‘Sundae Blush’ Is the Easy Makeup Hack You Need to Try ASAP

As much as we love doing our makeup, we’re all for finding hacks to get us out the door faster in the morning. ‘Sundae blush’ has emerged as the latest viral blush hack to add color and definition to your complexion in one easy step. Joining the ranks of W blush and sunset blush, sundae blush offers the same eye-catching flush but incorporates contour into the mix.

Coined by content creator Abigail Canfieldd, sundae blush is achieved by layering liquid blush and liquid contour onto the mid-cheek to temple area to create a “sundae.” Contour serves as the ice cream cone, applied in a V shape to the mid-cheek. Then, two blush shades are dotted on to the cone to create the ice cream scoops. Lastly, a dot of highlighter is added on top as the whipped topping. The result? A tiny sundae on your cheek that looks good enough to eat—but also, a blush look that makes you look pulled together in seconds.

Once your sundae is applied, blend out with a fluffy blush brush and watch the magic happen. Start at the contour cone and work your way up to the ice cream and highlighter. The placement of each product allows for simultaneous dimension and color, knocking out two makeup steps at once. Make sure to use just a dot of the blush and highlighter (liquid formulas tend to be much more pigmented than powder or cream formulas) and really blend the product out—Canfieldd blends out all the way up to her temple for a draped look.

Canfieldd used all Rare Beauty to create her sundae, applying theSoft Pinch Liquid Contour, Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, and Positive Light Liquid Luminzer—although you can achieve the same look with similar liquid blush and contour products.
