6 Cream Blushes You Should Consider for Cold-Weather Skin

The Best Matte Lipsticks For Fall

The Lip Bar Vegan Matte Liquid Lipstick

The Lip Bar's 'Rebel' Vegan Matte Liquid Lipstick is going to give you the sultry pout you've been dreaming of. It almost looks brown in the tube, but you'll see that it's actually more of a deep burgundy shade.

The fun thing about this formula is that it applies like lipgloss, but dries down to a matte texture that feels oh-so-good. With just one swipe, your lips will be rewarded with an intense color pay-off that'll have people asking you where you found such a gorgeous shade.

Huda Beauty Power Bullet Matte Lipstick

Liquid formulas aren't for everyone because they can get out of hand if you forget about their initial glossy application. A good alternative to that is Huda Beauty's Power Bullet Matte Lipstick with it's cruelty-free ingredients! It does have a creamy texture, but it only adds to the smoothness you'll feel when wearing it.

Tom Ford Lip Color Matte Lipstick

Everyone should at least have one tube of sexy red lipstick in their makeup bag because it's going to brighten your face while making you look like you're on top of business for the day. Since you have more pressing things to worry about than finding the perfect shade, Tom Ford's 'Ruby Rush' is the vibrant true red you need!

Formulated without parabens and sulfates, the soothing Vitamins E & C will provide all the comfort your lips need.

Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick

Want to achieve a long-wearing matte look on a budget? Head to your local CVS or Target to pick up one of Maybelline's Superstay Ink Lipsticks! The 'Exhilarator' shade is slightly darker than Tom Ford's 'Ruby Rush,' but that may make you feel more comfortable. We've found that darker reds tend to be a little more forgiving if you don't want to wear lipliner.

Despite the affordable price, Maybelline's lipstick provides the same rich intensity as luxury brands and offers over 10 hours of wear. You also won't see as much transfer when drinking or planting a kiss on someone special.

Revlon Colorstay Suede Ink

If you ever see the word 'ink' in a matte lipstick's name, trust that you're going to be wearing something that barely budges. While you won't be able to wear this past your work shift without reapplying it before happy hour, you'll get crisp color that'll make everyone stop and stare at you in admiration.

You're free to get any shade you want for less than $10, but 'Lip Bloom' is speaking to the leopard print outfits we have planned.

Westman Atelier Lip Suede Matte Lipstick

This may surprise you, but this 'Lou Lou' shade is still considered a red lipstick. It's as bold as it's comfortable to wear, thanks to its suede texture. You won't experience any icky feathering that occurs when you wear some matte lipsticks nor will you have to worry about reapplying multiple coats throughout the day.

WYN BEAUTY Word of Mouth Max Comfort Matte Lipstick

WYN Beauty may have created the prettiest berry matte lipstick of the year, and the fact it's universal makes us want to personally thank Serena Williams for the inclusivity. Since we can't do that yet, we're here to tell you why you should get this if you're afraid of wearing matte lipsticks that contrast with your skin's undertone.

Not only is Word of Mouth Max Comfort a vegan product, it also boasts up to 24 hours of hydration. Based on the 4.6 rating on Ulta, we think other customers can vouch for it!

Juvia's Place Nude Velvety Matte Lipstick

Instead of wearing so much color on your lips this fall, you can choose a neutral matte lipstick to pair with your favorite lipgloss for the ultimate '90s "It" Girl look! This 'Toffee' shade is a safe bet because it offers a hint of color that won't overpower your makeup. Plus, it has hyaluronic acid in it!

Makeup Forever Longwearing Matte Lipstick

"Everything's coming up roses" with Makeup Forever's Longwearing 'Memorable Spice' Matte Lipstick. It's another neutral that works well with a brown lipliner and gloss, but you can always skip the shiny finish if you want! Delivering high-performance color and a weightless feel, you'll be glad you decided to give it a chance.

P.S. The sleek design makes it easy to fit in the smallest of Target bags!

Nyx Cosmetics Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick

It's hard not be influenced by TikTok trends, but we're not pretending that we're above them! We've come across some of our best makeup buys because of other people's thorough reviews which is why NYX Cosmetic's Lip Lingerie XXL Matte Liquid Lipstick made our list!

'Dusky Muted Rose' is a "full-bodied matte lipstick" that's long-wearing and vegan; two things we can't get enough of. Honestly, no one wants to wear something that disrupts their hormones!

The BEST Cream Blush Ever:

Tower 28 BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush (Dream Hour)

I shared this beauty when talking about dupes for the best blush for my brown skin, and there's a reason why. Besides the intense pigment you get from what's arguably the best cream blush ever, you can trust that it's a certified clean product at Sephora. AND it won an Allure Best of Beauty Award in 2021.

From the packaging to the pigment of the blush, it looks exactly as advertised. I made the mistake of swiping too much product to do a swatch, but at least I found out how creamy it is. Compared to the Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Blurring Balm PowderI use, Tower 28's blush isn't as creamy, but that's not to say it's lacking. I'd say it's a beginner-friendly blush that's a little more forgiving than most on the market.

