Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush - #02 Petal Poppin 3G

💜 Drama Cla$$, 🧡 Fenty Glow, and 💖 Bora Bora The Fenty cream blushes are a really fun way to add a pop of colour to the cheeks especially if you're looking for some really unique blush shades. The shade range is beautiful and incorporates nudes, 'wearable' blush tones and some vibrant pops! They come in a really bite-sized and travel friendly compact which I think look very chic. I do find the blushes slightly tricky to open (it's a clasp closure but there isn't really a 'lip' or edge to hold onto in order to prise the lid open). The blush pan is shallow which makes the blush easy to access with a brush or sponge. The blush texture is on the emollient side and melts into the skin beautifully. They are extremely easy to blend into the complexion with either ... More💜 Drama Cla$$, 🧡 Fenty Glow, and 💖 Bora Bora The Fenty cream blushes are a really fun way to add a pop of colour to the cheeks especially if you're looking for some really unique blush shades.

They are extremely easy to blend into the complexion with either a brush or a sponge. Even though some of the shades look super wacky and intimidating in the pan, the blush is medium-sheer pigmented so you can build up the shade without having too much colour on the cheeks at once. Even the purple blush (Drama class) is surprisingly wearable once blended out - and I have very fair skin!! Some of the blush shades have micro-glitters incorporated in them and provide a slightly luminous finish once applied (Fenty glow) and others are true mattes (Drama class and Bikini martini). The blushes dry down and don't feel tacky or sticky on the skin. I always like to apply a light layer of powder over the blushes to prolong their wear, but I've never really experienced any issues with fading through the day. Overall - I really like these blushes. They have a nice range of shades and some fun pops which don't exist in other cream blush brands. They look beautiful and wear well and I don't think anyone would be disappointed if you tried them 🤗

Fenty Beauty takes what it makes and creates products that are unlike any other. You don’t want a Fenty Beauty dupe, you want the real thing! Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush is a perfect example of this. I got the Summertime Wine. Cute packaging, with a mirror and the blush is buttery smooth and super blend-able. This cream blush looks so natural on cheeks as opposed to the way powder blush sits on top of skin. Perfect for the “no make up” look, which I love, while at the same time, it blends effortlessly to look phenomenal with a full face of makeup. Extremely versatile and even a great color on my lips. Total Knock Out 🖤

I absolutely love this blush! I’ve tried quite a few cream/liquid blushes and needed to re-up on cream blush so I grabbed this one and I am so glad I did! It applies and blends easily, is buildable, sets nicely, and lasts for quite a while! I got the shade Cool Berry which is a soft mauve color and this is in natural lighting and then bad indoor lighting. I love how it looks and think it works very well for a light makeup look like I was going for! I will definitely be picking up another shade, as I really want to try “Bikini Martini” (my gfs say I’m a bubblegum dumdum) because it was described as a cool toned bubblegum pink which would be PERFECT for me. Anyways, will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful cream blush!

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush is my absolute favorite blush. period. I have tried a few other cream blushes before running into this one and they can't compare. The formula feels so light and nice on the skin and each color is so pigmented, easy to blend, and beautiful and natural looking. My favorite colors for my fair skin are petal poppin and strawberry drip. I was worried at first that the price wasn't worth the amount of product that you get, but I've been using it almost everyday and it's been over 5 months now. I prefer to use a (clean) finger to grab the product and place on my cheeks, then I use a brush to blend it out. Would definitely recommend trying. I refuse to use anything else now.

An Absolute Must-Have For Blush Lovers!

I have Bikini Martini & Crush on Cupid. They are more on the matte side, but not fully matte. Topping them with a powder blush, translucent setting powder or mattifying setting spray can easily yield true matte results. As I have mature skin, I err on the side of dewy/luminous. I’ve found the best application for me is to use a brush, spray it with a setting spray (I use What it Dew) and apply in a stippling motion; any brush works. I usually use a flat foundation brush by Anastasia or one of these by Morphe; M6, M449, R46, or M500.It lasts as long as I need it to, I’ve never had to reapply. They are very buildable! I have fair skin and have friends of different ethnicities, I’d definitely consider this cream blush line to be fully inclusive.Learning curve for ... MoreI have Bikini Martini & Crush on Cupid.

I’ve been using cream blush since Laura Mercier dropped hers.This blush sits nicely in the pan and is relatively firm. This is nice and gives you more control for building versus something creamier may be more difficult to control application.I’ll definitely be working on getting the entire collection. I love the brand although as with all brands, Fenty has its fair share of hits and misses. These are a hit and make a great addition to anyones collection.Colors are pretty much spot on compared to the online pictures, too.

