Blush has been a standout trend in the beauty world recently, with everyone from beauty influencers to celebrities showcasing rosy cheeks. This summer, the trend was all about a natural flush or high-intensity draping. However, as we transition into the cooler months, there will be a shift in tones and shades to embrace the autumnal aesthetic. The fall 2024 blush trends will focus on adding warmth and deep dimension to the cheeks while still incorporating some familiar hues from previous seasons.
If you’re unsure about what to look out for in the upcoming season, The Zoe Report has enlisted the expertise of four celebrity makeup artists to provide insights on the blush trends you should try this fall. From the blonzing technique to sun-kissed flushed looks, dark berry tones, and unexpected lilac shades, there is something to suit everyone’s taste.
The blonzing trend, as predicted by makeup artist Shanell Sorrells, involves using warm shades that can double as bronzers for a more subtle yet sculpted look. This technique brings together reddish-brown brick tones to capture both the natural flush of a blush and the depth of a bronzer. Applying the bronzy blush near where you would usually apply bronzer can create a warm, snatched appearance.
For those who still love the naturally flushed cheeks and high-placement combos from summer, celebrity makeup artist Shadi Malek suggests continuing this trend into fall. This bright, warm pink look applied in an upwards motion towards the temples creates a youthful and lifted appearance. Products like Kosas baked blush in Blissed, Rare Beauty liquid blush in Happy, and Anastasia Beverly Hills Blurring Serum Liquid Blush in Hibiscus can help you achieve this look.
As the season transitions into deeper hues, celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg recommends incorporating berry-toned blushes for a cozy and moody autumn look. Placed higher on the cheekbones, these shades add definition and color to the face, complementing the season’s vibes of cranberry-colored clothing and black cherry manicures.
Finally, the unexpected lilac blush trend is gaining popularity on platforms like TikTok. Makeup artist Lauren Bridges suggests choosing shades of light purple with pink overlays to find the perfect balance based on your undertones. This trend adds a fun pop of color to the cheeks and can be complemented with matching lip colors for a cohesive look.
As we embrace the fall 2024 blush trends, experimenting with different shades and techniques can help you find the perfect look to complement your style and skin tone. Whether you prefer a subtle blonzed look, a sun-kissed flush, deep berry tones, or unexpected lilac hues, there’s a trend for everyone to try this season.
