Hello, it’s me again. Here to talk about Glossier. Again. Do you hate me yet? I hope not :).
Every time I sit down to talk about some Glossier products, I just imagine myself lurking around a corner, humming the tune of “Shady’s Back” because here I am, talking to you about some new products from Glossier. But this time, we’re here to talk about their newest launch– Cloud Paint.
The Glossier Cloud Paint Review With Swatches
Cloud Paint is a gel-cream blush in a tube, making it super user and travel friendly. I just haven’t been into a ton of makeup lately so these have been perfect to add a light wash of flush to the cheeks. Like they say, it’s blush that looks like your skin made it.
The finish of these blushes is very skin like so it’s not completely matte, but it’s not super dewy. It just looks very natural. It contains collagen, which makes your skin look very hydrated and healthy. But, the collagen sourced in this isn’t vegan so just be aware of that if that’s something you look for.
Because of its gel cream formula, it lasts on my skin for a good 7ish hours before starting to fade. But even when it begins to fade, it doesn’t look splotchy, and that’s another reason why I think it’s a great cream blush.
I picked up two shades: Haze, a berry, and Dusk, a brownish nude. Haze is my go to when I want more color to my cheeks. It gives you that I-just-got-in-from-the-cold/ I-just-went-running flush that looks effortless and, dare I say it again, natural. Dusk is great when you want something more nude and neutral on the cheeks. It has a slight rosy peachiness to it so it’s not just a straight up brown. And it gives your skin some warmth without being too over the top. These do contain mica so there is a slight shimmer, and I notice that more in Dusk when I swatched them on my arm. But, it’s not noticeable once you apply it on the cheeks.
My favorite way to apply these is with my fingers. You don’t have to be an exquisite painter like Bob Ross to make these work for you, though. I squeeze out a tiny bit of this, and then pat-pat-pat it on my cheeks. It basically blends itself. Just be careful because it’s so easy to squeeze out way too much. I always make that mistake. Let’s just say I can finger paint my whole face with the amount I squeeze out every. single. time.
… but how does it compare?
The only thing that would make these even better is if you could use them on the lips. I love the Becca Beach Tints because they’re safe to use on the lips as well, making them a great multipurpose product, which I always need when I’m scrambling to get ready in the mornings. They’re a cream stain versus the Cloud Paints, which are gel creams. I swatched both Becca and Glossier formulas next to one another to see how they compare, and the Becca ones do dry down a little streaky, and less even, if you don’t blend them in a bit more. So the Beach Tints do require a little more blending. It’s nothing super significant. In fact, I never noticed that until I swatched the Glossier ones next to them. But I thought I would mention it. Another difference is that the Cloud Paints make your skin look a little more healthy and fresh. Perhaps because of the collagen. But, both are pigmented, yet sheer once blended out.
Basically, I love the Cloud Paints, and would consider them great everyday essentials. Especially on those minimal makeup days.. so like every day for me, now. They give some life back into your cheeks and make you look effervescent even on those days you look and feel like a zombie.. so also me, like every day. If you can’t get your hands on Glossier, I would definitely recommend the Becca Beach Tints. The shade Raspberry is very close to Glossier Haze once you apply it to the skin. Plus, you can use it on the lips as well!
