I’ve Tried So Many TikTok Blush Hacks—These 5 Are Worth Your Time

Blush is an essential part of any makeup routine, and TikTok is filled with countless tips and tricks for applying it. After trying dozens of different TikTok blush hacks, I’ve narrowed down my favorites to these five that are truly worth your time.

1. The “triangle” blush hack: This hack is all about creating a lifted, sculpted look. Start by applying blush to the apples of your cheeks and then extend the color up towards your temples. This creates a triangle shape that makes your cheekbones look higher and more defined.
2. The “reverse triangle” blush hack: For a more subtle, everyday look, try the reverse triangle blush hack. Instead of applying blush to the apples of your cheeks, start at the temples and blend the color down towards your cheeks. This gives a natural, flushed look that’s perfect for everyday wear.
3. The “oval” blush hack: This hack is perfect for those with rounder faces who want to create a slimming effect. Apply blush in an oval shape along your cheekbones, starting from the center of your face and blending outwards. This will create the illusion of a slimmer face and make your features appear more defined.
4. The “highlight and blush” combo hack: To make your skin look glowing and youthful, combine blush with a highlighter. Apply a peach or champagne-colored highlighter to the high points of your face, such as your cheekbones, brow bone, and cupid’s bow. Then, apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend it outwards towards your temples. This creates a beautiful, lit-from-within look.
5. The “layered blush” hack: For a long-lasting, vibrant blush look, try the layered blush hack. Start by applying a light layer of blush to the apples of your cheeks and blend it outwards. Then, apply a second layer of blush to the center of your cheeks and blend it outwards towards your temples. This gives your blush a more intense color and longer lasting wear.

These are just a few of my favorite TikTok blush hacks that are worth trying. With these tips, you’ll be able to create a beautiful, custom blush look that suits your individual style and complexion. Happy experimenting!
