Tik Toker @alissajanay inspires the world with Sunset Blush
The feeling of warmth embraces me as I stand on this dazzling beach alongside my dear friend. My toes sink deep into the soft sand, each grain slipping through them like silk. The breeze is just right, carrying the crisp, invigorating smell of salt through the air. I lock eyes with the most magical hues of rich reds, warm oranges, and glowing yellows, each color perfectly blending into the next. The colors seem to shimmer, glittering with beauty. I’m in heaven. I reach out, yearning to touch the pure magic in front of me. My hand barely grazes the air before- swat! “Hey, don’t touch my blush!” my friend laughs, pulling me back to reality. It’s then I realize—the breathtaking display wasn’t the sunset, but the radiant glow of my friend’s sunset blush!
This summer, blush is having its moment in the spotlight, transforming from a mere accent to the ultimate accessory for that coveted sun-kissed glow. With shades ranging from subtle pinks, glowing oranges, and soothing purples, blush offers a little something for everyone. And the look of the season? The stunning Sunset Blush trend- a celebration of summer’s warm hues and the effortless blend of colors that mirror a perfect sunset. "This trend can work on any and all skin tones because it's completely customizable!" says North Carolina MUA Patty Gurkin. The best part? It’s quite simple to recreate! Just three essential products are all you need. Patty mentions, "Choose shades that compliment your complexion that also mimic the most beautiful time of day." Start with a reddish-pink blush—my top choice is from Runway Room (www.runwayroom.com/products/peach-punch-powder-blush), a fabulous woman-owned brand from Australia, where sun-kissed beauty is a way of life. Their shade “Peach Punch” is simply perfect for this look. Next, you’ll need a warm orange blush to give your cheeks that glowing, horizon-like effect. Finally, a golden-glittery highlighter will add the finishing touch, bringing the whole look together with a dazzling sparkle. Now, let’s channel the sun!
The Harmonizer Powder Blush Brush basking in the Arizona sunset
Begin by using a high-quality fluffy blush brush—I recommend Blended Society Beauty’s The Harmonizer. Its dense, soft bristles are ideal for creating a flawless blend. Dip your brush into the reddish-pink blush and lightly sweep it across the tops of your cheeks, starting near the temples. This placement lifts and sculpts your face, giving you that effortlessly snatched look. Very demure, very mindful. (tiktok joke)! As you blend, gently bring the color down towards the apples of your cheeks, setting the stage for the next hue. Without switching brushes, dip into the warm orange blush and apply it just below the pink, blending with a light hand to create a seamless transition. The key here is to let the colors flow into one another without fully merging—this is where the magic of the sunset lies. Once you’re satisfied with the gradient, it’s time to add the final touch. Using a clean, small fluffy brush, apply the golden highlighter just above your blush. Don’t hold back—this is where your glow truly shines, echoing the sparkle of the setting sun. Our makeup expert, Patty says to "Choose which part of the sunset works best for you! Golden hour would be great for warm tones and blue hour would be great for cool." And just like that, you’ve created the perfect sunset blush! Take a moment to admire your artistry—you’ve captured the very essence of a summer evening right on your cheeks. We’d love to see your shining sunset creations! Tag us or DM us on Instagram @ blendedsocietybeauty.
This look is perfect for that end-of-summer vacation or an evening rooftop dinner. When the sun is going down, all eyes will be on you as you glow with the view! The Sunset Blush trend isn't just a makeup look—it's a celebration of the vibrant, warm hues that define summer. Whether you're enjoying a day at the beach or a night out with friends, this radiant style will make you feel like you’re carrying the sunset with you wherever you go. So, why not embrace the glow and let your beauty shine just as brightly as the setting sun?
