✨ Statement Blush Goals: How to Achieve the Beautiful Look Inspired by Painted by Esther 🎨💖

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

If you’re on beauty TikTok or Insta lately, you know the name Painted by Esther. 🎨✨ Esther Edeme is the celebrity makeup artist behind the glowing cheeks of Chloe Bailey, Saweetie, Nara Smith, and so many more. Her signature? That bold, fluorescent blush look that somehow feels soft, radiant, and unapologetic all at once. Fans even call her the “final boss of blush blindness” 💖—and she’s turned what used to be a risky color choice into a confidence move, especially for darker skin tones. Ready to try it for yourself? Let’s break down exactly how to recreate Esther’s viral blush technique step by step.

Prep
Before we dive into blush, let’s set the stage. ✨ Start with a little self-care moment — pop on a pair of hydrating eye patches (the Peter Thomas Roth Instant Firmx ones are a fave) to wake up and plump your under-eye area. This step matters because Esther’s blush sits a bit higher on the cheeks, and you don’t want any creasing. While those patches are working their magic (about 10–15 minutes), go ahead and shape your brows and finish your eye look. Once you peel them off, lock in hydration with a primer like Milk Makeup’s Hydro Grip, then smooth on a light layer of foundation. Brighten with concealer only where you need it — we’re going for fresh and seamless, not cakey. 💖

Blush
Here’s where the magic happens 💖 — Esther’s signature blush moment. Start with a bold liquid blush (think Rare Beauty Soft Pinch in Lucky 🌸) and place it high on the cheekbones, closer to the hairline than you’d normally go. Tap, tap, tap to blend upward — this keeps the color lifted and sculpted instead of sinking the face.

Next, for that multi-dimensional glow, layer a slightly cooler-toned blush right at the apples of the cheeks and blend it seamlessly into the first shade. Lock it in with a pink-toned setting powder dusted lightly over the same areas for that soft-focus, dreamy flush.

Pro tip: Set your under-eyes with a puff + loose powder so the blush really pops without any creasing. To finish, sweep on a mix of hot pink + cool-toned powder blushes right over top. This layering trick is so Painted by Esther — vibrant, dimensional, and unapologetically blush-forward. 🎨✨

How To Achieve The Perfect Brown Lip With This Easy Contour Hack

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

Brown lips are back—and they’re bolder than ever. While lip liner has long been the go-to for sculpting the perfect pout, a new viral hack is changing the game. Instead of reaching for a pencil, beauty lovers are creating the ultimate brown lip using just three staples: a creamy contour stick, concealer, and a swipe of gloss. The result? A juicy, sculpted finish that looks effortless yet elevated. Ahead, we’re breaking down the step-by-step trick that delivers the perfect brown lip every time.

Step 1: Prep Your Lips for the Perfect Brown Lip
Start with your usual makeup routine—think flawless base, brows, and eyes—before moving on to lips. The beauty of a brown lip is its versatility: the neutral tone complements everything from everyday glam to a full night-out look. For a chic monochromatic effect, pair it with soft brown shadows on the eyes. Before trying the contour hack, don’t forget to prep your pout with a hydrating balm to keep the finish smooth and juicy.

Step 2: Create the Perfect Brown Lip with Contour
Swap your lip liner for a creamy contour stick (think Makeup by Mario SoftSculpt Shaping Stick or Too Faced Chocolate Soleil). Lightly trace around the edges of your lips—the line may look thicker than a traditional liner, but don’t worry, it blends seamlessly. Press your lips together to diffuse any harsh lines.

Next, add dimension by tapping a small amount of concealer onto the center of your lips, then blend by rubbing them together. Finish with a high-shine clear gloss (like Huda Beauty Faux Filler) to lock in the look. The result is a juicy, sculpted brown lip with natural depth—no pencil required.

The Final Look: Brown Lips, Elevated
This contour hack proves you don’t always need a lip liner to master the perfect brown lip. With just three products—contour stick, concealer, and gloss—you can create a dimensional, sculpted finish that feels both effortless and elevated. It’s a modern take on a ’90s classic and the ultimate go-to for anyone who loves a versatile, statement lip. Whether you wear it with soft neutrals or a full glam beat, this trend is one to add to your beauty routine now.

