If we talk about which makeup trends have been the most prominent in recent years, blush could be that absolutely indispensable cosmetic in those cutting-edge fashions that defined the keys of the beauty industry. It had been quite a long time since there was a perfect makeup look without a very pronounced blush, one that completely set aside the adjective natural and was placed in such a way that it even distorted that blush effect on the cheeks.
It has been placed on the temples, even on the eyelid, under the eyes, on the nose and even on the forehead and chin, all with a tone increasingly pinker that even evolved toward purple. However, every trend comes to an end and options appear that arise as an absolute contrast.
And yes, although it seemed it wouldn’t arrive, blush has also reached its moment. It has been banished with a trend that seeks the opposite: not to be noticeable. It has received the name of anti-blush or anti-colour blush and it is summarized as being fashionable for it to go completely unnoticed.
In this way, part of the 2000s aesthetics and Asian makeup techniques are revived, achieving an effect totally opposite to what we had been seeing just a few months ago. This is confirmed by David Deibis, Perricone MD’s official makeup artist.

“For a long time, we have seen makeup looks in which blush was the absolute protagonist. It was applied in large quantities, with very intense pinks and even on the nose. Now we seek cheeks that look more natural, where the color is present but barely noticeable. This is what we now call the anticolorete,” the expert explains.
However, the expert clarifies that it is not about stopping using blush itself, but about modifying the technique and, most importantly, changing the color used. “Rather than resorting to pinks or fuchsias, we look for brown, beige or caramel tones that resemble more the natural tone of our skin,” explains Deibis.

Then, what is recommended is to apply a toasted beige to lighter skin tones and, on darker ones, it is best to opt for more intense caramel tones. “The important thing is that the color blends with the skin and does not look like we are wearing a brown patch on the cheek,” he advises.
To do this, you can buy a browner blush, but you can also try a cream or powder bronzer you already have at home. It is a way to give a second life to other products, turning them into more versatile and functional options. Try some of these formats.
