Remember my post about ArtDeco Cream Rouge For Cheeks and Lips?
I did pick up one shade – 17 Creamy Mauve. They all were pretty actually but the mauve one was right up my street.
It comes in a beautiful and chic black compact with the packaging which matches the shade of the blush.
What about the formula and the texture?
The product has a sheer and dewy finish, and is easy to blend into the skin, and you get a beautiful and natural effect. It gives a subtle wash of colour which can be build up for a more intense effect.
I like this modern kind of texture, since I am not exactly the biggest fan of cream-to-powder blushers on my dry skin. However, this may not be the best formula for oily skin. You can powder it with a light setting powder but you will loose the luminosity and the dewiness.
Usually such 2-in-1 products work for lips and don’t work that well for cheeks and vice versa, but not this time.
Cream Rouge feels really nice on the lips, not drying at all, plus the colour is gorgeous. So yes, you can definitely use it for both. And that’s the only product I have beenwearing both on my lips and cheeks for the last week.
This sounds perfect , right?
But, unfortunately, there is one minus. Cream Rouge is not very long-lasting (maybe only on myself?). Which, I guess, with such kind of texture and finish is what you’d expect. I personally don’t mind re-applying it during the day, so I still love it, as the youthful glow (yes, I mean it) it gives is worth it, in my opinion.
Unfortunately, I don’t remember the exact price, and don’t know where my receipt is, but it was around €12-€13.
I’ve been waiting for this ever since you posted that delicious preview. So glad to hear these are properly creamy and not deceptive and powdery like the new Chanel ones (gee, can you tell I’m a bitter dry-skinned blush fiend?)
Hi Kate,
Can you tell, that I love creamy blushes, too? 😉 If you don’t mind re-applying, these can be something you may like. x
