I Tried TikTok's Latest Under-Eye Blush Trend & This Is What Happened

Step 1: Concealer

First thing when starting your pink under-eye look, apply your go-to under-eye concealer to brighten the inside corner area underneath your eye. A good concealer will be a shade lighter than your foundation, masking any dark circles, wrinkles, or blemishes. Preferably used after smoothing on your foundation, allow your concealer to set for about 5 to 10 minutes before moving on to steps 2 and 3 of this effortless look.

Step 2: Blush #1

As for the next step, I used Rare Beauty’s Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the color "Bliss." I loved the lightweight feel and ease of application the matte nude pink provided. The soft tonal rose pink was subtle, with just the right pop of color extending to the deepest part of the inverted triangle underneath the eye.

Step 3: Blush #2

Following up with a second blush with a deeper tone, I used Fenty Beauty’s Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush in "Summertime Wine" on the outer under-eye higher up on my cheekbones. Using a M405 Angled Contour Brush from Morphe, I applied the lightweight cream blush, which is a great product to build upon if a more pigmented look is desired.

Step 4: Blend

At this point, I was a bit nervous about the outcome but knew I had to trust the process. Opting for a sponge for finishing touches, it worked wonders in blending the layers of blush, especially with a mix of liquid and cream products, giving it a more natural finish.

After blending, I decided to apply another layer of Fenty Beauty’s "Summertime Wine," which is why I love a builder blush. With more layers, the bolder the look with a doll-like effect.

Step 5: Setting Powder

Finally, I applied setting powder to set the under-eye makeup, which allows it to last throughout the day by keeping the oil away while also achieving a smooth matte finish. For this step, I also used a Beauty Blender to set the concealer and blush combination.

Final Look

Being a natural makeup girly with less is more perspective, I’ll definitely try this look again. Finding the right balance of blush, concealer, and setting powder will be the ultimate goal, as this beauty trend is for those who love a subtle approach to their everyday makeup routine.

Layering the perfect pinks without going too bold while also achieving an effortless pigmented look is the key.
