Sunset Blush: The Hottest Beauty Trend of Summer 2024 

Sunset blush is the biggest beauty buzzword for the summer of 2024. This stunning, radiant appearance has a peach-coloured blush that is swept across the cheek and further up to across the bridge of the nose and the forehead for the natural effect that is reminiscent of warm, sunny summer evenings. Read on for complete details on how to get this cute makeup trend that suits all skin tones.

What Is Sunset Blush?

Sunset blush is an application of the blush product on the part of the cheeks that pops out when you open the mouth and also the portion that runs from the cheek apples down to the forehead, the tip of the nose, and the chin. While this flushed look was viewed recently as one of the trends on the main social platforms, ENN was using it during the summer 2024 fashion show.

To get the most natural and beautiful tone of a sunset blush, one has to use peach blush instead of a cool pink tone and blend it starting from the cheeks’ apples moving up to the temples, across the bridge of the nose and the forehead. Kilgour’s conclusion of a vibrant, healthy flush is an accurate summation of the book’s ultimate outcome.

Why Peach Blush Works Best

In achieving the right sunset blush look, the right blush color to apply is a warm peach or coral color. Pink blushes are a terrible idea because when applied grossly in the area of the cheeks and forehead, it looks artificial. Peach has warmth in it while giving the complexion a natural flush as it is close to red and orange.

Peach also suits all skin types and makes the skin glowing and bright. In the case of fair skin, it is readily seen to add a burst of color. Peach blush works well on medium to deep skin tone and really brightens up the face and gives it a beautiful hue. It also blends perfectly well with olive skin and has a slight orange tinge.

How to apply the blush properly

Sunset Blush is one of the most popular cosmetic brands and to apply it the following are some of the steps that you need to follow;

It is also important to note that mastering how the blush is applied during the sunset is the most crucial aspect in pulling it off. Follow these steps:

1. Prepare the skin as you do, applying a moisturizer and a primer if you are used to doing so. Sunset blush is especially flattering on fresh, moisturized skin because the skin tone will act as a base for the blush and guarantee it will look natural.

2. Take the peachy-toned blush you like most and make sure that you apply it directly on the apples of the cheeks by using a large and fluffy brush. Stir in the direction of the temples.

3. Smile and put on the blush on the apples of the cheeks again, but blend it just slightly more towards the back. It should now lightly touch the upper part of the cheeks, that is, the area above the line of the zygomatic bones.

4. Take some blush and ever so lightly, use it to dust across the tip of the nose and then blend it outwards towards the bridge of the nose.

5. Put blush on the forehead center and use the brush to spread it towards the ears.

6. As the final step, blend the color of blush by swiping it across the area from the jawline to the neckline.

The mixture should give a rich blend of the colors that will cover the entire cheeks, nose, and forehead in a manner that meets the hair color. To get a more vivid effect it is necessary to repeat the actions made in steps 2-5 but with an additional layer of blush.

Pro Tips

Here are some extra tips for perfecting the sunset blush:

– Apply the darkest layer of blush on the area of the cheeks that, when smiling, becomes more prominent, and go lightly on other parts of the face. This helps in avoiding an overdoing of the face around the central region by providing a contrasting shade.

– Do not make use of the cream formula but instead make use of a powder formula. Blends are less sharp, which makes powders useful for creating a softer and more subtle appearance.

– To finalize, sweep it across everything with a clean soft and fluffy brush to remove any marks or stains.

– Use a setting spray after combining the powders so that they are well incorporated into the skin.

– Sunset blush should be coupled with nude/ pink lip and eye make-up. Full lips or eyes are usually too much of a focus when complemented by full blushing.

– Another highlighter that could be recommended to use is a peach colored highlighter on the cheek and brow bones.

How the Sunset Blush look would appear on different skin tones

Now, let me give you an insight into how the Sunset Blush look would appear on different skin tones.

This beauty enhancer known as sunset blush works well with all skin types especially the peach colors used. Here’s how it flatters different complexions:

Fair Skin

Peach blush shines vividly on the lighter shade of the skin, and the outcome is a pretty-faced doll look. People who are extremely pale should avoid going for bright orange but rather opt for light pink softly coraly tones. After applying blush, it should not be too dark and the color should be focused at the point where the cheek bends.

Medium Skin

The sunset blush looks fabulous on medium skin just because of the beautiful coral shades chosen by the author. Apply orange and pinkish hues of peach, coral, and melon to the area of the cheeks and the nasal area and blend them out. The combination and the shades of the makeup look perfect for the medium skin and its undertones as well.

Olive Skin

Speaking of the combination of different shades, orangey peach blush looks best when applied on yellow-green olive undertones, as it gives a bright, glowing appearance. Blush shades applied in the subdued hues also complement and enhance the natural glow of the olive skin tone splendidly, particularly if they have shimmering properties. Blending the sunset blush, spread it evenly all over the cheeks, the bridge of the nose, and the forehead.

Deep Skin

The vivid notes of coral and melon blush are flattering on deep skin undertones in particular. Blow the layer for the colors to stand out by applying blush on pale skin shades than usual. Begin with lower intensity values, gradually increasing them if one wants to achieve the most realistic results. This is applied more heavily on the outer edge of the cheek by tapping lightly rather than pressing on the ‘apples’.

Right application of sunset blush depending on their face shape

Sunset blush works for all face shapes but to get the best results, one needs to apply it correctly depending on their face shape.

The right application of sunset blush can also help flatter and balance different face shapes:The right application of sunset blush can also help flatter and balance different face shapes:

Round Face

For face shapes which are full and round, then apply blush from the apples of the cheeks towards the hairline. This makes the face look less round from the two sides of the face. Do not apply blush in full strength on the forehead and chin since this adds to the fullness of the face.

Oval Face

I was just about to say that those with oval faces are rather blessed as they can use almost every type of blushing techniques. Vivid sunset blush should be applied on the ‘cheek apples’; tap edges gently with a soft color on the ‘nose, forehead, and chin’ to enhance the balanced facial structure.

Heart Shaped Face

For the heart-shaped face, if the chin is slim but the forehead is broad, use blush by placing it at the ‘apples’ of the cheeks and moving back towards the ear to create a balance. Avoid sharp angles or extreme angles towards the hairline and tender the slimmer chin area not to look more acute.

Square Face

To prevent over emphasizing the determination, apply radiant blushes on the cheeks’ fullness only and feather the products along the hairline. Use a very light pressure to apply the mask on the chin area. Square brushes with a slanted edge are rather appropriate for blur and for applying color gradually.

Long Face

On long face shapes it is advisable to apply bright blush on the cheekbones, instead of apples to avoid making the face look longer. Apply a sheer wash of color to the forehead and blend blush from the apples of the cheeks back towards the ear and hairline instead of down below the cheek line.

Sunset Blush Daytime makeup 

For those with conservative workplaces or preferences for more subtle daytime makeup, tone down sunset blush by:

– Selecting peach as a color instead of bright coral/orange tones

– Stippling process which involves applying makeup in a clear cut manner with a stipple brush.

– Applying less pigment on core areas such as the Nose and forehead

– Avoiding shimmery textures

– However, it is advisable to wear bright cheek color if the lips and eyes are done in an extreme manner.
