Powder
Pressed dry pigment that you swirl on with a brush. It kills midday shine and gives the strongest colour punch, but can look chalky if your skin is even slightly dehydrated. Oily skins love it; normal to dry skins need to prep well.

Liquid / Cheek Tint
A watery or water-oil fluid that sinks in like a stain. It delivers the sheerest, most “just went for a run” flush and lasts the longest, but sets in seconds—blend fast. Ideal for hot weather or truly oily complexions.

Cream (in a pot or pan)
A buttery wax-oil base that melts with finger heat and leaves a dewy, skin-like veil. Perfect for dry or mature skin in cool months; can slide on very oily skin unless you set it.

-
Bouncy / Gel-Cream
Feels like a cold marshmallow that springs back when pressed. It goes on creamy, then turns to a soft-powder finish, giving you the blend-time of a cream with the oil control of a powder. Almost fool-proof for every skin type and great for on-the-go touch-ups.

Colour-changing / pH Blush
Same bases as cream, liquid or oil, but the dye is encapsulated and reacts to your skin’s pH and temperature, turning from clear to a custom pink. The payoff is ultra-sheer and mistake-proof—excellent for beginners or no-makeup makeup fans.

Stick
Cream formula poured into a twist-up bullet. Draw straight on the cheeks, pat to blend, done. Travel-friendly and quick; choose a matte stick if you’re oily and dust a little translucent powder on top.

Oil / Serum Blush
An oil base loaded with micro-pigments. It spreads like a face oil and sets to a soft, filtered glow that won’t emphasise texture or fine lines. Dry and mature skins get “colour plus skincare” in one step; very oily skins should press a light powder afterwards to avoid afternoon dullness.

One-line cheat sheet
Grab powder for oil-control and bold payoff, liquid for the longest-wearing stain, cream for dewy hydration, bouncy for zero-skill blending, colour-changing if you fear over-doing it, stick for speed, and oil for a luminous, skin-care boost.