The Toasty Makeup Routine We Can’t Stop Wearing

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

If summer had a signature look, it would be toasty makeup—warm, bronzed, and glowing like you just stepped out of golden hour. This sun-kissed routine blends cozy warmth with subtle glam, making it as wearable for an iced latte run as it is for date night. Think softly sculpted cheeks, a candlelit complexion, and eyes that smolder without trying too hard. And the best part? Toasty makeup isn’t just for August—it’s your year-round ticket to looking lit-from-within. Let’s break down exactly how to make it yours.

Complexion
The magic of toasty makeup begins with skin that appears to glow from within. Begin by drenching your skin in a rich, hydrating base—think IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream for that plush, bouncy feel. Keep coverage light and breathable with a sheer layer of foundation, blending it in with a damp sponge until it looks like your skin, but smoother. For that soft-focus warmth, lean into cream textures over powders—they melt in and keep everything dewy. Warm up your temples and cheekbones with a cream contour, then pop on a terracotta blush (we’re obsessed with Refy Blush in Rust for instant warmth). Finish with a sweep of golden highlighter across the high points for a lit-from-within shimmer.

Eyes & Lips
Keep your eyes warm and effortlessly smoldering with a swipe of bronzy cream shadow—blend it out softly across the lids and smudge a hint along the lower lash line for that just-right balance. Use a deep brown liner on your upper lash line, then gently smudge it with a brush or fingertip for a soft-focus smoky vibe. Layer on mascara to lift, lengthen, and frame those lashes without looking heavy. For lips, line with a medium brown pencil, slightly overlining to get that plush, kissable shape. Dab a creamy nude lipstick in the center and blend outward for a natural, soft finish that’s both inviting and understated.

The vibe? That perfect, toasted glow that feels warm, cozy, and absolutely wearable every day of the year.

💋 Gloss, Reimagined: The Bluety Gloss Club Collection

Published on by LeeLeave a comment

There’s something about a good gloss. The way it catches light mid-laugh. The way it makes you feel just a little more alive, even when you’re running late. But this—The Gloss Club Collection by Bluety—isn’t just a swipe-and-go situation. It’s a whole moment. A vibe. A love letter to your lips, written in 6 ultra-glossy shades.

And yes—she delivers.

💄 The Gloss Club Breakdown:

  • Full Bundle Price: $120 (on sale from $138)
  • Includes: 6 glosses + Daydream Pouch (if you buy 2+)
  • Vegan, cruelty-free, no fluff. Just shine.
    Shop the Full Set

The Texture: Like Silk… But Juicier

Let’s start with the formula. Bluety’s HydraLock Gel Technology melts onto your lips like serum—no stickiness, no chalky fade, just full-bodied shine that wears like a dream. One coat gives you that soft-glam, I-woke-up-lucky finish. Two coats? Glossed goddess.

And the tube? Designed to lock in product, not leak in your bag. We love a thoughtful gloss.

The Vibe: Shades That Speak Mood First, Color Second

These aren’t just colors—they’re moods. Personalities. Tiny power statements with serious main character energy:

  • Cherry on Top – That glossy red that turns a plain tee into a moment. Bold but never try-hard.
  • Pretty in Pink – Playful, flirty, and a little nostalgic. Think: brunch selfies + cotton candy skies.
  • I Am Her – Deep berry. Power pose. Glass in hand. Enough said.
  • Wannabe Me – Buttery caramel brown, aka your kind of neutral. Smooth, grounded, easy.
  • Heaven on Earth – The “everyday” pink that never feels boring. Just soft, balanced, kiss-ready.
  • Let Me Be Clear – Crystal-clear with a hint of micro-shimmer that hits different in the light. Ethereal and editorial.

Every gloss is infused with intention—and 9ml of product (aka almost double what most brands give you).

The Ethics: Gloss With a Heart

No paid ads. No scripts. No fluff.
Bluety built this drop with community-first energy, and it shows.

Every product is:
✔️ Vegan
✔️ Cruelty-free
✔️ Leaping Bunny certified
✔️ Connected to a cause — purchases support The Pomi Project, helping rescue and care for animals in need.

It’s lip care with layers—inside and out.

💫 Why This One Hits Different

There are glosses you keep at the bottom of your bag… and then there are glosses you build your whole look around. This is the latter.

The Gloss Club gives you that moisture-meets-mood moment in every tube. It’s glam without the gatekeeping. Shine without the stick. Cute, clean, and just rebellious enough to feel like it’s yours first—before it goes viral.

✨ Ready to gloss up?

Whether you’re a Cherry on Top kind of girl or living your Let Me Be Clear era, this collection feels personal. Intentional. And unapologetically fun.
