Blonzing Is The New TikTok Beauty Trend For A Natural Blush Look

TikTok beauty trends have introduced us to so many great blush hacks. From boyfriend blush to blush blindness, new ways to add colours on your cheeks go viral in just every few scrolls. If you spent any time on social media last fall, you might have noticed there is a new coined term: blonzing. Short for blush and bronzing, the idea is to use a shade that sits between rosy and brown to give off that healthy flushed and tanned look. It’s a quick and almost instant way to blush and bronze at the same time, saving you the hassle of putting two separate products, yet still getting the look of both. Though the trend hit TikTok by the end of last year, we’re not ready to let go of it just yet. Here, we’ve rounded up the perfect blonzers for your cheeks and temples.

FAIR SKIN TONE

1. Glow Play Cushiony Blush in Ginger Luck, $60, MAC Cosmetics

True to its name, the Glow Play Cushiony blush gives off a glowy finish — without looking like you’re drenched in oil. It melts almost instantly on the skin and sits on top of the foundation beautifully. If you love a beige blush more than you do pink or rosy, this is going to be a guaranteed staple in your makeup bag.

2. Dior Backstage Rosy Glow in Toffee, $69, Dior

Dior Backstage Rosy Glow in shade Pink might be the most popular, but their Toffee sister is not to miss. The blush is formulated with a pH-activated colour technology that will adjust the payoff of the product based on the pH levels of your skin. The lightweight and ultra-fine powder gives the cheek a natural flush of colour.

3. Canmake Tokyo Cream Cheek in Caramel Latte, $10.95, Canmake

This cream blush has a melting gel-type texture, which can be applied with your fingers or a brush. Its creamy formula blends effortlessly on the skin and dries a glowy finish, dab on a couple of layers for a more intense colour payoff. Use it with foundation or without for that no-makeup-makeup look.

MEDIUM SKIN TONE

1. Icy Nude Blush Filter in Latte, $39, Huda Beauty

Want to look like you’re kissed by the sun? This shade from Huda Beauty is a strong contender for getting that effect in an instant. Dab a small amount of the product on the cheekbones, temples, and nose, then blend with your fingers or brush. The finish is a dewy and hydrated appearance that makes you look like you’re glowing inside out.

2. Major Headlines Double-Take Creme & Powder Blush in She’s Blushing, $62, Patrick Ta

This two-in-one blush is both a crowd pleaser and TikTok approved for many reasons. Not only does it come with a cream and powder blush that pairs together beautifully and wears alone nicely, it has stunning shade ranges for everyone. My personal favourite is She’s Blushing — the perfect blend of rosey and taupe that looks good on everyone. Tip: apply the powder before cream to get that iconic Patrick Ta makeup look.

3. Cheeks Suede Powder Blush in Bakin’ Cakez, $46, Fenty Beauty

If you’re more of a matte finish fan, this pressed powder blush is for you — it’s completely matte but doesn’t fall flat on your face. The shade in Bakin’ Cakez is an absolute flawless blonzing colour for fair to medium toned skin.

DARK SKIN TONE

1. Color Fuse Glassy Blush Balm Stick in Glassy Clove, US$34, Haus Labs by Lady Gaga

Trust Lady Gaga to make your makeup look snatched. Haus Labs’ Color Fuse line comes in two formulas and this balmy formula leaves a radiant glow on the skin that will make you forgo highlighter every time. The colour is completely buildable, add more for a more intense and deeper colour depending on your skin tone and preference.

2. Nars Blush in Orgasm Rush, $58, Nars

This Orgasm Rush shade is a deep rose taupe colour that will make you look like a glowing goddess even in the rainy season, much thanks to the shimmery formula. It falls more on the pink spectrum rather than brown, but still gives off that stunning toasty warm look for your cheeks.

3. Color Fuse Blush Powder in Fire Moon, $50, Haus Labs by Lady Gaga

Much like its creamy counterpart, the powder formula leaves a radiant finish on the cheeks. This shade is a lovely muted peach that you can wear everyday or build it up for a more glam look.
