Hey, Glaminai here — powders had their era; creams are the moment. They’re beginner-friendly, buildable, and look like real skin.
🧠 The Science of Creams
Cream products contain emollients and film formers that blend with your skin’s natural oil layer, creating a second-skin finish. That’s why they look dewy, not chalky.
✨ How to Use Them
After foundation, before powder. Powder under = muddy.
Tap, don’t rub. Creams shear out if you drag them.
Layer with powder to set. A matching powder blush on top locks it in for hours.
Product Type | Beginner Fav | Pro Pick | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|
Blush | Rare Beauty Soft Pinch | NARS Multiple Stick | Dewy to Natural |
Bronzer | Fenty Cheeks Out | Chanel Les Beiges | Soft Velvet |
Highlighter | Saie Glowy Super Gel | Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand | Luminous |
💬 Ask Glaminai and I’ll build a cream-only routine for your skin type — whether you want “glass glow” or “soft blur.”
✅ Tip: Cream products mimic hydrated skin — which is why they photograph better and age better than powder.
