WE all know TikTok to be a smorgasbord of DIYs, hacks, entertainment, and product reviews.
Now, you can kiss your old way of applying blush goodbye because TikTok is buzzing with a new way, and it promises to be “life-changing” by its creator.

What is the TikTok ‘blush’ hack?
The TikTok blush hack started when the user @paintedbyspencer shared a video of themselves applying blush up to their under-eye area.
This led to more than 850 videos using Spencer’s audio and applying blush to their under-eyes.
Many videos show users applying it over their concealers and then blending the two.
The result is a more “awake” look and fewer dark circles.
How does the ‘blush’ hack work?
Spencer explained why it works so well in a different video on their TikTok.
They said, “even as a makeup artist, when I work on somebody who has really hollow, or you know, dark under-eyes, I could use the most full-coverage concealer and the most full-coverage foundation, powder… and I’ll still get that, you know, bluish-gray tones showing through, and it’s so frustrating.”
They said to think of it almost like a color corrector.
They also said it works well if you do your eye makeup before finishing up with blush because the blush will help to sweep away any dark makeup that may have ended up falling off the eye during application.

How can I apply the ‘blush’ hack myself?
“Now this is really important,” Spencer said,
“You can’t just use any blush. No, no, no, no, no. I find it most effective when it’s a pink or a coral or a peachy blush. Like, that’s what’s going to cancel out those tones.”

The makeup artist finished by giving one more hint:
“Also, it can’t have any shimmer in it. It has to be matte because the shimmer or the highlighter effect is going to accentuate pores and fine lines underneath this area.”
