Summertime has always had a way of bringing about some of the most playful . As we all dream of upcoming on tropical beaches, afternoons spent poolside, and long sunny days that bleed into warm, adventurous nights, TikTok is filled with beauty inspiration to kickoff the summer. This year, blush is the season’s hottest topic. With trends ranging from vibrant ombré finishes that mimic the sun’s golden rays to nostalgic looks that take on a whole new form, this one step in your makeup routine can make all the difference. We tapped makeup artist and member Chloe Baltimore to teach you how to flawlessly apply the best blush trends of the season.
Sunset Blush
One could argue that there are few things in the world more beautiful than a sunset. Vibrant yellow and orange hues cascade into a sea of pink atop the most mesmerizing canvas, creating a scene so alluring it’s hard to pull your eyes away. I’m not talking about the sunset in the sky; I’m talking about the sunset on your face.
Sunset blush is a viral trend of mixing orange and pink to mimic the look of a sunset. While the finished look may seem difficult to accomplish, sunset blush is surprisingly easy to achieve. “Start by applying a deep, pink blush to the temples and the highest points of the cheeks, then layer on an orange blush onto the apples of the cheeks, ensuring it seamlessly blends into the pink shade,” says Baltimore. “To enhance the luminosity of the look, finish off with a touch of gold highlighter at the highest point of the cheek, ideally where the two blush shades meet.” But the secret to a flawless finish is the application. Whether you prefer to use a or a sponge to apply your blush, getting a seamless blend is the key to achieving the ombré look.
The original creator, Alissa Janay, whose video has amassed over eight million views and one million likes on TikTok, starts by dotting the liquid blush directly onto her face and then blending out the product with a blush. While this is a great option, other techniques may be better for makeup novices who are looking to get similar results. Baltimore suggests “tapping the product onto a brush and stippling it onto the face” as an alternative. “This technique grants enhanced control over coverage, precise placement, and seamless blending, ensuring a flawless outcome,” she says.
Beyond the different techniques that you can use, there are many reasons why sunset blush is all over our TikTok “For You” page. This trend follows a long line of recent that center when it comes to makeup, and blush plays an integral part in how we can experiment. “Throughout my beauty journey, I’ve encountered a myriad of products, from intensely pigmented formulas to effortlessly blendable textures. However, my favorite blushes seamlessly combine both qualities, ensuring a flawless application every time,” says Baltimore.
