These are the cream-based makeup products we can't get enough of

It may be heating up out there, but you don’t have to sacrifice your makeup routine for rising temperatures. Some adjustments might need to be made, but you can absolutely achieve the fresh faced look of your dreams without worrying about your products slipping and sliding. This is where cream-based products come in! Think hydrated, dewy-looking, multi-tasking wonders.

I probably recommend this product more than any other! I can’t over state it. This cream highlighter will instantly brighten your skin, catching the light in all the right places. If you want your skin to look instantly hydrated and brighter, this is the product for you. It’s also available in shade Sun Halo, which has more of a bronzy undertone, so if you want to skip the traditional bronzer but still achieve that tone while brightening, give that one a look, too! I apply Falling Star every single day to my cheekbones and the corners of my eyes for instant brightening.

This is one of the easiest products you’ll ever use! Vapour Beauty’s Multi Sticks are predominately used as blush, but you can also use as a lip color or in place of eyeshadow. One gentle swipe of the stick and you’ve got instant creamy color and the added benefit of skin soothing ingredients.

Another highly pigmented, multi-taking wonder product! The smallest amount of this blended able cream melts into your skin, creating instant color. Tap on cheeks for a hydrating blush, swipe across lips or blend onto eyelids. You can’t go wrong.

If you’ve been intimidated by bronzers in the past, I highly recommend trying a cream formula. These are super blended and give you a more subtle glow. It’ll melt into your skin and stay in place all day without you ever worrying about it caking.
