREAT...i really needed this video!! VERY HELPFUL! thank you =)

[KTMAMA86]

Thanks Koren, I was staying away from cream blushes because I was unsure about the application techniques, you helped me out so much!

[ohitslovex20]

would it be okay to use the 187 brush with cream blush?

[EnKoreMakeup]

yes you can - it will give you a nice subtle application. then just keep building as needed.

[charliiebabiie]

Thanks, really helped alot.

[JosefScarletteMUA]

I saw 'Premeditated' in the picture! Haha, that's my favorite blush color. =D

[lilBELL42O]

Koren, what about using a sponge to apply ?

[EnKoreMakeup]

make sure you use a damp sponge so that it doesnt absorb the cream blush too much. Otherwise you will have more blush on the sponge than your skin. Also, throw away the sponge every use - Bacteria will build up immediately on those.

[ouafa2007]

Koren, you're great - love your videos. :)

I think a cream blush looks more natural than a powder blush and it's easy to use with the fingers. I use two shades: a pinky shade for the cheeks and a more brown shade for contouring.

Bye from Germany, Ouafa

[Jaquebaul]

Hi, what shade of studio fix/ tech do you use?

[EnKoreMakeup]

Im an NC30

[Luvlycondor]

U can use the 187 brush to apply blush,my mom does and it comes out good.

[ibydesign]

can you use a 187 skunk brush or a regular blush brush to apply creme blush by stippling/swirling it in?

[Lovemakeup94]

could i just use a cream blush on naked skin(w/out any foundation)

and then just set it with a normal powder?

[tessietoo22]

whats the right color blush for someone who is pale skinned with undertones of pink not yellow

everything i have tried has either made me look dirty or waaayy to pink

help!

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey tessie - have you tried anything in the Coral or Plum tones? try those, it might suit your tone better.

[elevensmiles11]

i love cream blush, but i really hate mac's

great tips!

[Jeniaeve]

Hello!

just found your videos :) i am a makeup artist in argentina, and here i ve studied makeup artistry for 5 month(basiks.. bridal, day, night,smoky..etc...

but we never learn how to use a cream blush or shadows:( our teacher always saed "just awoide creamy makeup, couse they are messy" .So i always wondering how is the creamy blush.. and thank to you i have found an answer :) what do you think about creamy eye shadows?

[EnKoreMakeup]

thanks Jeniaeve - creme eyeshadows you have to be careful, because most creases specially if you or model have oily lids. Its also not great in hot and humid weather. That is why most prefer powder eyeshadows.

[temptingbeauty]

I'm having a really hard time trying to find a blush that works...even bronzer...being a dark skin woman I've used bronzer and blush and its like I dont even have it on. I want to be able to wear pinks and peaches since it is warm out...could I not be applying enough to my face?

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey temptingbeauty - this is what I do to my dark skinned clients. I apply a light highlighter to their cheeks first. I even used Vanilla pigment on dark olive or african american skin. Then I apply the pink or peach blush on top of that and its does make the color pop on dark skin. It slike using a white primer prior to color. Try that.

[temptingbeauty]

ohhhh...I get it..yes I do the same on my eyelids by applying a primer first...thanks a bunch!..it always helps me to come back and watch more videos when subscribers questions are answered...thanks again.

[UniqueWunx3]

is it ok to use a mac cremeblush and a mac powder with the same MAC stippling 187??

[EnKoreMakeup]

yes, its ok, just make sure to swirl your brush in a tissue to get most of the cremeblush residue out. Then use the powder.

[sixxymouse]

I Koren! I have a problem with blush I was wondering if you can help me. I use a mineralized powder foundation and use powder blush as well, but after a few hours it disappears on my skin. Im not that oily on the cheeks either. Do you suggest a technique I should use? Thank you so much!

[EnKoreMakeup]

you can either: 1. Spritz some fix plus on your brush the use your foundation or blush, so that it sticks to the skin longer. 2. Use a face primer like Prep & Prime Skin or Photo Finish. This will hold the foundation and blush on the skin. Try one of those.

[omeleko]

Hey Koren, do u think the 188 would be a good brush to use for this too?

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey omeleko - yes 188 will give you a nice softwash using a cream blush, which is still a nice look and finish to it. Of course, you can build it the more you apply.

[magno1937]

5* =)

[heyjana]

Im planning on picking up some liquid Face and body today Btw..

[heyjana]

Hey EnKore, My Foundation is (MAC) NC55. What MAC Blushcreme would you recommend for me? Im sorry if this has been asked a million times lol : )

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey Jana - theres not a lot of colors to choose from, so definitely just try them on and see which one suits you. This season peaches and apricot creame blushes are in with dark tones.

[bimb6666]

Can you also use them in summer time? I have oily skin would this be good for me?

[EnKoreMakeup]

yes, summer is good to as it will add to that dewey glow look everyone likes to sport. Just use a little face ptimer i fyou have oily skin.

