Forget the old rule of applying blush high on the cheekbones. TikTok’s latest makeup trend, ‘boyfriend blush,’ involves placing the color lower down on the cheeks, mimicking the natural flush of skin after a workout. This easy technique makes skin look youthful, outdoorsy, and flattering on everyone. According to makeup artist Taylor, the key to making boyfriend blush work lies in the formulas used. Cream blushes are easier to blend and create a realistic look, while sheer powder formulas can also be effective. Avoid anything too shimmery or glittery, and opt for a wash of color that appears believable. Some recommended products include It Cosmetics Sun Blush, Pixi’s On The Glow Blush, and Makeup by Mario’s Soft Pop Plumping Blush Veil.
