Candy cane blush is all over our FYP, here's how to get the look

The 2024 blush blindness persists. Blush combos are the latest beauty staple. The latest blush trend on our radar is the Christmas special edition. Candy cane blush has been popping up all over our For You pages, and for good reason.

This new viral blush trend is ideal for the holiday season since it creates the red warm flush of winter while also adding the white snowy shimmer of Christmas to it.

What is candy cane blush?

Candy cane blush is just a combination of red blush and white highlighter blended together to create a gentle and smooth, glowy blush appearance. This creates a similar appearance to red cheeks when you spend time outside in the cold during the winter.

This is the perfect blush trend you have to try this winter for Christmas parties. Red blush has been our fave blush trend to explore this year, and this look adds a festive touch to it.

How to achieve the look?

While it may appear simple enough. It takes a little trial and error to achieve the right look. To create the ideal appearance, you may need to experiment with different blush and highlighter amounts.

Begin by applying two spots of red blush on your cheeks, spacing them slightly apart. Next, using a white liquid highlighter, create three dots in the shape of a candy cane around the blush. Blend thoroughly until you achieve the desired look.

This is your sign to add a new glam makeup tradition to the holiday season.
