Skip The Brush Cream to Powder Blush Stick - Golden Guava - 2-in-1 Cream Blush and Lip Color Stick - Blendable, Buildable Cheek Formula, No Brush Required, Cruelty-Free, For All Skin Types

Time to try some new make up and I love this brand. I’m wearing Skip the Brush Trio of muted mauve, neutral bronze, and sheer glow. These colors blend seamlessly. Eyeshadow is Stone matte on the crease, putty matte on the lid, and snowflake matte on the brow. Eyeliner is smoky taupe shimmer. Lipstick is Rich plum. These go on like a cream and after 45 seconds or so they dry like a powder, but don’t make you look cakey, as you can see in the photo. My face has a lovely healthy glow to it without looking glittery. Honestly, this makeup isn’t going anywhere and it should last all day. I have mature skin that is not sensitive, so I cannot comment on the compatibility on sensitive skin. Of course I always use a moisturizer and an eye cream before applying makeup. I do not have any foundation on or any tinted moisturizer in this photo. This is just what the product looks like on my face. It does not take long to apply and if you need to wipe it off to lighten your application, you have to use a baby or facial wipe or something that can remove make up. This is combination is a winner for me, as the mauve will go with all the colors I wear and looks great with my hair and face tone.

I am very pleased with this blue, it is true to color, a smooth application, and enhances the appearance of my skin.

53 W/F menopausal Lt/medium combo skin. Stopped wearing makeup a while ago because my historic go to’s weren’t sitting on my skin right anymore. After some research, got these to try the stick formulations as the price point was middle of the road, reviews were good and I have a ton of Julep shadow sticks which are very good. Tried them as soon as they arrived. Even on bare non prepped skin, they blended well. Left a nice sheer color payoff. Application was quick and easy. The guava blush color is a dupe for NARS Orgasm (best most versatile blush of all time) which is sort of a sunburn color so very natural looking once blended out despite its bright appearance in the tube. The sheer hi lighter is lovely. An actual sheer, no glitter/strobe light effect. Bronzers can be too orange for my cool tone skin but this one wasn’t however, it leaned too yellow for me to use as an eye shadow on my pasty white lids though I may have just applied too much in my rushed non prepped trial. I have not ordered the foundation stick because I’m happy with the one I have but might just for travel/on the go. I’ve ordered the medium contour stick and some other blush colors and will report back if anything is notable. On my bare skin with no foundation/powder, this washed off quickly with a standard face wash. Only reason for 4 stars is I wish they had more color options, and I haven’t tested the length of wear yet. UPDATE: Tried additional colors with full skin prep, tinted serum, etc. Blended better but not so much better that you couldn't skip prep/tinted serum/foundation. My daughter actually complimented it and said it looked very natural. Wore while just home for the day to verify longevity. A little powder to the T Zone after a few hours which I would need anyway regardless of formulation/brand. I prefer to contour stick in Mocha to the Bronzer as it has no hi-light and is less yellow on my lids. My daughter said they looked the same, but I like to control my own hi-light, especially since I still get oily in some places. Now for color...the Desert Rose is warm, almost coppery. Not great for cooler toned skin but would be gorgeous on you warmer gals. The Muted Mauve is a very cool almost Lavendar. I'm sure it would be beautiful if one were wearing similar colors or maybe on very fair or silver haired gals but if natural is what you're going for, I don't think this one isn't it. The most natural to me for any skin tone would be the Guava because it mimics the color of a little sun or a good run/workout. I have yet to try the rose gold or peony because they're sold out here and on the Julep web site. As I mentioned, I use them on my lids too but even better, ALL work well on lips to offer a sheer but long wearing wash of color to pull it all together. Even the sheer hi-light looks great on lips to add just a little something.

Love it, lots of pigment and blends well. Stays on for long.

This blush goes on smoothly and can be worn as a lipstick. Highly recommend!

It’s a pretty color and it looks nice when I apply it but I wouldn’t purchase it again because it just doesn’t last on my face. Fades away quite quickly and it’s kind of a dry formula for me.

This goes on easily and very smoothly, excellent blending and perfect color!

I really, really love this brand and use their eyeshadow cream stick in taupe shimmer and this blush in mauve almost daily. I've purchased several times. It's easy to blend out with a brush. Not too much and not too little color. Lasts several hours, which is more than I can say for most drug store blushes. Not too sparkly but not flat. ***My issue with this brand is that the prices have gone WAY up in just a few months, from fall 2025 to spring 2026. The eyeshadow stick price has DOUBLED from my last order a few months ago, and this blush has increased almost 50%. I know, I know, inflation--yes. But this is a HUGE increase very quickly, compared to other products like it. I hope they didn't just realize they CAN sell it at this price so they will continue to. If so, I'll look for something else. Dang!

Lo uso de rubor y lipstick, lo amo, súper suave la fórmula, fácil de trabajar y lograr el acabo que deseas.

This is a great blush for mature skin, very buildable and extremely easy to use. The colours are really lovely, the mauve being a great shade for cool fair toned skin. My go to has always been Clinique chubby stick in the past, but I am now watching the pennies. Julep is a great alternative at a good price point.

This is my favourite blusher of all time! It really suits me and brightens my complexion. It has a subtle shimmer. It’s super easy to apply and lasts for ages. I use high end makeup but this is far better and far cheaper.

This highly pigmented cream blusher shows up really well on my dark brown skin. A little goes a long way and it lets all day too so it’s good value for money. I needed a dark colour to show on my skin, it’s a lovely rich creamy consistency. I apply it with my finger and l only need a little which l work onto my cheeks with my fingers. Good value.

The colour from this cream blusher is amazing. It blends in beautifully and with a little setting powder it stays fresh all day. Brilliant on the lips too. Really pleased with this product
