Cream blushes have been a staple in my makeup routine for a while, and I recently decided to put two fan-favorites head-to-head: ILIA's At Last and Milk Makeup's Werk.
After using more than a full tube of each, I'm sharing how they stack up in terms of blendability, price, and shade!

1. ILIA At Last

This blush comes in a cute mini size, which is great for trying it out or traveling. The shade leans cooler, so it requires a bit of working in to blend seamlessly on the skin. While the product is long-lasting, the amount you get doesn't feel like the best value for the price, especially at $36.

2. Milk Makeup Werk

Milk's blush feels incredibly creamy and blends effortlessly, making application quick and smooth. You also get more product compared to ILIA, and the price point is much friendlier. The shade is slightly warmer, which suits warm-neutral skin tones beautifully, and the difference in color between the two brands is subtle.

3. Blendability, Shade, and Value

When it comes to ease of blending, Milk takes the lead. Both offer lovely shades, but Milk's warmth gives it a slight edge for everyday wear. In terms of value, Milk also wins with more product for less money, making it a practical yet high-quality option.
After testing both, Milk Makeup's Werk emerges as the winner. It's creamy, blendable, and offers better value for the price. ILIA's At Last is still a great option for those who prefer cooler tones or want a mini size, but for everyday use and versatility, Milk stands out!
