The beauty landscape is shifting, and blush is taking center stage. Gone are the days of blush strictly on the apples of the cheeks. This summer, it's all about embracing a more is more approach, with rosy tones adorning every inch of the face. From foreheads to under-eyes, hairlines to chins, the options are endless.
The latest trend, "blush-touring," has taken TikTok by storm, with nearly 100,000 posts racking up this month alone. It's all about contouring with pink tones from top to bottom, giving a soft wash of color and a natural flush that's perfect for summer. Celebrity makeup artist Dominique Lerma attributes the trend to the influx of underpainting application techniques using contour products under foundation.
Another revival trend, Sunset Blush, is back with a vengeance. This technique emphasizes rosy tones across the nose and under the eyes... creating a feigned sunburned appearance. With nearly 3,500 hashtags on TikTok, it's clear this trend is here to stay. For those looking for a more subtle flush, Boyfriend Blush is the way to go. Inspired by the natural glow men get after breaking a sweat, "this technique involves dusting powder on the lower quadrant of the cheek." With over 1. 5 million views on viral Reels, "it's clear this trend is a crowd-pleaser." For those looking to get on board with these trends, EveryDay Editors has curated a list of editor- and celebrity-loved favorite blushes to help achieve these looks.

"Boyfriend Blush" is a popular application technique that involves dusting powder on the lower quadrant of the cheek, inspired by the natural glow men get after breaking a sweat.
Boyfriend Blush" is a popular application technique that involves dusting powder on the lower quadrant of the cheek, inspired by the natural glow men get after breaking a sweat. This subtle yet flattering technique is gaining popularity among beauty enthusiasts, and for good reason. The soft, gentle flush that "Boyfriend Blush" creates adds a touch of warmth and dimension to the face, making it perfect for everyday wear.
The idea behind "Boyfield Blush" may seem unconventional at first, but it's actually rooted in a clever observation. Makeup artist Dominique Lerma notes that men often develop a natural flush on their cheeks after exercising, which is not only adorable but also visually appealing. Building on this concept, "Boyfriend Blush" aims to capture that same effortless, sun-kissed glow on the cheek.
To achieve this look... start by applying a light dusting of powder to the lower quadrant of the cheek, just below the eyebrow. Use a light hand when applying the product, as too much can look heavy and obvious. Instead, aim for a subtle, diffused effect that blends seamlessly into the surrounding skin. One of the key benefits of "Boyfriend Blush" is its ability to enhance the overall natural contours of the face.
By applying the product in a targeted area, you can create the illusion of a longer... more defined cheekbone. This not only adds visual interest to the face but also helps to balance out the features. While "Boyfriend Blush" may not be the most dramatic or attention-grabbing makeup trend, "it's a testament to the power of subtlety." By embracing a more understated approach to makeup, "you can achieve a look that's both elegant and effortless."
A beauty guideline as old as time says blush belongs on the apples of your cheeks. But this summer's blush trends prioritize rosy tones on every other square inch of the face, from foreheads and under-eyes to hairlines and even the chin.
