Name: Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
Brand: Patrick Ta

Question 1

Is e.l.f. Putty Blush as good as Patrick Ta?

Accepted Answer

According to Viktoria @vioda.makeup, For the cream blush component, yes — the formula is blendable, buildable, and gives a natural flush that's very close to Patrick Ta's cream side. The main difference is that Patrick Ta includes a matching powder side for layering, which you'd need to buy separately with e.l.f.

Question 2

How do I recreate the Patrick Ta blush technique cheaply?

Accepted Answer

According to Viktoria @vioda.makeup, Apply e.l.f. Putty Blush as the cream base, let it set for a minute, then press Milani Baked Blush in a similar shade on top. This cream-under-powder technique is exactly what Patrick Ta designed the duo for — you're just using two separate products.

Question 3

Does layering cream and powder blush really make it last longer?

Accepted Answer

According to Viktoria @vioda.makeup, Yes, significantly. Cream blush alone fades in 4-6 hours. The cream-then-powder technique extends wear to 8+ hours because the powder locks the cream in place while the cream prevents the powder from looking flat. It's a professional technique for a reason.
