Packaging
The Maybelline New York Cheeky Glow Blush comes in a compact round plastic pot, easily fitting in the palm for convenient use. The white pot features a transparent flip-top lid, allowing easy identification of the blush shade. A peel-off sticker at the back reveals the product’s ingredient list. While the packaging is compact, cute, and travel-friendly, it lacks sturdiness and requires careful handling. No brush is included, which isn’t an issue, and there’s no mirror, necessitating a separate mirror for on-the-go touch-ups.
Look And Feel
Maybelline New York Cheeky Glow Blush is a baked blush, proved by its raised dome shape. It is a finely milled product with a smooth texture that is relatively effortlessly blended. In addition, the product has a silky texture to provide uniform coverage. It also has shimmers in it, which are not at all chunky. Instead, they give a subtle satin finish.
My Take On Maybelline Cheeky Glow Blush (Creamy Cinnamon)
The shade from the Maybelline New York Cheeky Glow Blush range, which I’m reviewing in this post, is named ‘Creamy Cinnamon.’ It is a dermatologically-tested, non-comedogenic product from Blush Studio by Maybelline. The shade is a very pretty peachy-brown shade with sheer pigmentation in it. It is a universal shade that suits almost all skin tones beautifully. I have a dusky complexion, and this one works well on me as it looks natural.

Though the blush looks brown in the pan, it translates into peach with hints of brown on the cheeks. I think it is apt for beginners and pros who like to have the faintest hints of color on their cheeks. This decently pigmented product adds a mild flush to the cheeks with a beautiful satin-like sheen. Typically, 2-3 swipes are enough for my dusky complexion. However, a single swipe may also be visible on your cheeks if you have a fair complexion.
This blush’s texture and pigmentation make it a clear winner for me, and I don’t have any issues in this department. Though it is a light and muted color, it is quickly buildable. Hence, you can never go overboard with this one, which is a plus.
The blush gives a matte finish, perfect for daytime application. As said earlier, it also contains fine shimmers, which add a nice subtle glow to my cheeks. This shade of blush is great for every day as it looks completely natural. The product’s staying power is decent, considering its low price tag. It usually lasts for around 2-3 hours. A primer underneath can extend the wear time even more.
How To Use
Concentrate the color on the apples of your cheeks and blend well. Then, apply the blush along your cheekbones for instant contours.
