Are you ready to shake up your makeup routine with some cutting-edge blush trends for 2025? Applying blush is an art that accentuates your natural beauty, and with these fresh techniques and trends, you’ll be able to master the perfect flush. Whether you’re aiming for a bold or subtle look, or one that says “I just got home from two weeks in Fiji”, we’ll share how you can apply your blush to achieve a flawless finish every time that feels as good as it looks.   2025 Blush Trends to Try 1. Sunlit Glow: For a radiant, natural glow, apply your blush not just to your cheeks but across the bridge of your nose and lightly on your forehead, too. This technique creates a beautiful, sun-kissed effect that looks effortlessly fresh. 2. Colour Layering: Get creative with multiple blush shades to enhance your facial features. Start with a lighter shade on the apples of your cheeks and layer a deeper tone along your cheekbones. This not only adds depth but also helps sculpt your face subtly. Want more sparkle? Add a hint of highlighter to the tops of your cheeks, or try the “glazed donut” application, where you apply a spot of liquid blush into a dab of liquid highlighter – and blend! 3. Textural Contrasts: Combine different blush textures for a unique look. Use a matte formula on the cheeks for a soft, velvety effect, then add a touch of shimmer on the high points like the cheekbones and brow bones to catch the light beautifully.   How to Perfectly Apply Each Type of Blush Cream Blush: Start with a small amount on your fingertip or a stippling brush and apply to the apples of your cheeks. Blend outwards towards your hairline for a soft, diffused look. Cream blush is perfect for dry skin types and gives a dewy finish. Powder Blush: Using a fluffy blush brush, sweep the blush from just above the apple of your cheek toward your ear in a diagonal line. This helps lift the appearance of your face. Powder blush is great for oily skin types and provides a more matte finish. Liquid Blush: Dot a small amount on the cheeks and use your fingers or a damp beauty sponge to tap it into the skin. Liquid blushes are fantastic for achieving a buildable, natural-looking colour that really melds with your skin.   Blush Placement Tips Blush can be more versatile than you might think: For a lifted effect, apply the blush on the cheekbones and blend towards the temples. For a classic or “boyfriend” flush (a la Sabrina Carpenter), apply to the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards towards the hairline. Adding a small amount of blush on the nose can create a sun-kissed and youthful look.   Blush Products We Are Loving At the Moment Merit Flush Balm: Infused with microfine pigment powders, Merit’s Flush Balm provides just the right touch of colour while preserving your natural skin texture. Its lightweight, buildable formula ensures a long-lasting glow without feeling heavy or cakey. Additionally, it’s Vegan, free from acne-triggering ingredients and enriched with Vitamin E to condition the skin, making it a stellar choice for a fresh, dewy look. Saie Dew Blush: Loved by celebs and influencers alike for achieving a dewy, glowing finish. Saie’s Dew Blush liquid formula has a moisturising, glossy type texture to it, meaning it is easy to work with and blends seamlessly into the skin. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush: This blush beautifully combines the effects of ambient lighting powder with vibrant pigments, providing a multi-dimensional colour that imitates a natural glow. The unique blend of handmade powders in each Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush compact offers warmth and complexity, enhancing any makeup look.   Ready to Get Cheeky with Twidale? There you have it!
