For our last edition of Cosmo.ph Beauty Wars for this month, we chose a hot (but cute) makeup trend—cushion blush.
Read on to find out which one is worth the purchase.
***
Aritaum Sugarballl Cushion Blusher in No. 2 Milk Coral
Price: P520
Where To Buy: Althea
What It Is: It's pigmented, blendable, buildable, and contains a dash of fine shimmer to give cheeks an ~illuminated flush~!
Why We Love It: For those of us that didn't have a fair skintone, we had to layer it a couple times to get it to show up. Once it did, it lasted around five to six hours, leaving our cheeks with a healthy-looking flush! Over all, it was an okay product.
APIEU Airfit Cushion Blusher Rilakkuma Edition in VL01
Price: P810
Where To Buy: Althea
What It Is: APIEU's cushion blush will brighten and give your cheeks a doll-like look that will stay radiant and vivid for hours. It also contains aloe vera to soothe and calm redness, so even girls with sensitive skin can use it.
Why We Love It: The texture and color of the blushwas gorgeous, but it didn't really show up on the cheeks. (Even on fair skin, mind you!) We tried hard to build it up in layers, but it just kept moving our foundations and made one hell of a mess on our faces. Meh.
Sephora Collection Wonderful Cushion Blush in Raspberry Splash
Price: P677
Where To Buy: Sephora.ph
What It Is: You won't have to worry about accidentally applying too much blush anymore because the innovative packaging of Sephora's cushion blush will deposit just the right amount onto your cheeks to deliver a creamy, natural-looking stain for an instant dewy effect.
Why We Love It: First of all the packaging of this blush is amazing. If we were to travel, we would no doubt take this with us. Aside from that, we loved how it pretty it looked no matter how many times we applied it. It also lasted for more than six hours.
