What Glossier's New Cloud Paint Blushes Look Like on Real Women

"It’s official: I’m ditching powder blushes and committing fully to this whole cream blush movement. The texture and finish are just too good! I wore the shade ‘Dusk’ just slightly off my cheekbones and into my hairline. I love this rosy-rust shade for its double-duty power as both a blush and a contour. Oh and just a little bit dabbed on your lips—can you say triple threat?" 

"I dabbed the Glossier Cloud Paint Blush in Beam in between my highlighter and contour, dragging the pigment to the top of my cheekbones. The blush is very buildable and dries with a subtle matte finish."

"Cream blush has always been a part of my regular makeup routine. Since I'm pretty fair and can look washed out, I rely on it for a hit of color. However, I've always hated shimmery blushes and have never been able to find one with just the right dewy (but not sparkly!) finish until I met this little Glossier guy. While Haze looks like a deep Berry, it actually goes on a lot more sheer and one coat on my cheeks leaves the best flush of rosy color. (Think how your grandma used to pink your cheeks growing up.) 

I wore it when I was sick with a really bad cold and had never received so many compliments that day, so needless to say I'm declaring Haze my new signature blush shade. One tip: The product comes out of the tube extremely fast so just give it a little squeeze or your finger painting will turn into a Jackson Pollock-esque splatter." 

"There were about three hours in my life when I was really big on blush. It was back in college when the Hello Kitty for MAC collection had launched, and I used to pile on that hot pink blush like it was my job. I thought it looked good in person, but when I saw a picture of myself wearing it, I almost had a panic attack at how heavy-handed the application was and swore off the product for years. I stuck by my contour and highlight, until Glossier dropped their new Cloud Paints. Naturally, I chose the now-infamous Glossier pink shade, or Puff, according to its official name. A little goes a long way, so you don’t need a ton to give your complexion that 'I just put in some work at yoga class' glow, and I love how it practically melts into my skin."
