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.
