Cream blushers, cream bronzers, cream highlighters – when it comes to make-up, «cream» is the texture of the moment. But how exactly is it different to powder?

There was a time when powder was the measure of all things. At least in the beauty universe. But the competition has caught up. These days, everything that was once powder is now also available in a cream or liquid version. And this is increasingly the case. The last two summers felt as if all brands did was bring out cream bronzers and blushes. I did my best in the video above to explain the advantages and disadvantages of the two options and which one is right for you. Oh, and there’s a lot of hand-waving as well.

As a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
