If you’d asked us three years ago what makeup product we couldn’t live without, on the top of that list would’ve been contour or bronzer. Our reasoning? It sculpts our face and gives us a goddess-like glow. Fast forward to 2022, and we’re a whole different vibe. Blush is our new bae.

Not only does blush leave you with a fresh, rosy glow that’s so sexy and summery, but with the right application, it can lift and sculpt your face in seconds. Look, we’ll say it if we have to… Blush is the new contour.

Don’t believe us? Just look at the literal thousands of TikTok tutorials and TikTok trends and endless amounts of runway footage from the past two years, not to mention what all the celeb MUAs are saying and what their celeb clients are doing on the red carpet. All signs lead to blush is the new contour.

If you STILL need some convincing, check out these blush tutorials using our new Huda Beauty Cheeky Tint Stick Blush, $25. With the right placement, the long wear blush will add definition to your cheekbones and leave your cheeks looking dewy and radiant AF. It’s also crazy how much more lifted your cheeks look when just using blush. Like just check out this blush vs contour comparison:
