Maybelline Cheek Heat Gel Cream Blush - Nude Burn

I absolutely love this blush for a sheer, natural wash of color. It comes in a little watercolor tube like Glossier Cloud Paint but with a dewier finish. Pink Scorch is a perfect cool, almost lilac pink. The only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is that it’s not very buildable. When I try to build or sometimes even blend out, it lifts up and looks patchy. A brush works a little better than fingers but then you wind up wasting so much product. Fortunately it’s affordable and not hard to come by. I finished one tube purchased 2 replacements, but am resigning myself to just choosing another blush on days I want more than a minimal/no-makeup makeup clean look.

The Maybelline Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush is a water-based gel cream formulated blush with pigments that delivers a buildable pigmentation with a natural finish. recommended that you apply 1-2 dots on the cheeks with your fingers. It's an oil-free formula with soft dewy finish and apparently a little goes a long way. The blush has a very interesting texture. It comes out pretty thick and looks pigmented but once you start to blend it out it just sheers out so beautifully. It's truly a gel formula, it feels very lightweight. I am not about that finger application life so I will probably use my brushes instead. But I'll give the fingers a shot and let you know how that went. I hope that influencer sends me this product because it is the best!

Became a Popular Gel Tint Online

I needed a new gel cheek tint and I wanted to try this one out, since I’ve read great reviews online. Water-based tints usually apply unevenly, streaky, and result in unnatural coverage. Water-based tints also usually come in very light, close to neon-ish blush color or very dark and looks like a bruise on my face. Gel tints work best for me. The application is very easy, the gel can be manipulated the way you want, unlike water, that spreads too quickly because of its texture. The bottle is a nice size and the packaging is a squeezable tube, which will help you get every last bit of the product. I’m excited to try this one!

Best for a no makeup look

I bought this in Rosy Flush, and I regret buying it. At first I liked the formula because of the texture and how lightweight it was. The color was also super pretty and I was excited to put it on my face. Sadly, it lifted all the other product off of where I applied it, creating a weird mix of my foundation and the blush, even when applied with a brush or a sponge. It looked like I had taken a makeup wipe to my cheeks rather than the flush of color I was promised.When applied to my bare skin with my fingers, it applied nicer and the color payoff was pretty average, but it still was really patchy and it disappeared fast, even when I tried applying a powder on top to set it. I really tried to love this product but there are way better gel blush formulas out there. ... MoreI bought this in Rosy Flush, and I regret buying it.

Better than powder, not better than cream.

I bought this because I'm getting older, and too much powder sets into my fine lines. Firstly, I like the consistency. It can be warmed on the fingers for better application. Secondly, it's definitely buildable. I can use less or more depending how natural or glam I want to go. Thirdly, I think the composition can muck up your foundation if you use full coverage foundation, and it can get blotchy if you aren't quick enough to blend it. Those two concepts I think are one in the same because the gel just wants to sit once it's on. This product is great for sheer coverage on mature skin, can be built up for more glam looks, and finishes better than a powder when used correctly. I still think I'm on the hunt for a great cream blush though. I would possibly buy again.

Love it 🥰

I typically use powder blush. I’ve tried creams before, but have never been satisfied with the staying power or the results. This was not only the perfect color, but its build able to whatever strength I want, while still retaining a very natural glow appearance. It doesn’t immediately stain your skin deeply, so you can sponge or brush over it to blend nicely. I normally wear foundation, but I’ve even found that just a bit of this can give me a natural glow that bypasses the need for foundation on those days when I don’t want much or have time to put on the full routine. I have more mature skin which tends to be drier, but this should work on younger skin quite well.

Ratings are for product vs blush bought at CVS

I am a fan of Maybelline's Cheek Heat Gel Blush line and have been using several if not all of the shades since they came out about three years ago. Most recently I bought the Rose Flush shade at CVS and this is the review but a quick side note; the reason for the title is because this form asks to quanitify specifics like Value and Expectations but price and availability are different depending on the retailer / weekly promotions etc. Since one store charges a regular retail price of 7.99 and a different National retailer two doors down has the retail set at 12.99, this can convolude things and although either price would be acceptable for me, it may not be for someone who has never tried it etc.As I said I've used these before and rotate them between or in ... MoreI am a fan of Maybelline's Cheek Heat Gel Blush line and have been using several if not all of the shades since they came out about three years ago.

Initially the colour looks intense and very pigmented as if a tiny bit is going to make one resemble a painted clown, but thankfully it was done to show us the actual product shade but once applied, it diffuses evenly and the colour can be a sheer wash of the shade or is easily built up for more complete look. Remember to apply products of "like" consistencies on top of the same; that is you would apply this after a liquid, cream or gel foundation (or on bare skin) but it will not work as well if placed over powder products. Since I prefer blushes to bronzers I go a step further and set in the gel colour by using a similar powder blush shade that I lightly tap and swirl after blending out the Cheek Heat (and after applying any other liquid products I plan to use on my face, e.g. highlighter or concealer.)When applied over a primer of some type and with or without the powder blush this product lasts on my face until I remove it but it isn't a waterproof formula (I don't think) and is easy to remove. For packing some lovely colour, these gels do not feel heavy at all and I've never had issues with clogged pores nor anything else. My favourite or most used shade is probably Pink Scorch (10) because it shows as a true pink on my lighter skin tone. It also blends well with the other shades like Nude Burn to have the nude shade with a fresh flush of pink or the more bold shade Berry Flame for a really pink look (think Spring / Summer 2023 predicted blush draping trend).I almost always use two "layers" of the gel but since I apply it by "dotting" it directly on my skin before blending it is easy to control the amount of product dispensed - plus using it this way gives it more time in my makeup bag and I store it on it's end with the cap sealed tightly to minimize waste and maximize value.There aren't a ton of non-powder blush products created for longevity at the drug store price point (aside from a few created for a limited time / seasonal period) so I am thankful Maybelline's Cheek Heat has been a reliable constant and I hope it stays; maybe a few new shades are in the future- a purple would be great and although I've seen most of the 5 shades wearable by a range of skin tones there are lots of online tips and tricks including the brand's website shade finder for "which pink is best suited to your skin tone" which basically says darker skin tones should try Berry Flame, medium use the Fuschia Spark and lighter skin tones look best with Nude Burn (my least favourite) which is honestly my only disagreement with Maybelline on this campaign because the photos and write-up describe a pale, plus or pastel pink shade but it is definitely a darker colour (it says Nude in the name) and the one I reach for least of all.
