Silk Naturals

I am VERY excite to see this (just waiting for Strawberries & Champagne to make a return before I place my order)!! If anyone has received theirs yet please can you post a swatch?

Are there more cream blushes on the way? I really hope so, as I love wearing cream based products in the summer for a more dewey look, but hate all of the chemicals the cream shadows/blush other companies produce seem to contain.

If this is just a one off (perhaps due to lack of shelf space at SN HQ), maybe you could release a cream blush mixing medium (similar idea to the clear shadow liner but with more slip) so that you can 'make your own' with the blushes you already have?

ohhhhhhhh I can't wait either to place my next order to get the cream blush and S&C of course.

I have never used cream blusher before, what's the best way to apply to the cheek?

Dead easy !!!

You do need to apply it to 'moist' skin; on moisturised skin, or over tinted moisturiser or liquid/cream/mousse foundation is fine, but NOT on top of powder. If you need to powder, then it should be on top of the cream product otherwise you could end up cakey.

Just dot a bit on the apple of your cheek & blend (I have given it a bash with a foundation brush before but the results are always better if I just use my fingers - think the warmth must help). It can take a bit of practice to judge the right amount but as with any blush product, less it always more to start with!

I have used a few different cream blushes before, and what can make some trickier to work with than others is that they dry out or set more quickly, so you don't have as much time to work with them; I would imagine SN blushes would use natural oils etc to give them their creamy texture so this shouldn't be a problem.

HTH.

I do need to post a swatch- and I'll update the ingredients. I did put just a little cyclomethicone in this one to help it blend more easily- and it works right on top of powdered foundation! Loverly is super super pigmented- all you need is just the smallest little bit- like the amount that sticks to your ring finger, or maybe even a little less. If you like it I'm always happy to make more! They're pretty fun to make.

I got my order and i do like the cream blush! It looks very natural and was not too difficult to use. I used it overtop of a silk powder foundation. Also in the pic:

Lips: Modern Poet overtop of Divine overtop of Sparkle for an uber-pale pink look
Eyes(not too visible): Primer, Whipped Cream to highlight, Lilac (from gumballs) over lid, and stir crazy(GWP) on the outer third. Would do individual pics but i just can't seem to photograph my eyes very well.
Cheeks: Loverly Cream Blush

Thanks for the pic! Put in an order to get Loverly

(My first post here! Yay!)

Just wanted to add my 2 cents about the Loverly cream blush - I absolutely LOVE it!!! Just a little, tiny bit goes a long way, and it is the perfect color for my fair, neutral, freckled face. I would really love to see this produced in "regular" size for sale - I'd buy it in an instant, seriously.

for those who have gotten Loverly: does it last longer than mineral blush? i am happy with the blushes i have, but they don't have great staying power...wondering if i should try the cream formula? thanks

I'm not sure I can give an accurate answer . . . I tend to apply my makeup in the morning and not look at my face again until the evening, and so I haven't noticed in the past how quickly my mineral blush fades. I did notice the first day that I tried Loverly that the color was still there and looking pretty fresh when I got off work for the day (I'd applied it that morning) - so, it has all the staying power I need it to.

For me the cream blush "lovely" lasts longer than the mineral powder blush I have. Maybe 6 hrs verse the 2/3 that powder blusH gives me? It's also so much easier to carry around and touch up on.

And it really is lovely! It's such a gorgeous colour. I thought it'd be too sparkly for me but I absolutely love it, I'm pretty obsessed with it actually haha.
