Definitely cream blush. It also takes a longer time to use an eyelash curler than to put on blush 😊 

[heartsmyface]

@TeamBIC  Cream blush for sure!!! I don’t need curled lashes but I need my pigment!    

[OliviaRod4ever]

I feel like it should be cream blush cause like sometime you gotta look pink and there is different varieties of the cream blushes

[itsfi]

I missed the cut off for voting, but my stick straight lashes would have been all for the eyelash curler @TeamBIC! 

[heartsmyface]

@itsfi  I missed it too but also had to answer.  My lashes are also naturally straight and also slightly downturned to boot.  I still chose blush cause without it I feel i look sick.😅

[itsfi]

@heartsmyface, I don't think you look sick without blush, but I also know that you make every blush you wear look phenomenal! I'm just starting to (slowly) get back into blush again, so for me, lipstick as blush works out well at the moment, becuase, ummmm, I have a few lipsticks to choose from for that. 🤣

Shiseido Eyelash Curler Eyelash Curler  you can look awake by just curling your lashes

• ROUND 6 (4/5 – 4/11): Cream Blush vs. Eyelash Curler

eyelash curler.  I could always use lipstick as blush. 

[heartsmyface]

@SportyGirly125  Oh I never thought of multipurposinh another time when I answered!  Lipstick mixed with a little foundation or primer would work so well!

Cream blush all the way! I love eyelash Curler but there are mascara that curl your lashes so don’t really need them 

btw love love love the ILIA Multi-Stick Cream Blush + Highlighter + Lip Tint  and the MILK MAKEUP Lip + Cheek Non-Comedogenic Cream Blush Stick Swerve  

[katebeautyrevie]

Eyelash curler cuz I don’t really like to wear mascara. Cream blush is fun to use, but when jelly blush, powder blush, stick blush, liquid blush, and blush lighter all exist I’ll have to go with my tried and true eyelash curler.

[ather]

I will have to go with cream blush on this one!! My fav is Tower 28 Beauty BeachPlease Lip + Cheek Dewy Cream Blush Magic Hour #