Fiiiine....it really is AMAZING

I avoided this blush for so long because everyone was obsessing over it. I recognize that is a ridiculous reason to not try something - but it feels like people overhype everything these days. I finally tried it after numerous brands at Sephora were not hitting the mark.So, yes, this blush is AMAZING and worth the praise. Here's why: the color range is unmatched, the application is foolproof and doesn't require a brush (great for traveling light), the price is reasonable, and the formula is incredible. It is flattering on dry and/or aging skin and allows for a natural flush, or you can build up for a bolder look. You don't need much, so I anticipate it lasting for quite some time. It also wears nicely throughout the day.I purchased Strawberry Drip for my natural ... MoreI avoided this blush for so long because everyone was obsessing over it.

I think the colors are so versatile and flattering that it is hard to go wrong. And at this price point, you can buy multiple for the price of one blush of another brand (this an affordable price when considering that you are buying cosmetics at Sephora).

LOVE THE COLOR, buildable

This is my first cream blush that I've ever tried. I've always had powders or liquid. This product is the happy medium for me. It's super buildable so if you want a defined blush look you apply more. At first it may seem that nothing is coming off but you just need a decent amount of product. I don't love a super defined blush look. If you want something super pigmented and strong I would say this product is probably not for you.Overall I love it. The application is easy. You can use a brush/sponge/fingers. My only complain would be that it does take a decent amount of product to build but beyond that it's a super pretty blush and the formula blends really nice with my foundation.

Lovely orange colour.

I bought the orange yellow shade of this and I loved the colour a lot more than I thought. It applies best with fingers in order to not disturb makeup underneath . Looks very beautiful on darker skin. I am mixed race and this looks very beautiful and natural. It is very buildable and you can make it as subtle or as vibrant as you want. The only thing I didn’t like was the little sparkles in the blush. I go for a more Matt look and I don’t like the sparkles but if you like the highlight/ shimmer blush look this is great. I still use this lots and love it though.

Not For Me

I'm new to cream blush. I am a WOC (think Fenty 420-445 range, neutral golden undertone. I do not have a shade match in Fenty foundations) and I enjoy sheer, shimmer-free blushes in the coral family. I drape my blush and usually apply it high on my cheekbones, temples, and brow bones/forehead. I don't like this product for me. The color is stunning, but a bit too harsh of a red on me- it makes me look sunburnt or like I'm having an allergic reaction to something. I also find that the color is very flat on me. There is no shimmer, which I love, but the formula is dry enough that it offers very little dimension/glow on my cheeks no matter what I prep my skin with. The blush is difficult to blend with my fingers, difficult to control with a brush, and I don't like ... MoreI'm new to cream blush. I am a WOC (think Fenty 420-445 range, neutral golden undertone.

The blush is difficult to blend with my fingers, difficult to control with a brush, and I don't like applying creams with sponges so I can't speak on that. It does, however, look really good on my lips under a gloss. It has fantastic longevity but is difficult to remove without an oil cleanser (I don't use makeup wipes) and actually stained the skin of my friend with a drastically lighter complexion than mine. I haven't used foundation in a long time, but I feel that this would work best built up and layered under foundation as opposed to placed on top because of how dry it is. I should also mention that the mirror is great despite how tiny it is and that this product is super expensive considering its size ($200/oz). I definitely see the appeal of this blush, but it just isn't what I'm going for, and that's ok! I'm going to return it and move on. I've found that I prefer the formulation and finish Patrick Ta's blush duos (and surprisingly his coral shade isn't ashy?), so consider that one if you have similar preferences!

Perfect consistency, perfect color

I had been looking for the perfect berry colored cream blush for a long time and this had immediately become one of my favorites. The formula is so easy to apply and blend and the color really compliments my skin tone. The cream is so smooth it honestly feels like perfectly softened butter. The color pay off and great and it’s easily buildable. One swipe and it’s perfect for my work days when I’m out in the field as an engineer. When I want to up the intensity I just go in for a heavier swipe in the pan. However, personally, I prefer stick formulas because it’s easier for me to apply on the go. I like the look of this product when I use it with my fingers instead of directly picking it up with a brush, which becomes a nuisance when I’m not at able to clean my hands ... MoreI had been looking for the perfect berry colored cream blush for a long time and this had immediately become one of my favorites.
