I Found A Powder Blush That Blends Like A Cream

I'm a big blush fan — a makeup look isn't complete for me without it. For the past ten years I've stuck to cream formulas, which are easy to apply and buildable. I've waxed poetic about the Merit Flush Balm, which creates a pretty wash of color on the cheeks, and I recently opined about Glossier Cloud Paint still being an excellent option. Powder blush, on the other hand, has always intimidated me. It's more pigmented and less flexible — where you apply it is where it stays, especially when applied on top of a cream base. It also requires a certain degree of brush skills, which I didn't have until very recently.