[disneydiva21]

my foundation is nw 45 what is a good blush for me ? btw i have dry skin:)

[EnKoreMakeup]

well depends on what you're wearing too. I do hoever prefer plum-y blushes on tan tones like nc/nw 40-50. Check out Flirt & Tease, Sweet as Cocoa too - if you have dry skin, moisturize well 15 mins prior to makeup application.

[iPHANN]

does mac still have translucent powder? i tried looking for it on the website but i couldnt find it.

[EnKoreMakeup]

in their Pro line, theres Invisible Powder. MAC regular line is called setting or blit powder, i believe, but those have hints of tint to them.

[iPHANN]

is there a way i can get a hold of that product? and how much is it?

[EnKoreMakeup]

they are available at any freestanding MAC Pro stores (one sthat sells pro items), and they are $20 I believe.

[yunadina]

Hi koren~~**

I Have a yellow skintone (NC20)

Whats the best blush color for me?? I dont want to looks moree yellow..^^

Thanks

Ps: Can I use a baby pink and a peach color??

[EnKoreMakeup]

hi Yuna - youre on the right track, you can definitely use baby pink, peach, coral undertone creame blushes, and it will complement your yellow tone without making it more yellow.

[MakeupBySarah]

do you know if depotted mac blushes can be bought with or without a discount like the eyeshadows? thanks for all your videos :)

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey Sraha - yes, the blushes are also available in refil pans at any freestanding MAC stores.

[MakeupBySarah]

thanks:) sry, but ae they still 17.50 or cheaper?

[EnKoreMakeup]

Hey Sarah - sorry I mispelled your name LOL. Any hoo - the pan blushes are cheaper - they are $12.50, i believe.

[MACchristyy]

thanks encore! once again your a lifesaver! i used your fix + idea since i only use studio fix powder and it works great with my cream blushes! =)

[Peridot82]

Enkore Enkore!

I need your HELP! I have a medium dark complextion (compare to Janet Jackson). And Im in the market of purchasing a blush that will give me that dewy/glowy look. What would be best for my skintone. Also, I have combination skin. Mostly oily, however during the cold months its SUPER DRY. Im looking for something I can (prob) wear year round. way up starting with my needs.

Thanx

Peridot82

P.S. Im open to color suggestions also : )

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey Peridot - check out Sweet as Cocoa and Flit & Tease shimmer blush from MAC. Also regarding foundation, its normal to use different texture as your skin changes through the season. For winter months when skin is dry, Cream foundation is best, in the summer, Liquid and Powders are good.

[naghy]

Chosing a blush color is so hard for me cause my skin is pretty dark (face&body N5). I wanne get that glowy look, but dont want it to look like i'm wearing tons of blush. What shades would u suggest for creamblush? Thanks!

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey naghy - if you have dark skin, you can definitely try a light blush, like Blossoming or Brit Wit, start light then build, so that way it wont look like you're wearing tons.

[naghy]

thanks for answering my Q's, your the best! x

[sudheshnam]

light blush? i'm dark too, but wont light ones seem ashy?

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey sud - you dont want light colors that are ashy looking - not all light colors will look ashy on the skin, so just eye-ball it out and see which one is not ashy - much like light eyeshadows - some can look chalky on dark skin, some dont.

[sudheshnam]

thanks! i'll try that when i get to the mac stores next time!

[litaford23]

my lovely Koren i love love love all of your videos and i m so glad i ve got more of your material to watch as i havent seen all of them yet:)

i recently bought a cream colour base and its multi usage.Its ''shell'' from MAC and i usualy use it as a natural highlight before any blush on the top of the cheekbones.Can i use it as a base for eye-make up?Shell colour is okay for applying on eyes and lips.i need your opinion though:P

Kisses my dear

Elena

[EnKoreMakeup]

hi Elena - yes cream color base makes great eyeshadow bases as well. If you have oily lids it might crease on ya, but if you dont, then its great. I love NUDE cream color base as an eyeshadow primer. Youll see in some of my Eye Look videos :).

[litaford23]

THANK U so much Koren u are so sweet:P

i ll check your Eye Looks videos RIGHT NOW:)

UN BACI!!

ELENA

[laedi2987]

hi! first i'd like to say that i'm so into you're videos. i've been watching your videos for a couple times now 'cause i need to learn how to apply make up 'cause i'll be doing my make-up on my graduation day. i already bought some make up and i was wondering which should i use, my cream blush or powder bronzer? and by the way i have i liquid foundation. need help!! thanks!!

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey laedi - congrats on your grad! you can use the bronzer to add warmth to your skin - just apply that on the outer perimeter of the face - forehead, jawline - then creamblush on cheeks - key is apply light and build until you get the right intensity you like. Its best to apply foundation, then your blush. Set both with regular powder, then bronze using bronzer. Hope that helps.

