The premiere of Wuthering Heights is turning out to be a real success. And we’re not talking about film criticism—in fact, as with everything, there are as many supporters as detractors—as to what has happened around the film, but rather about the buzz surrounding it. The stars, aided by a powerful marketing campaign, have created an image in which the plot has ceased to matter to make way above all for an aesthetic that is captivating fashion and beauty trends.
The tapestry print or the gothic, dark atmosphere of the era are taking root in society, and the looks Margot Robbie wears in the film are already an inspiration and a true icon that promises to mark a before and after. These looks, of course, feature makeup playing a super important role. A key example is the blush the actress wears both on screen and in her latest public appearances.
It has been the makeup artist Adrián Rux who has emphasized the characterization Robbie brings to the Wuthering Heights role she plays. The professional has posted a video on his Instagram profile in which he spoke about how the actress is sweeping the film’s promotion.
Her spectacular styling, always inspired by the film’s aesthetics, has been among the most applauded. She did it with Barbie a few years ago, and she repeats it now with a flawless, meaningful look, perfectly in tune with a Jacob Elordi who is not lagging behind. A perfect ten.
And what role does the makeup she uses play? Because yes, Margot’s current beauty look has nothing to do with the one she wore when Barbie premiered. Look at her skin. That vibrant skin, that blush a bit centered, as if it had a pulse, says Adrián, highlighting the actress’s strategic blush.
And as the makeup artist explains, it is a blush that seeks warmth, imitating the natural flush that appears when we blush. ‘It does not aim for that lifting effect that elevates, but something more classic, even a bit painterly,’ he explains about a technique he himself calls “blush boyfriend”.
What is the blush boyfriend
But what exactly is this blush? It is a viral technique on TikTok and adopted by influencers around the world that seeks to recreate that authentic flush that appears naturally after physical activity. You simply have to apply the color more strategically under the cheekbone, blending upward toward the center of the cheeks.
What differentiates Boyfriend Blush from other trends is its pursuit of perfect imperfection. The shade is a fundamental factor and must be chosen by observing the natural color the skin takes after exercise, creating a personalized and unique effect for each person.
And unlike draping or sunburnt blush, this technique aims to round and soften the features rather than sculpt them. On fair skin, a raspberry pink provides instant freshness; on medium and dark tones, intense corals and terracottas create a natural glow. Do you dare?
