TikTok is constantly inventing new ways to hack our makeup routines. Although it can be overwhelming to keep track of all the new beauty trends, there’s nothing better than finding the one hack that works for you. We can’t get enough of blonzing, and it seems like everyday more ways to apply blush are popping up. The truth is, we’re willing to try out just about anything if it means improving our usual routine. So when TikTokers began raving about jelly donut blush, we couldn’t help but be intrigued. If you’re looking for a foolproof way to add more glow to your cheeks, you need to take note of the jelly donut blush trend.
What Is Jelly Donut Blush?
Jelly donut blush is the perfect way to get that Sabrina Carpenter flushed glow. Even though TikTok isn’t exactly above food beauty trends, jelly donut blush (thankfully) has nothing to do with actual donuts. Instead, the name comes from the way blush and highlighter are applied. Similarly to blonzing, jelly donut blush is simply a new method to maximize your blush’s potential. In this case, jelly donut blush seamlessly combines blush and highlighter for that glow-from-within look.
How to Apply Jelly Donut Blush
If you’re ever unsure of when/where to apply blush or highlighter, rest assured jelly donut blush will eliminate all of the confusion. Plus, it’s surprisingly super easy to do—making it a perfect method for newbies and experts alike. To get the look, draw a circle on the high points of your cheek with your favorite liquid highlighter. After that, apply a dot of blush inside the highlighter circles to form your jelly donut. Lastly, blend everything our as you normally would. The result is perfectly dewy blushed cheeks. While cool-toned blushes have picked up serious steam on TikTok, experiment with different blush and highlighter shades to get different results.
The Best Products for Jelly Donut Blush
When it comes to tracking down your perfect blush or highlighter, it’s all about preference. However, the jelly donut blush trend requires liquid highlighter and liquid (or cream) blush for easier application. The hack literally mixes the two products together, so it’s important that the formulas work nicely together when applied on top of each other. When in doubt, go for products that are super blendable. But if you’re still not sure what products to use, here are our picks.