According to Tower28, this cream blush can be used multiple ways in order to give you a glowy look that's not overdone. It's described as being creamy, pigmented, and marked safe for anyone who has sensitive skin. Prior to using this using this product, I relied heavily on the Tower 28's SOS Spray, so I wasn't surprise how well this cream blush worked with my reactive skin.

I was, however, shocked at how well it worked, skin-issues aside. Tower28 says its supposed to seamlessly melt into the skin instead of drawing attention to fine lines — and I can definitely attest to that! If I don't apply my concealer or setting powder correctly, my under eye area shows signs of creasing which can affect the top of my blush placement. But, I honestly haven't had to worry about that since using BeachPlease.

It looks like my skin and the blush reached an agreement where they've suddenly decided they're willing to work together for a smooth look.

What makes this Tower28 cream blush a clean product?

It has aloe vera extract in it that hydrates the skin, green tea extract that calms it as a natural antioxidant, and castor seed oil that has a healthy dose of fatty acids in it. I tend to break out in inflamed pimples on my cheeks right before and after my cycle, but this blush doesn't irritate them at all. I noticed the blush seems to minimize that inflammation without drying out the skin underneath, making me believe this counts as skincare makeup.

The best cream blush's packaging also has an Earth Sensitive Pledge because 50% of it derives from post-consumer recycled plastic. Knowing that Tower 28's mission leans towards caring for the skin first and sustainability, this was a huge green flag for me!

What have other customers said about Tower 28's BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Cream Blush?

Customers can't stop talking about this blush! One user says that this is their third Tower28 blush and that it's "great for mature skin." Others note that it's "so easy to blend," that it "stays on," and that the color is "perfect for all skin tones."

After reading these, plus my experience with this incredible cream blush, I'm definitely a fan for life and think you should become one too! However, if this blush doesn't suit you, here are four other options to add to cart!

More Cream Blushes To Add To Your Cart

LAWLESS Pinch My Cheeks Soft-Blur Cream Blush (Starburst)

This is another clean cream blush that's also gluten-free! It does feel like velvet when putting it on the skin, but you won't be able to tell it's on after you apply it because it's weightless. This has everything to do with the hybrid elastomer miscrosphere powders found in the product.

There's also green tea extract and micronized pigments it it! Together they protect the skin from harmful properties and make it easy blend into the skin.

If you need another incentive, you can trust this cream blush is free of phthalates and sulfates SLS & SLES.

e.l.f. Putty Blush (Caribbean)

Need a much more affordable cream blush that still gets the job done? You know e.l.f. is fantastic go-to drugstore brand!

In addition to being lightweight, this blush glides on cream before 'drying' to a semi-matte finish, but that's nothing to be afraid of. The argan oil and Vitamin E keeps your skin hydrated while you're wearing it so you won't experience any weird flakiness wherever you apply it.

It's also free from parabens, nonylphenol ethoxylates, triclosan, triclocarban, and hydroquinone.

Milani Cheek Kiss Cream Blush (Nude Kiss)

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush (Raisin Standardz)

Fall starts next month so you'll want a cream blush that helps you usher in the new season with a smile on your face. Fenty Beauty's Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush in the color Raisin Standardz is going to give you the deep flush you're looking for, and it'll match your cozy OOTDs!

It has a buildable formula that's creamy, water-resistant, and offers the most luminous glow. It also doesn't have phthalates or parabens in it!

A post shared by Yanic Truesdale (@yanic_truesdale)

Kelly Bishop and Yanic Truesdale recently got together for dinner in Paris, sharing a "most decadent 6 course meal" at a restaurant called Apicius. Yanic proudly posted the photos of his reunion with his close friend and former co-star, even mentioning that this happened to be Kelly's first time in Paris — how exciting! While we're sure Emily Gilmore's been to Paris plenty of times, we're so happy about this fabulous milestone for Kelly!

Yanic also noted that they're both filming for yet Amy Sherman-Palladino's next show, Étoile.This show takes place between Paris and NYC, following two ballet companies as they swap their greatest stars to see how they thrive elsewhere. Kelly used to be a fabulous dancer, starring as Sheila in the original Broadway cast of A Chorus Line, so this project is beyond perfect for her! And Yanic? Well we already know how he fairs as a French man in an Amy show. 😘

So while we wait for their highly-anticipated on-screen reunion, this off-screen chemistry will have to hold us over!

If you can't get enough of Kelly — and you know we cant — it's a great time to pick up her memoir, The Third Gilmore Girl. The book details her life and experiences on the Gilmore Girls set, giving you an inside look into her experience as that Broadway star, the Gilmore matriarch, and beyond.

BRB while we read this and wait for more reunions, Étoile, and yet another a Gilmore Girls revival — A Year In The Life season 2, anyone?!
