If it has a dewier finish, I don’t mind if it fades a little faster, but I don’t like sliding around. It still needs to last decently for me–six to eight hours–and have an even fade.

I have like 2 cream blushes and 1 liquid so they are formulas I don’t mess with too often but for me, it’s not so much about longevity as does it fade away nicely. If it fades and leaves me a textured greasy mess then I mind much more and it gets tossed quickly!
One of the main reasons I’ve moved on to cream/liquid cheek products is because it allows me to reapply sunscreen to my face. Since I do so about every 2 hours, and pretty much wipe everything down, longevity isn’t really a factor… On the occasion I need my base to last, I have plenty of reliable options, and would go with one of those…
Thanks for mentioning this! I’ve always wondered how to “redo” things if I have to reapply spf every two hours.
Most of my life, my skin has ‘eaten’ cream blush, so trying the Fenty quadruple play was not a real good idea. That blush is doable if I let it set(disappear), then put translucent/setting powder over it, then reapply. Heavier app at the beginning gets greasy, but still loses most of the color. I love the lip and the HL stick in that foursome, so all is not lost.
Very! I want to get at least 8 hours out of it before it begins to breakdown and start fading. Which is why I prefer ones that turn to powder or a stain.
In a cream/liquid blush, I don’t mind if it fades quicker, as long as it lasts at least 4 to 6 hours. It also has to fade evenly. Patchiness drives me crazy.
As I don’t use a cream blush, it’s hard for me to answer this question – but I think their lifespan is much shorter than for a powder blush. I guess if you only used one blush and that is a cream one, you would probably get through it, but otherwise – it could end up being a waste of money if the use by date comes around quickly.
I don’t like powder blushes, so finding good cream/liquid ones is fundamental for me. My favorites are Illamasqua (cream) and Daniel Sandler (liquid). They last all day on me and that’s what I want from a blush 🙂
It’s important. I don’t expect cream blush to last as long as powder, but I would like it to get through at least an 8 hour day. Most don’t on my oily skin, hence why I only wear a few brands’ cream blushes.
