The queen of the blush you have probably already seen on TikTok, we are of course talking about Sabrina Carpenter. Her blush look is nicely pink and glowy. Something we all really want. And guess what….. Sabrina’s makeup artist has revealed the secret of 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; of course, we have gathered the perfect 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 on the look. Sabrina Carpenter does not use highlighter, but instead two different kinds of blushes.

Which undertone suits your skin color best?

For every skin color, a different blush is suitable. When buying a blush it is very important to look at which color suits your undertone best. That is why we have listed this for you:

 

• For a light skin tone, a soft pink shade and peach color are suitable; to avoid harsh contrasts, this is the best choice. A good option could be, for example, the MAC Cosmetics Powder Blush - Mocha are.
• For a medium skin tone, it is nice to use brighter colors to maintain that contrast. Colors that suit well here are warm pink tones, peach, and coral colors. Take a look, for example, at the MAC Cosmetics Flirting with Danger Mineralize Matte Blush and MAC Cosmetics Love Me Mineralize Matte Blush
• Warm peach and bronze tones suit an olive skin tone well. As an example, we have MAC Cosmetics Powder Blush - Harmony Matte
• For darker skin tones, it is beautiful to use a stronger color so the blush really stands out, think of a deep fuchsia color, cherry red, and brown tones with a red undertone. For this, we have, for example, these beautiful liquid blushes Max Factor Miracle Sheer Gel Blush and the Benefit Benetint Lip & Cheek Stain Rose.

 

What kind of blush suits my skin type best?

For every skin type, a different texture of blush is suitable. There are powder blushes and cream blushes. Powder blushes give a matte blush effect, although a nice shine can be present. Cream blushes immediately add a glow to the look. Let's see what suits your skin type best and let’s shine!

For example, for a oily skin a matte blush is the most suitable, this blush absorbs oil and gives a matte finish to the look.

For a dry skin a liquid blush is the most suitable, because it provides extra hydration and gives the skin a natural glow. 

Do you have a normal/combination skin? Then both cream blushes and powder blushes suit your skin. The cream blush does give a glow effect to your look.

For a sensitive skin it is very important to look at the ingredients of the product and choose a hypoallergenic and fragrance-free formula.

 

How do you apply blush for different face shapes?

First of all, it’s helpful to know what face shape you actually have. For each face shape, a different application method works best to achieve the optimal blush result. You can find the types of face shapes in the image at the bottom of the page.

• Oval face, apply the product on the apples of your cheeks and blend it towards your temple. The apples of your cheeks are the highest point of your cheeks when you smile. This gives a fresh, youthful look.
• Round face, apply the blush a bit higher on the cheekbones and blend it diagonally upwards towards the temple. This creates a lifting effect, making the face appear less round.
• Square face, with this face shape, focus on the apples of the cheeks and blend the blush towards your ears; this softens the angles of the face and draws attention to the center.
• Long face, apply the blush horizontally on the face to make the face appear wider. This helps visually broaden the face.
• Heart-shaped face, for a heart-shaped face, apply the blush at the bottom of the apples of your cheeks and then blend it out towards your ears. This creates a wider upper part of the face and balances the sharpness of the chin.

 

How do I make sure my blush lasts long?

It is very important to build up the color gently; it’s easier to work in layers because too much blush is hard to correct. This also ensures the blush lasts longer, as multiple thin layers stay put better than onea thick layer. 

The use of a primer helps the blush adhere better to the skin and then finishes off the makeup look with a setting spray which is specially developed to make makeup last longer, it can’t go anywhere, so your blush will stay all day!!
