"Boyfriend blush" is a makeup trend that gained popularity after makeup artist Mallory Osses explained how to get the look in a few easy steps.
It's been a trend in high fashion for a while, but it’s also great for everyday wear, especially in the summer, since it gives you that natural, sun-kissed look.
The name "boyfriend blush" comes from the fresh, rosy look it gives, similar to how Prince William and Harry's cheeks flush after playing rugby. Despite the name, it's not about guys at all.
TikTok users love the new Boyfriend Blush trend
Devon Aoki is often seen as the "queen of boyfriend blush" because she rocks a healthy, flushed glow. Even stars like Gigi Hadid and Rita Ora wore this blush style at the Met Gala.

Makeup artist and Tiktok content creator Mallory Osses says the boyfriend blush is perfect if you're looking for a lazy girl makeup look.
She creates the look with only 5 products, starting with concealer to even out her skin tone. Then she takes a cream blush in rose color, applying it to the lower cheeks, going towards the ear. She carefully avoids getting too close to the nasolabial fold, to avoid further lengthening her oblong face.
Then she uses a powder blush in pink and adds it on top of the cream blush. She then uses the same powder blush to apply it on her eyelids. Finally, she completes the look with some mascara and tinted lip balm.
It's as easy as that! But hold on, there's an even easier way to try this trendy look: a blush filter!
