Boyfriend blush. A daring makeup trend that will make you blush is gaining popularity on TikTok

Boyfriend blush is a new makeup trend from TikTok for which you don't necessarily need a boyfriend. Its name refers to the technique of applying the product.

If makeup artists usually recommend applying pink pigment above the cheekbone line, blending it from the bottom up, the new trend has become an exception to the rule. Boyfriend blush is a way of applying blush directly to the apples of your cheeks, as if this makeup element was inspired by your shy boyfriend, writes Women. The trend creates a more natural effect, so it's perfect for beauties who appreciate naturalness.

How to apply boyfriend blush

How you should apply boyfriend blush depends on your face shape. Makeup artist Mallory Osses shared some tips for each type:

• For an oval face, she recommended applying blush a little lower than usual. Instead of applying the product high up, almost under the eyes, Osses placed it just below the apple of the cheek and blended it outward to make the features more rounded.

• For those with a heart-shaped face, the blogger recommended not to spare blush in the area from the jawline to the cheekbones, creating a conditional triangle directed towards the nose. This will help to emphasize the cheekbones while creating a flushed and rounded effect.

• The trend is most suitable for beauties with a round face shape. The influencer recommends applying blush to the lower part of the cheeks so that it almost matches the jawline. Blend the product on the cheeks, pulling it to the temples and chin.

What color of blush to choose

The pigment color can be selected by determining your skin tone. As a general rule, cool shades are best for people with a cool undertone, while warm shades are best for people with a warm undertone. If you have a neutral skin tone, you can safely mix colors.

However, orange blush is the most versatile for any skin tone. Focus on classic pink and coral tones or go for brown shades. Similarly, the depth of the shade you choose can also affect the overall look. If you want to maximize the effect of your boyfriend's blush, choose a deeper tone as it will make your makeup more noticeable.
