Let’s Talk Best Orange Blushes: Another Viral Tik Tok Trend!

We talked about the viral purple blush trend we’d been seeing all over Tik Tok. It gave us a cool-toned, natural flush and we were living for it. But, what if you want a very warm, sun-kissed blush instead?

Well, if you haven’t heard of orange blush yet, you’re about to! Orange blush looks severe in the pan and definitely intimidating, but it applies as a much more natural and subtle shade. If you find pink blushes too artificial-looking, but you want to add color back to your face, orange blush may become your best friend.

This video by @getreadywithniks on Tik Tok shows the difference between purple and orange blush, giving us a better idea of what we're working with!
