We’re always looking for innovative new ways to get the best makeup application, and sunset blush has just peaked as one of the trending ways to get a natural-looking rosy glow. The technique involves using multiple different shades of blusher in soft pink, warm orange and golden tones to create that sunset-inspired glow.
As the queen of flushed cheeks, it’s no surprise that Sabrina Carpenter is already leading wth way with the trend, with her makeup artist revealing she used the technique to get the singer’s glowing skin during a Saturday Night Live performance. Carolina shared the product breakdown on her Instagram, revealing that the two main products she used for Sabrina’s pink glow were the Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tints, , in shades 53 Bold Pink and 62 Delicate Mauve.

The magic is all in the colour transitions, with Rose mimicking the effect by applying pink powder underneath her eyes to set her makeup and add to the gradient effect.
Although blush is the key element in the sunset blush trend (it’s in the name, after all), to get the full effect you also need to add a little warmth and glow with bronzer and highlighter. For Sabrina’s face, Carolina used Armani’s Luminous Silk Glow Liquid Bronzer Drops, before setting it with the Luminous Silk Bronzing Powder, (was £46), to give that warm, glowing finish.

They come in three colours, including a warm brown and a vibrant pink-toned red, and have a creamy consistency that’s easy to blend with either your fingers or a brush. A cream consistency also means you’re less likely to waste product or accidentally apply too much, so you don’t need to worry about ending up with pink blush everywhere or having to start your whole face again.

If you’re a powder gal through and through, Il Makiage’s Mineral Baked Blushers, , are still easy to blend for that subtle gradient, and are enriched with bright pigments and pearls which help create catch the light for a radiant finish. For this look we love the shades Big Spender, a bold pink, and Toxic, a more coral-toned hue, which when blended together give that sunset-worthy glow.
