Being a cream formula, it tends to attract dust. Without a built-in puff, it's challenging to touch up when you're out and about.

It's a soft and bright lavender cheek color that's perfect for cool skin tones. The vibrant and pretty shade complements fair complexions beautifully.

다우니 치크 1 [04 다우니라벤더]

It can look a bit patchy when your skin is dry, though that's probably true for most products like this.

The color is absolutely stunning - a slightly cool-toned pink with a subtle beam effect. It's a cream formula that applies beautifully when you pat it on.

Melt the product with your fingertip and gently pat it onto desired areas for a natural flush!

The colors might be challenging to pull off unless you have a cool summer complexion. Being a balm formula, it's unfortunately prone to attracting dust.

Texture 💖
It's a solid balm-type blush! The formula melts easily with just your fingertip warmth, creating a beautifully soft texture.

Application 💖
I've only ever used powder blushes before, so I was worried about blending this evenly. But those concerns vanished! The lightweight, creamy formula applies so smoothly and effortlessly. It has a velvety feel when you put it on.

Pigmentation 💖
The color payoff isn't super intense, which I actually prefer. As someone who likes a softer, more natural flush, this subtle pigmentation is perfect for everyday wear.

Personal Color 💖
I swatched both shades on deep undertone muted and cool summer skin tones. Shade 3 seems versatile enough for both autumn warm and deep undertone complexions. I was initially concerned shade 4 might be too purple, but once applied, it's a delicate hue that complements cool summer skin beautifully.

Scent 💖
It's fragrance-free, so you can apply it worry-free!

One downside, which is common to all cream blushes, not just this one, is that it attracts dust like crazy (you can even see the dust particles in the photo I took...). No matter how much you try to clean it, dust keeps sticking to it. Also, the size is a bit awkward - it's small and elongated, making it tricky to apply with fingers and slightly inconvenient to use with a puff.

This is my absolute favorite cream blush! With the ongoing pandemic, I found that powder blushes would cake up under my mask and become a mess. Cream blushes, on the other hand, are less drying and don't cake as much, making touch-ups easier. That's why I've been loving cream blushes, and the BBIA Downy Lavender is hands down the best. The color payoff is fantastic, and it applies smoothly in a light, thin layer. The staying power is also quite good for a cream blush.

If you find the staying power too short, try using Downy Lavender as a base and lightly setting it with a sheer powder blush on top - it's absolutely stunning. This shade is just perfect for light undertones.

The downside is its longevity. While the way the lavender color blends into the skin for a natural look is a plus, it's also a bit of a drawback. After a few hours, it fades so naturally that it practically disappears. Unlike powder blushes that I never need to touch up, when I use this alone, I always carry it for reapplication during the day. Also, because of its short wear time, you go through the product quite quickly. If it were just 4000 or 5000 won, I'd confidently replace it monthly, but at its current price point, that's a bit tough.

This shade will beautifully complement those with fair skin tones. I have a light to medium undertone that can work with shades 13-17, and even though I'm not a strong cool tone, this blush might appear a bit stark when first applied to the cheeks! Initially, there's a strong lavender tint that seems to sit on top of the skin. However, the magic of this blush is that after just 5 minutes, it melds into your skin, looking as natural as your own flush! The intense lavender fades, leaving behind a soft, milky pink. Some cream blushes can disturb your base makeup, but this one applies smoothly over even dewy foundations without any lifting. You can easily pat it on with your fingers, no brush or sponge needed, making it perfect for on-the-go touch-ups. It's become my winter holy grail blush, following Ballerina Pop - I'm already on my second tube! On days when my skin looks dull and I need a brightness boost, I use this as a base layer under other blushers. If you have dry skin and a similar light undertone, I highly recommend this hydrating blush formula!

It tends to transfer onto my hands when applying, and I'm a bit concerned about the ingredients. Not sure if it'll be good for me.

It's beautifully light and I love the natural color payoff. I'd moderately recommend it.

I highly recommend true cool and winter cool-toned folks to give this a try for its affordable price. The color is exactly as shown in the photo.

The case is so delicate that if you drop it once, the hinge area breaks... I guess we can't expect too much for such an affordable price. Considering the quality of ingredients at this price point, it's still excellent, Pia!

Looking at it now, the ingredients are quite gentle! Pia... you're the best! Anyway, it's a cool-toned blush with a cream formula, and it's a Barbie doll pink-lavender shade that only true cool-toned beauties would dare to try! It might cling a bit to facial peach fuzz, but if you apply it thinly, it looks gorgeous.

As expected with cream blushes, the staying power is a bit disappointing. It also tends to transfer onto masks more than powder blushes do.

I've always felt awkward about cream blushes and stuck to powder types, but I decided to give this a try since it's both convenient and affordable. The best part is how incredibly easy it is to apply - you can just use your fingers to gently pat and blend it onto your skin without any other tools. It's so convenient! If using your hands feels unhygienic, you can always apply it with a wedge sponge or beauty blender. I was worried the color in the container looked too intense, but once applied, it gives the most beautiful soft pink flush. It would be perfect for light summer cool tones. With its pretty color and effortless application, this has become my go-to blush lately when I can't decide what to wear.

It pairs really well with moisturizing sunscreens.

The staying power could be better. Also, the packaging looks a bit cheap. I think they should consider redesigning the case to give it a more premium feel.

It's so hard to find a good cool-toned cream blush, but I'm thrilled that BBIA keeps their Downy Lavender in stock. As someone who prefers a dewy makeup look, I'm partial to cream blushers. This one creates a beautiful watercolor-like effect, giving my cheeks a soft pink glow.

The fact that you need to apply it with your fingers is a bit of a drawback. Since using your hands might not be the most hygienic option for your skin, I'd recommend using a separate puff instead!

I'm so thrilled to have found a blusher with this exact effect I've been searching for! It gives that soft, baby-like skin appearance, and it's perfect for creating adorable makeup looks.

When applying this product, I like to gently pat it onto my cheeks with my fingers to build up the color, then finish with a powder blush. This technique helps it last longer and prevents any patchiness - it works wonders!

Due to its creamy texture, this might be a bit too dewy for those with oily skin.

I bought this cream blush after using a lavender powder blush, as my skin was getting too dry in winter. It's affordable, and while it looks like strawberry milk pink in the container, it's absolutely gorgeous on the skin! Though the cream formula doesn't last as long on its own, I found that lightly dusting my lavender powder blush on top really helps with longevity. In my experience, the color seems to last longer than when I use just powder blush alone.

In terms of color, it falls between A'pieu and Shu Uemura (somewhere between strawberry milk and a bright lavender with lots of white). It's right in the middle of these two! The texture is much lighter than Skinfood's cream cheek. While Skinfood's can be a bit sticky and hard to blend, this one feels light and spreads effortlessly!

Since it's a cream blush, it might fade quickly on oily skin types due to excess sebum.

Absolutely fantastic for cool-toned skin! If you're into collecting light purple blushers, this one's a gem. It's similar in color to Shu Uemura's light purple blusher, but with a more hydrating feel. It's a pale lavender shade with a lot of white mixed in. Unlike Shu Uemura's, which has little pink, this one has a touch of pink to it. It's like A'pieu's light purple blusher with a hint of strawberry milk pink. The application is super smooth, and it's easy to build up the color. (It has a slight fluorescent glow, similar to Skinfood's Strawberry Cream Cheek!) It's perfect if it matches your skin tone, and I think it would suit lighter complexions better than darker ones. For reference, my skin tone is around a 17 in Korean foundation shades.
