BEST & WORST CREAM BLUSHES | Updated for 2021



WOWZA. It’s that time, fam! Today I’m updating my Best & Worst Cream Blushes for 2021! And I counted my blushes after filming this, and they totaled over 100!! My collection has more than doubled since the last time I filmed this. I’m swatching every FORMULA and as many shades as I can fit on my face (and neck?), and giving you my honest thoughts on all of them, best and worst, what use cases are for which blushes, and which ones I LOVE and don’t love so much. Thank you for always being on board for my blush obsession.

  1. Adding some ✨ TIME STAMPS ✨ for my fellow Kackie and blush obsessed peeps. (I watched the video then wanted to watch her thoughts on certain brands but oof that was hard so this is for those wanting to reference back ). I highly recommend watching the full video because Kackie's genius of comparing shades and textures as she goes is irreplaceable.

  2. Please continue this series with cream. bronzers. It's hard finding cream bronzer swatches.

    QUESTION: Your recs for long lasting blushes for wear over bare skin (ie moisturizer/spf but no complexion products)

  4. How are you going to use all these cream blushes before they go bad? What’s the expiration period of cream blushes anyway?

  5. what are your thoughts on the daniel sandler liquid vs. gel?

  6. Dude, how do you not have nudestix blushes? They are the best!!!!

  7. I would love to see a video on your favourite cream blushes that aren't cream blushes.

    The milani look so nice but I still have not seen them at Walmart or shoppers/jean coutu

  9. I don’t like cream blush but I find this oddly satisfying.

  10. Which are preferred for showing less texture. transparent or opaque creme blushes

  11. Is this your natural hair color? It is looking so pretty

  12. I have finally purchased Bread n Butter from Danessa Myricks and I wanted to say that it is NOT a dupe for Petal from Westman Atelier. Bread n Butter is considerably warmer than Petal. Danessa's formula is indeed lovely, but it is also much more pigmented.

  13. I love listening to you talk about blushes and nuances while I fall asleep. It’s so soothing to me.

    that palette is amazing!!!

  15. THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

  16. Love the face swatches! Also, love your freckles!

  17. The video I didn't know I needed 😂❤ so glad I found it though, but my wallet isn't 😂

  18. CAN YOU PLEASE REVIEW MANGO PEOPLE COSMETICS, THAT HAVE ALL CREAM PRODUCTS AND WANT TO KNOW YOUR OPINION

  19. Kackie! Where did you get your eyeglasses? 😍

  20. This was amazing!

    I would love to see you do a review of the Half Caked Candy Paint Lip and Cheek Tint!

  21. Hold up Kackie, are you in Canada??

  22. I'm sitting here like… Adam Sandler has blushes? 😂😂 my brain apparently has problems with the name Daniel today

  23. Oh wow mango looks like wasp by rituel de fille!! I am torn which to try now!! Definitely feeling a yellow blush this autumn, not sure why

  24. Hey Kackie..I loved the video and all the creamy goodness but would you mind doing a cream blush collection showing all the colours maybe even leave out the swatches for maybe 2022 because it is so much easier to see them together all in one place like the melt cream blushes and the other colours you didn't show in a certain brand formula?? Pretty please,I would be really grateful🌸❤

  25. I realize I am months late watching this video, but I feel compelled to BEG for a video on nuanced shades. Literally any product type, any price point, just the shades that make you go "oooooh!"

  26. I love how well you know your blushes! Thank you for going into detail – I don't just want color swatches, I want to understand the nuances of the color, the formula, and the finish since those qualities change the way the product looks and performs. And knowing the dupeability of a shade is very helpful as well.

  27. I would LOVE to see this in cream bronzers/contours 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    I am literally three months late to this video but I have to share that when you said the blush lights from melt are orangey, I thought for at least 30 seconds that you said Warren G.

  29. 3 months late but I am now ready for some face makeup. Now this IS a review… and a half❤️😍🙏🏽

  30. Your authenticity is so beautiful and shines through, I can’t help but smile when I see your videos! 🤗 And your content is rockin! 😎 Thanks Kackie!

  31. Truly a cream blush QUEEN 👑 can’t believe I missed this vid

  32. Komment for support because this is GOLD

  33. This is interesting. I own Tower, Melt, Flower Beauty, Em Cosmetics, Elf putty and Rituel de Fille creme blushes (I'm actually surprised I have that many, lol.) I disagree with you on most of these when it comes to texture/weight.

    I think Tower 21 is sooo waxy, sticky, and heavy. I still wear them because I like the colors but I have to be so careful applying them because they will lift off anything underneath.

    The lightest one I own is Melt, but it's too light. It's so watery but somehow oily at the same time and kinda slips around which I find annoying to deal with.

    Em is the one I agree with you the most on.

    Elf is dry and way too solid. I had no fun trying to use this and I wonder if it's a dud.

    Flower Beauty I found not pigmented at all, just oily, and I actually tossed the two that I bought.

    Rituel I like the best. It's a little waxy when the weathers cold but not STICKY like Tower (I hate sticky). If warm it is like wearing nothing. It blends out easily but then stays in place like a champion. Looks really natural, too.

  34. I would love to know if you have tried the Ciate Dewy Blush. If not, I think it would be a great one to review.

  35. What's your favorite fuchsia type shade? I am trying to find a talc free version of a shade like Laura mercier Sangria 👀

  36. That was a dream!! I ordered like 5 blushes by the end of this video 😂 but I’m so excited!! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video!!
