The simple makeup swap that will change your skin

It’s time to join ‘Team Cream'.

When it comes to makeup, not all products are created equal: some are better than others at giving our skin the love it deserves.

We’re familiar with liquid and powder products – but there’s a new rising star on the scene: cream makeup. Once the strict domain of professionals, cream-based formulas have made their way into our regular routines… and with good reason.

Here’s why it might be time for you to join ‘Team Cream’.

It’s perfect for dry skin

No matter what type of skin you have, cream makeup is a friend to them all, but it is especially suited for dry skin or a face that’s started to show more of the natural signs of ageing.

Powder and liquid formulas can often dry out quickly and settle into fine lines and wrinkles, which can accentuate the signs of ageing and give off a ‘cakey’ look throughout the day.

As it doesn’t ‘set’ as firmly as other types of makeup, cream formulas act as more of a “second skin”, working with your face and its natural movement to stay comfortable and fresh all day long.

It makes you looks younger

Unlike powder or liquid formulas, cream makeup doesn’t set as firmly, meaning your skin stays comfortable and fresh all day long.

Cream makeup truly ‘blends’ into the skin, with a light, dewy finish. That means your skin gives off a natural glow, making you look healthier, and yes, younger, too.

Unlike products that promise a “matte” finish, cream makeup doesn’t change the texture of your skin and it doesn’t get absorbed – it just adds a soft, youthful and healthy look to any face.

They’re multipurpose products

Cream products are some of the most versatile on the market – with many products offering multipurpose use.

Like DB Cosmetics Flawless All In One Foundation – which has over 300 four-and-a-half star reviews. Not only does it give super moisturising coverage (the formula contains Vitamins A and E and Aloe Vera), but can also be used as a concealer or contouring stick.

DB Cosmetics new Quick Fix Cream Blush can be used on cheeks, lips and eyes.

Just days after launching, DB Cosmetics new Quick Fix Cream Blush already has multiple five star reviews. It comes in several shades (as well as in a highlighter and bronzer formula), so it’s not just for your cheeks, and can be applied to lips for a natural tint or used as an eyeshadow.

It’s easy to apply

A product that doesn’t absorb or set may sound like it’s trickier to use, but cream formulas are some of the easiest and most convenient to add to your beauty bag.

Simply swipe the cream where you want it and use your fingers or blending brush to smooth out the edges in a patting motion.

Plus, cream makeup is perfect for buildable coverage – use less for a more natural look or add more for something a little more glam. It’s all in your hands.
