Blush Like a Pop Star
Do you want to look like you just stepped out of a music video with zero effort? Let’s talk about Tate McRae’s blush look, that effortlessly flushed, sun-kissed glow that’s been blowing up everywhere. She’s the face of the sunburnt blush trend, and we’re here for it.
Instagram’s Blush Obsession
This summer, summer blush makeup is getting a fresh upgrade with this viral makeup trend. Forget heavy contour and full glam, 2025 is all about soft, youthful cheeks that look like you’ve been dancing at a festival all day (even if you’ve been chilling in your room with your cat and a ring light).
How to Get That Flushed Glow
How to do sunburnt blush? Super easy. Grab your fave blush for summer cream or powder, your call, and swipe it across the high points of your cheeks and the bridge of your nose. That’s the key to natural blush placement. You’re not just adding color; you’re creating that “oops I forgot sunscreen but still look cute” vibe.
Blush Hacks = Main Character Energy
Want that same radiant glow as Tate? Blend your blush a little higher toward the temples for that dreamy lifted effect. Pro tip: mix a bit of highlighter or a dewy finish product into your blush to amp up the shine. These blush hacks for glowing skin are a chef’s kiss and make everything look more put-together in seconds.
Products That Bring the Glow
When picking sunburn blush makeup products, look for tones that mimic a real flush, peach, coral, soft red, or even terracotta. The goal isn’t to look “done-up” but to glow like your skin just naturally does that.
Step 1: Prep the Skin
Start with a hydrated base, apply a glowy moisturizer or primer to ensure your skin looks fresh and luminous.
Step 2: Use a Lightweight Foundation or Skin Tint
Go for a sheer, dewy formula to even out your skin without masking its natural glow.
Step 3: Apply PAC's Spotlight Liquid Blush
Dot a small amount of PAC Spotlight Blush on the high points of your cheeks, not the apples, and blend upward toward the temples using fingers or a damp sponge.
Step 4: Add a Touch to the Nose
Tap a tiny bit of blush across the bridge of your nose for a youthful, sun-kissed effect.
Step 5: Blend Seamlessly
Use a clean sponge or brush to melt the product into your base.
Step 6: Highlight Strategically
Add a hint of glowy highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones and brow bones for extra radiance.
Step 7: Lock It In
If needed, lightly mist with a dewy setting spray to keep everything fresh and glowing all day.
Blush It, Post It, Glow Up
This isn’t just makeup, it’s a whole mood. Flushed cheeks, glossy lips, tousled hair, and suddenly you’re channeling that viral “cool girl who’s not even trying” energy. Thanks, Tate.
So, whether you’re heading to a pool party, filming your own GRWM, or just vibing in your mirror, give the sunburnt blush trend a try. It’s easy, cute, and perfect for that carefree summer aesthetic we all crave.
