Interesting, I would never have thought of tyring it with a brush... is it hard to clean off the brush if you want to use a powder blush with the same brush? I only have one foptic.

Hi, I am sorry that I can't help you with this coz I have 3 fiber optic.Why don't you invest another optic brush.I find this brush is really useful.I think the brush will be easy to wash off as the cream is not thick & don't really think a lot. I hope it's help.Anyone out there got more tips? :)

I'm not sure on this because I only really use cream blushes now. I know the next day if I haven't washed my brush it's dry again and has gone back to feeling light and fluffy and could easily pick up powder.. just not sure the colours wouldn't mix a bit even though I don't put a lot on the brush. And it is just as easy to wash for sure.

I'm glad it worked for you!

Actually, I have a couple of foptics, but one is the horrible long EDM floptic, lol, and another is kind of hard (relative to my other brushes). The one I usually use is an ultimate one.

I actually really need to invest in a few more premium brushes, but it is so much more fun to buy new colours, lol!

I had tried the cream blush using FO brush for few days.I don't know why the cream blush doesn't stay on my cheeks for long.When I use the powder blush, it's really last till I remove my makeup.But the cream version soesn't seem to stay .Is it just me?Anyone have the same problem with me?

That's odd. I find cream blushes last longer on me (this goes for almost all brands). I have dry skin though, maybe that's why?.. My skin soaks it in and holds it.

My cheeks is not that oily, only my T zone is .I belong to combination skin but I don't know why cream blushes doesn't seem to stay where else powder really can last me whole day.Maybe I should really use really more of the cream & see how it goes.The problem is even I use more & after blending, it's seem to become lighter........:(
I am trying different ways to make it LAST .

Have you tried setting the cream blush with a powder blush of a similar tone? Also, what order do you apply everything in? I'm wondering if something you're putting on your skin before or after your cream blush is causing it to fade away as the day goes on...

Or else, do you have more medium pigmented skin or are you very fair? On a more medium skintone I could see the cream blushes softening color wise during the day enough to look like they've vanished.

I haven't try setting with powder blush.My steps are moisturizer, sunscreen act like a makeup base,primer,foundation,cream blush & last is finishing powder.This are the steps same as I use powder blush & it's really last.I belong to medium skin but is not dark. I use cream blush coz is much faster the powder and also thought it will last longer then powder but it doesn not last on my cheeks.I love the cream blush color that why's I didn't set with another blush color.
