I've always been a powdered blush user, but I'm thinking about trying a liquid or cream. 

Question: Do you apply it and leave it alone or do you set it with something?

I treat it the same way I do powdered product.  I pat some setting spray on with a beauty blender when I'm done with my make up.

I thnk you could do either.  Usually, I do the same thing I do with powder blush. 

My only experience with a liquid was a Becca liquid blush that was VERY intense.  I would squeeze out the tiniest drop and rub between my fingers for several seconds before patting it onto my face. I sometimes would wear that just on my bare face and I didn't use a setting powder with it.

@JeanLouiseFinch  JMO; however, I would stick with powder blush because I believe it gives a softer, more natural look.

I disagree.  I much prefer a cream bronzer and blush.  If yours doesn't look natural, it's either the wrong color or not blended properly.

I have found that lipstick makes a wonderful cream blush.  I went through a phase were I tried several different brands/formulas of cream blush, but none of them performed any better than lipstick.  I also like that I can perfectly cordinate my lips and cheeks.

Most of the time however, I prefer powder blush.  Sometimes, I will pat the tiniest dab of lipstick on top of the powdered blush.  It looks natural and gives the blush an extra dimension.

@JeanLouiseFinch - When I use a cream blush/bronzer, I normally don't set it with powder.  What I do though is spray a beauty sponge with setting spray and then tap it onto my face.

@JeanLouiseFinch   I always use cream and never set it.

I love a good cream blush now that I am in my 40's.  In the heat of summer its always powder.  I set my blush with a setting spray - I use Urban Decay spray.  Otherwise after a couple of hours I find it fades out.

@Swedishmiss, I totally agree. I've used lipstick as my blush since I was a teenager in the 60's. For me, the color lasts all day and looks natural. Always glad to read that someone else used lipstick.
