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

  1. After foundation, before powder. Powder under = muddy.

  2. Tap, don’t rub. Creams shear out if you drag them.

  3. Layer with powder to set. A matching powder blush on top locks it in for hours.

💬 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.
