Boyfriend Blush

There’s a new blush trend, and despite what the name may suggest, it is not restricted to doe-eyed couples. Say hello to boyfriend blush, a trend that gets its name from the sweet flush that colours your cheeks after receiving an unexpected compliment from a special someone. Having originally poked its head up in the 1990s, it has since been resuscitated by the powers of social media. While other blush trends require mathematical precision, boyfriend blush doesn’t like to confine itself within boxes. Instead, start by applying your blush of choice to the apples of your cheeks. Rather than sweeping towards your temples for a snatched effect, gently blend the pigment downwards to create an all-over flush of colour. When choosing hues, reach for baby pinks and deep reds for that romcom-worthy glow.

Sunset blush

With the leisurely days of summer stretching languidly ahead, you likely have little on your to-do list other than lounging by the pool or drifting off into a light snooze with a beach read—only to wake up and discover the dreamiest sunset unfolding before your eyes. Channel this vision as you invite sunset blush into your repertoire of summer-ready looks. No spoiler alert needed here; the name gives it all away. Taking its cues from its namesake, sunset blush involves reaching for a merry riot of oranges, pinks and reds, along with a highlighter, to recreate the beauty of a summery sunset on your cheekbones. To get started, dot two liquid blushes—think coral orange and saturated pink—on the upper side of your cheekbones. Follow with a stroke of liquid highlighter under the outer corner of your eye, then blend, blend, blend with a fluffy brush for the perfect sunset-inspired look.

Ombré blush

Ready to turn your cheeks into your own canvas but don’t want to commit to just one hue? Move over, monochromes—this is the summer to mix, not match. Designed for those who love to experiment, ombré blush invites you to play with multiple hues to create a masterpiece that is uniquely your own. To get started, pick shades that complement each other—beauty savants on the internet have been favouring saturated and lighter tones within the same colour family. Begin by applying your lighter hue to the apples of your cheeks. Next, reach for a shade three tones darker than your first choice and swipe it along the tops of your cheekbones. Using a blush brush, blend upwards towards your temples for a stop-and-stare gradient effect.

Chrome blush

Chrome-glazed nails may have earned the favour of Sydney Sweeney and Vanessa Hudgens, but summer 2025 is the time to invite this trend into your blush palette as well. With summer festivals popping up on the horizon, chrome blush is the Coachella-ready trend that will ensure you turn heads. Ready for your own disco ball moment? This trend takes things up a notch by combining the high-shimmer pigments of glitter blushes with the glazed finish of dewy makeup. To recreate it, start by applying a creamy blush as a dewy base. Next, layer with a shimmery blush to create a pearlescent veil that catches the light—and all eyes—wherever you go.

Jelly doughnut blush

While this blush trend has little to do with actual doughnuts, we wouldn’t blame you for ordering yourself a decadent treat as you master this sweet-as-sugar trend. After espresso makeup and the tomato girl aesthetic, jelly doughnut blush is the latest to receive an invite into the world of food-inspired makeup trends. Designed to take the guesswork out of blush placement, this trend is a favourite with beginners and experts alike. Start by drawing a circle with a liquid highlighter on the high points of your cheeks. Next, apply a cool-toned blush within the halo of your highlighter. Blend together with a brush or your fingertips to mimic the soft glaze of a doughnut oozing with jelly.
