Are you a beauty enthusiast like us? Then you’re probably loving the blush-heavy looks that are dominating the spring beauty scene. But wait, TikTok has unveiled a new trend that’s taking blush to a whole new level: boyfriend blush. Inspired by the natural flush of youthful boys, this technique is all about creating a wider, more generous blush application. Forget the traditional apples-of-the-cheeks approach; with boyfriend blush, we’re extending the color across the cheeks and down towards the chin, reminiscent of those charming flushes you’d see on a young Prince William or a 90s Abercrombie model. Dive into this 90s-inspired trend with us as we explore the details and tips to master the boyfriend blush look.
For the boyfriend blush trend, it’s best to pair it with natural makeup. Begin by prepping and priming your skin with a hydrating cream like the Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base, which serves as both a primer and moisturizer. Next, use a lightweight foundation serum or tinted moisturizer for a natural-looking base. Spot conceal any blemishes or imperfections as needed.
Both powder and liquid blush formulas work for this trend. If you prefer a softer, more angelic look, opt for a powder blush. However, if you want your boyfriend blush to make a statement, choose a liquid blush followed by a powder blush to intensify the color. Apply the blush in a triangular shape, blending well for a seamless finish.
The boyfriend blush trend is a great way to add a bit more color and warmth to your complexion.
