SUN BURNT BLUSHES ☀️
My fav shades to wear - anything that gives that I just spent the afternoon in the sun look. Obviously depending on your skin tone different shades will give you this look, for me it’s anything toasty/terracotta/burnt. The Saie Dew blush in the shade Spicy is also a great one! ✨
Okay, let's talk about the 'sunburnt blush' trend that's absolutely everywhere – and for good reason! I'm completely obsessed with how it gives you that fresh, just-back-from-the-beach glow without any actual sun damage. Seriously, who doesn't want to look effortlessly radiant and healthy? For me, it's about finding that perfect shade that mimics a natural flush, like I've spent a lovely afternoon outdoors. When you're trying to achieve that ideal 'blush that looks like sunburn,' it's all about strategic placement and choosing the right colors. Forget applying blush just on the apples of your cheeks! For a truly sun-kissed effect, I sweep my blush across my cheekbones, up onto my temples, and even a little bit across the bridge of my nose. This is where the sun naturally hits your face, giving you that authentic sun-blushed appearance. Now, let's dive into some of my absolute favorite products for nailing this look. You already know I love a good terracotta or burnt orange shade, and the Saie Dew Blush in Spicy is a dream for that warm, natural flush. But I've got a few more gems in my makeup bag that are perfect for creating the 'best sunburn blush' effect. First up, you have to try the Rhode Pocket Blush. Specifically, the shade Toasted Teddy is a game-changer. It's this beautiful warm, muted tone that just melts into the skin, giving you a soft, diffused sun-kissed look that's incredibly natural. It’s super easy to blend and buildable, so you can go from a subtle hint of color to a more pronounced 'I just got back from vacation' vibe. Another product I've been reaching for constantly is the Haus Labs Lip & Cheek Stick. The shade Glassy Cayenne is pure magic for a vibrant, yet still natural, sunburnt blush. It has this incredible blendable texture that makes it foolproof to apply, even if you're new to cream blushes. The warm cayenne color truly captures that post-sun glow, and I love that it doubles as a lip tint for a cohesive look. For those of you with lighter skin tones, look for peachy-pinks or soft corals. These shades will give you that delicate flush without looking too intense. If you have medium skin, terracotta, warm berry, or amber tones will be stunning. And for deeper skin tones, rich oranges, warm reds, or even a touch of cranberry can create an absolutely gorgeous, glowing 'sunburn blush look.' The trick is to start with a small amount of product and build it up gradually. I often use my fingers or a damp beauty sponge to really press the product into my skin, making it look seamless and part of my natural complexion. Remember, we're aiming for a healthy flush, not a harsh stripe of color. This method truly gives you the 'best blush for a sunkissed look,' making you feel radiant and ready for anything. Trust me, once you master this technique, you'll be rocking the sunburnt blush trend all year round!