[laedi2987]

thank you so much for your help! i do hope i can get this right. ahaha!! thanks a million again!!

[EnKoreMakeup]

hi magnolia -yes you can, stipple the cream blush on first then smooth and blend.

[taquichantay]

Hahahaha... :D

Your facial expression is very funny at 05: 56

:D :D :D

By the way...u have an amazing talent!!

I love your videos so much and now I'm gonna be a new fan for u!! =)

[EnKoreMakeup]

teehee! thanks taquichantay! =)

[ReenyLu]

I've never thought to use my fix+ spray like that. I use cream blushes quite often and use my 187 for that and powder blushes and have NO problems applying it. =)

[BohemianSheila]

Have you ever used the Skunk Brush to apply your cream blushes? That's what I use and it is amazing!! I use it on powder and cream and have not had a problem either way.

[btaskey]

THANK YOU! I was about to give away all my cream blushes until I saw this! I wear powder foundation and have had a horrible time. Thank you so much!

[makeupfreak23]

What color are Blush your using in this video? is so pretty.

[EnKoreMakeup]

its Blossoming Creamblush

[rosewitch2000]

hi how can i apply gel blush or mousse texture blush? i bought those but have trouble applying evenly..thanks =]

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey rose - you can apply those much like in this video. For mousse, its really best to stipple/dab it on as opposed to brushing it on. Using a brush or sponge is best.

[rosewitch2000]

thanks =] i will try it tomorrow..your videos are really helpful =]

[Levintagee]

Damn, i wish i had all that blush compacts!Oh Budgets.

[abercrombieandvick]

hey koren

about ur rule

so powders or powder blush

shouldnt be used on liquid foundation ?

what if i use blushcreme on liquid foundation ?

[EnKoreMakeup]

no, you can use powders on liquid foundation. You just need to set the foundation with clear powder first so the powder blush doesnt patch or streak. If you wear bluscream on liquid foundation, DONT powder the foundation. Apply the blush first, then powder to set everything.

[makeuplover1988]

hey enkore i just have a question for you, will setting the cream blush with powder take away the dewyness of it?

[makeuplover1988]

sorry ive just realised uve already answered my question earlier on in the comments of this video!

[ContrastY]

i use cream blush almost exclusively, its easier to blend, looks more natural.

im using one by stila.

[MeaningOfAloha]

Wow! You are amazing; thanks for the advice. I was wondering, can you use an H2o spray such as the Evian, to make the powder foundation "Creamy"?

[EnKoreMakeup]

sure - but spray on the brush! not on the powder.

[Signai1976]

Thank you so much. I really needed that advise for my mac blush creme because my skin is so dry and I usually wear mineral foundation powder. So thank you.

[xLightningxBoltx]

I have a MAC cremeblush and a MAC powder blush, and I've found it impossible to apply my cremeblush, which is very disappointing! I have a cheap horrible blush brush that over applies. Which MAC blush brush should I get? Should I use my foundation brush to apply my blush?

Also, why do you have to set your blush with powder? What does the powder do? Should someone who doesn't wear foundation still use powder?

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey lightning - you can definitely use your foundation brush. Setting CREAM blush with powder helps it stary on your skin, same with other cream-based products. Otherwise, it will slide off and or fade. Pwder blushes doesnt need to to be powdered. You can wear just powder if you want to rid of any shine in your skin - what we call blotting.

[xLightningxBoltx]

Thanks!

[jessevanity]

I just bought cream blush in blossoming today and i had no idea how to apply it, so thanks for doing this video!

[UniversityChannel]

I'm a girl and why is it that gay guys know how to do make up better than girls? Lol.

[ShesThe1yup]

If i were to say one side looked better than the other i would say the powder side looked lighter and smoother and nicer than the other side Great work EnKore a demo well worth watching Thanks :)

[TalentedChick]

You are so amazing!

[angiebabyyyx3]

hey koren, what are those crosses you keep on your makeup?

i noticed that in a few vids.

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey angie - theyre just little stickers I put in my stuff so that when I work with other MUA's on a gig, I know which ones are mine.

[angiebabyyyx3]

ahhhhh ! very clever, as usual !

thanks !

[klanda]

I've always been afraid of using cream blushes because they came out streaky and looking very 'makeupy', I was doing exactly what you said not to do! Thank you!

[freakboyy2000Aalex]

i aint gay.

[rileyXXS]

sometimes i find it hard to spread with fingers. could i spray fix+ on to the pan? lol

[EnKoreMakeup]

hey Riley - use a brush or sponge. If need to you can spray Fix+ on the sponge, not the creamblush.

[UROCKMYSOX249]

actually, riley theres a simple solution. what you do is take the cream blush onto ur fingers and rub them together to warm the blush. then apply it. :)

[Rubyz22]

Thank you Koren! I got a cream blush as a gift...and I've been wondering how to apply it right.
