The spring/summer 2025 fashion shows whispered a secret: blush is back. But this time, it’s not your typical rosy hue. Purple has taken the spotlight, gracing the under-eye areas at 3.1. Phillip Lim and adorning the lips at Romy Soleimani and Carolina Herrera. This vibrant shade is even making waves in the celebrity world, with stars like Rihanna, Olivia Munn, and IVE’s Jang Won Young sporting it on their cheeks.
This surge in popularity begs the question: is purple blush universally flattering? Thankfully, the answer is yes! There’s a perfect shade of purple for everyone, with deeper complexions finding their match in bold, rich hues. Those with lighter complexions can embrace softer, lilac shades or opt for a shimmery finish for a delicate glow. After all, a touch of glitter removes any doubt about whether it’s blush or a bruise.
