If you have at all scrolled through your FYP these last few weeks, you’ll know that the “Boyfriend Blush” trend is one of the biggest beauty looks of the season.
But what is boyfriend blush you may ask? According to our research, there’s really no relationship status required to obtain this trendy new look. Drawing inspiration from the dating experiences of our youth, the Boyfriend Blush look consists of a romantic flush of color across the high points of the cheeks and nose bridge – similar to if you were blushing in front of a significant other.
Cute and easy to achieve, the blush is meant to sit on the apples of the cheeks. According to experts, it should be blended down into the lower part of the jawbone for the nostalgic flushed look.
Now that you know how to apply Boyfriend Blush, here are ten of our favorite products we suggest using to get the look of the summer.
