Another makeup trend has stepped into the spotlight and, as always, we are into it. The latest rage in the beauty world? Cream makeup. We’re talking concealer, blush, multi-purpose sticks, eyeshadow, bronzer — you name it.
What exactly is the difference between cream and powdered makeup, you may be wondering? I’m glad you asked! According to makeup artist Rae Morris, it’s all about the end result you want to achieve.
“Naturally, creams have a creamier, shinier finish than powder. They give you a more youthful glow,” says Morris. “Powders are usually more matte and velvety.”
Cream makeups are easier to apply and more blendable by nature, and because I’m always looking for a simple, uncomplicated routine, they’re a win/win in my book. Another perk? The dewy and glowing effect of cream makeup, which is what I always want!
