- 5 min reading time
The queen of the blush has probably already appeared on your Tiktok feed, of course, we're talking about Sabrina Carpenter. Her blush look is delightfully pink and Glowy. Something we all naturally want. And guess what….. Sabrina's makeup artist has revealed the secret behind the products used for this ultimate blush/highlight effect.
What is Sabrina Carpenter’s blush secret?
The secret is a liquid bright pink blush combined with a powder blush, and we've gathered the Perfecte products for this, namely the MAC Cosmetics Cheeky Bits Extra DimenSion Blush and the Benefit Playtint Lip & Cheek Satin Pink Lemonade for the ultra Glowy effect in the look. Sabrina Carpenter doesn’t use highlighter; instead, she uses two different kinds of blushes.
Which undertone suits your skin best?
Every skin tone suits a different blush. When choosing a blush, it’s important to look at which colour best matches your undertone. So we’ve summarised it for you:
- For light skin tones, soft pink and peach shades work best to avoid strong contrasts. A good option can be the MAC Cosmetics Powder Blush - Mocha .
- For medium skin tones, it’s nice to use bolder colours to keep the contrast. Warm pink, peach and coral shades work well. For example, check out the MAC Cosmetics Flirting with Danger Mineralize Matte Blush and MAC Cosmetics Love Me Mineralize Matte Blush
- Warm peach and bronze tones suit olive skin well. For example, try the MAC Cosmetics Powder Blush - Harmony Matte
- For darker skin tones, stronger colours make the blush stand out nicely, such as deep fuchSia, cherry red and brown shades with red undertones. We have, for example, these lovely liquid blushes Max Factor Miracle Sheer Gel Blush and the Benefit Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain Rose.
Which type of blush suits my skin type best?
Different skin types suit different blush textures. There are powder blushes and cream blushes. Powder blushes give a Matte blush effect, often with a nice shine. Cream blushes immediately add a Glow glow to your look. Let’s see what suits your skin type best and let’s shine!
For example, for oily skin, a Matte blush works best; this blush absorbs oil and adds a Matte finish to your look.
For dry skin, a liquid blush is best as it provides extra hydration and gives your skin a natural glow.
If you have normal/combination skin, both cream and powder blushes suit you. Cream blushes will add a Glow effect to your look.
For sensitive skin it’s important to check the ingredients and choose hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formulas.
How do you apply blush for different face shapes?
First, it’s useful to know your face shape. Each face shape suits a different Man application method for the best blush effect. You can see the face shapes in the image at the bottom of the page.
- Oval face: apply the product on the apples of your cheeks and blend towards your temples. The apples of your cheeks are the highest point of your cheeks when you smile. This creates a fresh, youthful look.
- Round face: apply blush slightly higher on your cheekbones and blend diagonally upwards towards the temples. This lifts and slims the face.
- Square face: focus on the apples of your cheeks and blend the blush towards your ears to soften the angles and draw attention to the centre.
- Long face: apply the blush horizontally to make the face appear wider. This visually broadens the face.
- Heart-shaped face: apply blush on the lower part of the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards to your ears. This broadens the upper part of the face and Balances the sharpness of the chin.
How do I make my blush last longer?
It’s important to build the colour gently. Layering is easier since too much blush is difficult to fix. This also helps your blush last longer, as several thin layers last longer than one thick layer.
Using a primer helps the blush adhere better to your skin. Then finish your makeup look with a setting Spray designed to keep makeup in place long-term, and your blush will stay put all day!
