In the world of makeup, blush has become an essential step in every girl's routine. It's the secret weapon that can instantly lift your complexion and add a youthful glow.
Whether you're going for a subtle flush or a bold statement, blush is the perfect way to enhance your natural beauty.
With the rise of viral blush trends, we've all learned to experiment with various techniques and products to achieve that perfect flush. Celebrities like Sabrina Carpenter and Hailey Bieber have made blush their signature look, and it's no wonder why!
From liquid to cream to powder formulas, there's a blush out there for everyone. Products like Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, Pixi Beauty's On-The-Glow Blush, and NARS Afterglow Powder Blush have become staples in our makeup bags.
Blush has become such a favourite that 'blush blindless' was the latest blush related trend that took over. Stemming from 'eyebrow blindness', blush blindless refers to the inability (or perhaps the unwillingness) to notice just how much blush you've applied. At the end of the day - it's all about having fun and expressing yourself without following any rules. So, get ready to explore five trending blush techniques that will leave you feeling confident and radiant.

The Doll Face Blush trend is all about achieving a soft, doll-like appearance. Think of those perfectly rosy cheeks that look like they belong in a fairy tale. The key is to use a bright pink shade and focus on applying it directly on the apples of your cheeks, then blending it outward. This technique creates a youthful and innocent look that's perfect for everyday wear.
