W Blush Hack

There are so many blushes placement circulating around the internet, but recently I discovered a new blush hack that is perfect for summer! 🥰 Meet, W blush: the easy way to pull off summer's sunburnt beauty look (without ever having to get sunburnt.)

The method involves drawing a W shape across your nose bridge to connect both cheeks. Drag your blush of choice down to the apple of your cheeks, sweep it up to your the middle of your nose where the sun would naturally hit, and repeat it on the other side.

While you can incorporate W blush into any sort of look, the trend is best suited for the no-makeup makeup look. Any type of formula (powder included!) works with the trend, but I prefer liquid and cream formulas due to their buildable coverage. It all depends on the type of makeup I'm trying to create, but if it's a glowy makeup, I always start with great luminous base and either mix it with a cream blush or blend the blush on top using a damp BeautyBlender. It gives a beautiful youthful finish we are all looking for. For a more matte application or for oily skin, I'll use a powder blush and top the cheekbones and bridge of the nose with a subtle highlighter.
