I love that they’re usually a great value, and they can inspire new color combinations! Sometimes the quality is lesser in a palette than the equivalent full-sized products though 🙁

I love how creamy they are, and how they can be used as a base/cream eyeshadow as well as an eyeliner. I wish they had smaller sizes, though!

I love the sheen that they give to the skin, and they’re often very blendable, but they can be shorter-wearing.

I’ve had very, very limited experience with these, but some of them can feel very… heavy? or mask-like on the skin, even if they aren’t technically heavy (as they have improved over time).

For me, it’s usually too sheer for my taste. Some apply better than others, but it’s my least favorite type of blush on the whole. I think Giorgio Armani’s Maestro Blush has been the best I’ve tried so far.

THE PUMPS! So many of the liquid highlighters on the market have pumps that dispense far more product than you really need, so I wish the packaging would be improved. I love being able to mix with moisturizer, foundation, or use on top of bare skin.

The only thing I have to complain about (and it’s not really a complaint) is that they are harder to remove, so you have to go straight to your best makeup remover. Otherwise, all raves!

I love that they tend to be more opaque and full coverage, and they blend well without sheering out, but they can be heavier and sink into fine lines or appear caky.
— Christine
I’ve come around to them, because in more extreme environments/weather I can really notice a difference when using some, but the key is to find one that actually works and doesn’t have a heavy feel.

I love cream blush for often being very blendable, longer-wearing, and intensely pigmented, plus they usually have a soft, natural finish. Some formulas are harder to blend, especially when they are thinner, and look splotchy applied.
