For a healthy, just-been-for-a-run glow this summer, cream blushes are my go-to product, and I'm not alone! Across the UK (and the world), women of all ages are realizing cream blush provides a healthy, flushed glow that looks more natural than powder - and it's super easy to apply! Here are my top 7 cream blushes for use all-year-round; great for girls on the go!
1 Studio Cream Blush by E.L.F
I was lucky enough to receive this full-size product in a goodie-bag from E.L.F recently and I love it! Its a lightweight cream which is easy to apply and blend with your fingers. It transforms to a powder finish and can be layered for intensity - a little goes a long way as this is highly pigmented! One of my favorite cream blushes, this is available in 6 shades and I love Heart Breaker, a vibrant rosy pink.

2 Rimmel London Stay Blushed
Fans of Lisa Eldrige will no doubt have seen her recent Alexa Chung makeover video, where she used Rimmel's Stay Blushed. Pop of Pink and Peach Flush are universally flattering shades, and although this is more of a liquid tint than a cream, it's beautifully sheer and adds a gorgeous glow used alone or over foundation or BB cream.
3 Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush
This silky cream blush provides a dewy finish and is perfect for use on the beach, or in winter to add a pop of color to a pale, dull complexion. The photochromatic pigments in this Rimmel blush reflect light for a lit-from-within glow that looks gorgeous; I love it!

For a polished look, I love Clinique Blushwear! This handbag essential not only looks super-stylish, but the cream to powder finish ensures a finish that won't budge even on hot days. I love the subtle range of colors.
6 Clarins Cream Blush
You can always rely on Clarins to create stunning compacts and makeup that cares for your skin, and their cream blush is no exception. With floral waxes to keep skin hydrated and light optimizing complex + which adds lustre, this cream blush gives a natural, glowing finish. As an added bonus, it can be used on lips for a soft, matte look that's oh-so-pretty!
7 Bourjois Cream Blush
For those of us who can't afford Chanel Le Blush Creme (sigh!), Bourjois Cream Blush has a similar cream-to-powder formula. The cute little pots are easy to slip in your handbag and create a gorgeous rosy glow! This is one of my favorite cream blushes.
Hopefully one or more of these cream blushes will help you achieve a gorgeous flushed glow this summer - cream blush can look as subtle in the winter as it does during the summer months! Do you have a favorite cream blush?
