QuestionDo I use a cream or powder highlighter with cream blush?Cecilia FloresTop AnswererYou can use either. Try cream blush on the "no makeup" makeup days, when you're going to be in water (at the beach or pool) but you still want makeup, or if you're not going to wear any base makeup. If you're going to wear it with base makeup, remember to set it. Then you can use any highlighter you want!
