Jelly Donut Blush Adds A Touch Of Sweetness To Your Makeup

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Radiant, glowing skin has always been a beauty holy grail, and while there are countless ways to achieve it, makeup trends are constantly pushing boundaries. The latest viral sensation that dominates our social feeds is the jelly donut blush trend. At first, we were skeptical about this food-inspired movement. But after giving it a try, we’re obsessed. It isn’t just any blush technique. It’s all about creating juicy, dewy cheeks with a glossy, lit-from-within finish. Perfect for anyone looking to add a fresh, luminous glow to their beauty routine, the jelly donut blush trend is the ultimate upgrade for your summer/spring look.

Achieving the jelly donut blush look begins after your base makeup routine. Start by applying a hydrating primer to prep the skin so the products settle well into the skin. Next, opt for a skin tint or tinted moisturizer to create a healthy, even complexion. Use a touch of concealer to brighten the under-eye area, now you’re ready to dive into the jelly donut blush.

Many fans of this look start with Benefit’s High Beam as the “glaze” component. Using the applicator, dab it onto the highest points of your cheeks, the tip of your nose, and the inner corners of your eyes – but don’t blend it in just yet. The next step is the “jelly” portion. Apply Benetint, Benefit’s viral liquid cheek stain, over the highlighter on your cheeks, nose, and lips for a touch of color. Using clean fingers, gently pat the products together, blending them into the skin. The result? A gorgeous, radiant complexion that looks like a real-life filter.

While the jelly donut blush trend often features these popular Benefit products, you can easily recreate the effect with other liquid alternatives. For instance, we love Saie’s Glowy Super Illuminator paired with the Dew Blush for a similar flushed look. By layering your highlighter and blush, you achieve the most seamless and healthy glow, perfect for that youthful radiance.

Get an Angelic Glow With Thai Makeup Magic

K-pop-centric beauty trends have found worldwide fame on social media, but there’s another Asian makeup style that we predict is going to hit the big leagues. Say hello to Thai makeup – a mesmerizing blend of soft glam and a touch of magic. It’s all about enhancing your natural features with a subtle, yet enchanting flair. Using a delicate color palette sprinkled with shimmer, Thai makeup is your go-to look for weddings, special events, or just because. Ready to master this style? Dive into our step-by-step guide and get ready to glow like never before.

Like Korean styles, Thai makeup relies on a glowy base to give the skin a glass-like finish. Start with an illuminating primer, like Rare Beauty Always an Optimist primer, to bring out your inner glow. Apply your favorite foundation and set it with a translucent setting powder. Use a shimmery highlighter on the nose bridge and Cupid’s bow for added radiance. One of the defining features of Thai makeup is the fluffy, feather-like brows. To achieve this look, use a brow wax to comb your brows upward, filling in any sparse areas as needed.

You’ll quickly notice that this style of makeup focuses on the eyes. Start by sweeping a warm neutral peach shade over the lids and up into the crease. Follow up with a bright, effervescent pearl shade, applying it to the inner corners and the lower lash line to open the eyes. Use an eyeliner to create a thin, delicate wing for a subtle yet defined look. Complete this Thai makeup with fluttery, Asian-style lashes for an enchanting finish.

Transition From Day To Night With This Minimal Smokey Eye

Published on by Lee1 Comment

We’re still obsessing over the Grammy’s most stunning beauty moments and at the top of our list? Gracie Abrams’ effortlessly chic, minimal smokey eye – a look that’s been living rent-free in our minds all week. Striking the perfect balance between sultry and understated, this makeup works for any occasion, seamlessly taking you from day to night. Lucky for us, Abrams’ makeup artist, Emily Cheng, shared the exact products behind this look, and we’re breaking down every must-have below. Because let’s be honest – this is one beauty moment worth recreating.

Starting with a fresh, natural base, apply the Hourglass Veil Skin Tint foundation using a fluffy brush for a seamless finish. Follow up with the Vanish Concealer, blending it under the eyes and in the center of the forehead. Instead of heavy bronzing or bold blush, opt for a soft contour to lightly sculpt the cheekbones, nose bridge, and jawline, keeping the look understated.

Gracie is known for her perfectly feathered brows, so grab a tinted gel to brush up and set your brows into place. For the eyes, start by tightening the upper lash line with a black eyeliner pencil to create a subtle definition. Then, use the same pencil to accentuate the inner corners softly. To keep things balanced, switch to a brown eyeliner and lightly trace the rest of the lower lash line for a softer, more natural finish. Gently smudge the lower liner upwards using a clean finger.

Now, it’s time to build the smokey effect. Use a matte medium brown eyeshadow to elongate the outer crease, blending it outward. Then, take a deeper brown shade and apply it to the outer and inner corners of the lid to add dimension and depth. To complete the look, line your lips with the Hourglass Shape and Sculpt lip liner in the shade Candid.

This minimal smokey eye is the perfect balance between subtle and sultry, proving that you don’t need heavy glam to make an impact. 

Doechii’s Cool-Toned Makeup Stole The Show At The Grammys

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

On Sunday, February 2nd, the Grammy Awards brought a night of unforgettable fashion and beauty moments. Among the stars, Doechii stole the show – not just for her talent, but for her ’90s-inspired, cool-toned makeup. Her sultry look paired flawlessly with her Thom Browne pinstriped maxi dress, proving that moody, cool hues are having a major comeback. And with Doechii taking home Best Rap Album of the Year, her beauty look was just as award-worthy as her music. Ready to recreate it? We’ve rounded up everything you need for this Grammy-level glam.

A flawless red carpet look starts with the right foundation. After prepping your skin, apply a high-coverage, long-wearing formula like Face Bond Waterproof Foundation for a seamless base. Follow with a radiant concealer to brighten any shadows and enhance dimension. If your foundation leans matte, add a touch of highlighter to the high points of your cheekbones—not only for contrast but also to catch the light beautifully. Finish with a soft wash of blush for just the right hint of warmth, bringing life back to the complexion.

For the eyes, opt for an all-encompassing palette such as the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes or the Urban Decay Naked 2 palette. Start by sweeping a matte gray color over the lid, then a darker gray in the outer corners and lower lash line. Switch to a shimmery silver shade and blend this into the inner corners to brighten this eye look. Tightline your upper and lower waterlines, then curl your lashes and apply a few coats of mascara for added definition. Finally, lock everything in with a setting spray to ensure your cool-toned makeup stays out all night. 

Doechii’s award-winning makeup is a must-try!
