I use the Merit cheek balm.  It's fairly subtle, at least in the shades I choose.

Honestly I've been using Maybelline Bouncy and I've been really happy with it but of course it's been discontinued. I do have a back one that I grabbed before they sold out. So when that's done I'll probably try their new on which is called Cloudtopia. I put it on with an Elf small stipple brush which, you guessed it, is also discontinued. My life story.

here's another creme blush I like. I have the brush thats recommended for it. Love the brush, I use it for all creme blushes. It picks up just the right amount of product.

I'm interested in finding a new cream blush. What do you like?

The only brand/item I won't consider is the RMS Lip2Cheek due to poor quality.

Saw this Tarte combo blush powder/cream presented last night. It looks interesting and decent pricing with the brush. It's definitely pigmented as one of the models initially overapplied and had to diffuse it. The Red Velvet looks similar to the RMS Beloved intense color.

The process is to 1st apply the cream then the powder on top. I think this is a new product? Has anyone tried it?

I don't recall a tarte show last night but I did watch the Bare Minerals show and Chantal put on too much of this blush and then applied the Blonzer over it to neutralize it.  bareMinerals Gen Nude Highlighting Blush and Blonzer Duo - QVC.com

@Calibeach  If you like this concept you might want to look at Patrick Ta blush. He has been doing this concept for years. His products are very good.

@Calibeach  I agree RMS lip to cheek are poor quality.  But I like the powder blush.  My current all time favorite cream is colourpop Instant Crush Cream Blush - I gravitate toward the pinks.  They go on very smooth (i use a brush)  with no drag or pilling and you do not need much.  I'm down to pan on one of them.  Now I don't wear foundation, so its just moisturizer and blush and it's very natural and on me, lasts all day.

@bmorechick  Thank you. I'm reviewing my powder blushes,some got pushed to the back of my organizer; I need to decide to keep or toss. Will be taking a trip to Sephora and Ulta soon to check out the cream blushes that are being recommended.

I have this, in the color pictured. The top one is cream, middle one is cream with soft highlighting sheen, bottom one is powder. A plastic shield covers the cream blushes to protect from dry blush particles getting on them. Very nice product and the price is right
