and seasonal color palette…
Blush is the finishing touch that brings your look to life, making your skin glow and your eyes sparkle. And I know I’m not wrong when I say it’s many people’s favorite part of applying makeup.
Choosing the right shade of blush can play a significant role in making your makeup look as flattering as possible and feel completely harmonious with your facial features.
Sometimes it’s difficult to choose the best blush shade for you, and that’s precisely why we decided to delve into the world of makeup to help you choose more easily, ensuring you feel beautiful and confident in your makeup.
This time, the Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Cream and Powder Blush Duos were our chosen product! With their buildable formulas and radiant finishes, they have become a super popular and useful product, both for makeup artists and professionals, as well as for those of us who love to do our makeup at home.
But here’s the secret: not all blushes work the same for everyone. Depending on your seasonal color palette and your style essence, some shades will make you feel more “you” than others. So imagine finding the blush that not only flatters your skin tone but also expresses your style, whether with romantic softness, dramatic intensity, or a natural glow.
So take note and get ready to see makeup from a new perspective. In this post, we’ll pair Patrick Ta blush duos with each essence and seasonal color so you can discover the one that feels right for you!
Why do we love this blush?
When it comes to blush, versatility is everything, don’t you think? And that’s precisely what makes Patrick Ta Major Headlines’ Double-Take Cream and Powder Blush Duos so unique. This product has two formulas: it includes a hydrating cream blush and a silky matte powder, which expands our options when creating our looks.
Another reason these blushes particularly caught our attention is that they flatter any skin tone and complexion, whether you’re a deep autumn, a bright spring, or anything in between. We have a wide range of shades to choose from, whether muted rose or vibrant coral, so you must be sure that you will find the ideal one for you here.
And of course, maybe the colors are right for you, but what about the overall vibe of your look? How do certain finishes make you bloom? How do they make your eyes sparkle under the light? How can a blush make you look more youthful, more elegant, or even more alluring?
You might be surprised by how much we can play with these aspects to elevate our look and feel even more beautiful. And to achieve this, we turn to Kitchener’s 7 Style Essences; this system helps us understand the aesthetics and vibes that resonate with our natural presence and our facial features.
If you’ve never heard of this before, it’s the perfect time to start exploring your style.
So tell us, which essence do you identify with the most?
- Dramatic: This essence is bold, striking, and high-contrast, with a touch of intensity that always commands attention.
- Gamine: The most playful and quirky; full of pops of color, fun, and energy.
- Natural: As you can imagine, it is relaxed, effortless, and earthy.
- Classic: This essence is the most timeless and refined.
- Romantic: It is soft, sensual, and feminine; it is a deep and elegant essence.
- Ingenue: As its name says, it is youthful, sweet, and delicate.
- Angelic: Ethereal, dreamy, and otherworldly.
Do you know which one is yours? If you want to be absolutely sure, you can take our quiz!
So let’s continue. I think you can get an idea of how important it is to connect our makeup choices (like the finish of a blush) with our essence, so that the result feels more authentic and makes our beauty radiate.
The Blush For every Essence
Now, as we mentioned before, this blush comes in two finishes: MATTE and SATIN, and each compact includes both a cream and a powder formula. The beauty of this product is that you can customize your look depending on your essence and the vibe you want to project. These are some of our suggestions so that each essence gets the most out of this blush:
- Dramatic Essence: Your style needs intensity and presence, so you can play with both MATTE and SATIN finishes. Combining cream and powder gives you depth and dimension; you can experiment with application and find the combination that suits you best.
- Gamine Essence: You look amazing with fun and energetic makeup, so mixing the cream and powder versions (either more matte or more satin) will give you that vibrant touch of color that perfectly suits your personality.
- Natural Essence: Effortless beauty is your hallmark. So a soft and simple look is best achieved with the powder version of the blush, which blends seamlessly into the skin and achieves a healthy-looking, bronzed effect.
- Classic Essence: Your elegance will stand out with subtlety. A more refined and polished approach works best for you, so opt for the powder version of the duo for a more timeless finish. When creating your makeup, think about creating delicate definition that enhances without overwhelming.
- Romantic Essence: Softness and charm are your strong points. Both the MATTE and SATIN options look great on you: the creams enhance a delicate, feminine glow, while the powders lean toward a more mature and elegant tone. You can switch it up depending on your mood or your outfit.
- Ingenue Essence: Youthful and fresh, the little sister of the 7 essences. Ingenue blooms with radiant, dewy finishes, so cream blush is your best ally, giving you a soft, lit-from-within glow that enhances your innocent, glowing features.
- Angelic Essence: Ethereal and otherworldly, you’ll look magical if you focus on luminosity. The cream, especially the SATIN version of this product, brings out that shimmering halo effect that enhances your look.
These tips will undoubtedly help make your makeup more personalized and flattering. Now you know that regardless of your style, Patrick Ta Blush Duos allow you to adapt and experiment.
Now that we know the best formula for your essence, we can move on to the next step…
The Perfect Shade
We agree that blush can make you look fresher, more romantic, or more sophisticated. And when you align it with your seasonal color palette, the effect is even more powerful.
Seasonal color palettes are a system that classifies colors according to their temperature (warm or cool), their intensity (bright or soft), and their depth (light or dark). By knowing your personal palette (whether you’re a Bright Spring, a Soft Summer, or a Dark Autumn), for example, you can identify which blush shades naturally harmonize with your skin tone, making your complexion look fresher, more balanced, and more luminous. Instead of getting lost among dozens of options, knowing your season helps you choose the blush that truly highlights your unique beauty, avoiding those that can dull or harden your features.
So if you don’t know your season yet, we have a fun quiz for you to find out. And if you already know your season, it’s time to discover your ideal shades of Patrick Ta Creme & Powder Blush Duos.

Final Blush-Tips
The magic of these blush duos is that they allow you to play with dimension and texture. For example, you can apply the cream first for a natural, dewy effect and then set it with the powder to make your blush last longer. But you could also try the opposite or create your own combination with your essence in mind.
- To give you a clearer idea, if you’re Dramatic, you can place the blush higher on your cheekbones to make your makeup look more sculpted and sophisticated.
- If you’re Gamine, you can place the blush higher on your cheekbones or even on your nose for a playful look.
- Naturals can apply the blush by blending it toward the temples for a more effortless finish.
- If your main essence is Classic, aim for a balanced blend, right on the apple of your cheek and slightly outward.
- Apply to the center of your cheeks with soft touches, almost like a natural blush if your essence is Ingenue.
- For the Romantic essence, blend in wider circles for a flushed, feminine effect.
- And finally, Angelic can apply blush lightly, with an ethereal finish that almost looks like a halo of color.
Remember that these are tips you can try and are highly likely to work for you, but these aren’t strict rules, since at the end of the day, makeup is a matter of taste, of knowing our features and ourselves to develop our style.
So, in the end, choosing your blush can influence your look more than you thought, right? It’s a very subtle but beautiful way to reflect our essence. Each seasonal palette has its perfect allies within this collection, and the best part is that you can adapt the finish to your mood, balancing the cream and the powder.
