Love a Flush of Blush? Here's how to rock this makeup favorite in 2021
COVER STORY / 2021-03-24
One of the best things about the transition from colder months to warmer months – are the spring makeup trends. This year's spring makeup trends are all about a flush of color. Think vibrant pink lipsticks and rainbow eyeshadow. The silver lining of having to spend most of the last year at home is that it's given us more time to try new things, and get comfortable with them. Whether it’s baking cupcakes, making your post-workout smoothie, or experimenting with makeup colors you usually don't wear.
We’re focussing today on blush trends for 2021. As the new year 2021 brings a fresh set of makeup trends to master, you've found yourself in the right corner of the internet today. For SS’21, vibrant colors and nostalgia are two major themes. From '60s-inspired negative space eyeliner and to gorgeous violet smokey eye, there are many makeup trends in line to get you excited. So, without further ado, here are the top three best spring 2021 blush makeup trends.
Bold flush of Blush
Need to wake up your face instantly? Try out this spring 2021 makeup trend. Blend a pink or coral blush on your cheeks, temples, and underneath your brow bones to give yourself a pretty all over flush no-makeup makeup look. Bold blush is one of the season’s hottest makeup trends. To achieve this look, use a small, dome-shaped blush brush and apply your blush shade of choice with a heavy hand to the apples of your cheeks. Bored of the regular pink tone? Try wine and raspberry shades this summer. While going both with your blush, we suggest keeping the rest subtle with just a few swipes of mascara, and a subtle tint of tinted gloss on the lips.
Dewy, Shimmery Blush
For all the skin care lovers: natural skin will be the big makeup thing in 2021. Given that many of us haven't put on a full face of makeup in months, this really works well for us. The natural skin look was all the rage at the spring-summer 2021 fashion shows. Shift to effortless makeup like designers including Victoria Beckham and Jason Wu. If you want a subtle look, go with a light pink or mauve, and sweep it across your cheeks in upward directions.
For a slightly more trendy look, opt for a shimmery blush or mix some liquid highlighter with powder blush, and apply generously. Walk out like a goddess, literally!
Cherubic Blush
The Cherubic blush trend is by far the most adaptable makeup trend. Start with a double cleanse for creating a super-clear base. Next, add a facial scrub on top of the cleanser and massage it in, focusing on the nose, chin, and forehead, where there’s usually a lot of product buildup. Now, layer on a detox mask on top of the scrub to nix impurities. Dip the tip of your round blush brush in the pot and apply lightly on the apple of your cheeks. Start slowly and in circular motions, remember how a baby’s cheeks look like? Well, that’s the look we’re going for. An angelic, natural hint of blush.
Dewy, color-popped cheeks will be the latest look for face makeup in the new year 2021. But instead of a powder blush that typically dries out the skin, we recommend using a creamy one for the most natural, non-cosmetic effect, adding an awoken quality to the skin. Instead of having to hide your skin, show it off and enhance it just a little so that you can see how beautiful it naturally is.
You've seen colorful eyeliner all over Instagram, and unexpected shades of mascara trending for 2021. And here we’ve taken you through the best of blush trends for SS’21. This season is really about being easier. There are more colors, more real and more glitter. And I feel the overall vibe right now is a little more fun yet classic.
