The Best Products for Achieving Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Boyfriend Blush’ Look

Look anywhere this summer and you'll see "boyfriend blush," the hottest new makeup trend that's all about a romantic, sun-kissed flush on the cheeks.

Sabrina Carpenter is the it girl of the moment, and she's been one of the biggest proponents of the trend, wearing the bold-yet-natural look on the cover of her upcoming album, Short n' Sweet, and beyond. Ready to replicate the look? Below, we've collected a few of our favorite products to help you wear it yourself.

Apple Doll True Love Blush: $22

We were first drawn to Apple Doll's True Love Blush because of its eye-catching heart-shaped dispenser and its effects manage to be just as darling. This stick blush has a creamy yet lightweight texture with plenty of highly pigmented color and nourishing ingredients, and it's especially sweet in this warm rose tone called Eve.

TONYMOLY Cheek Tone Jelly Blusher: $20

Prefer a softer, subtler approach to boyfriend blush? Look no further than K-beauty brand TONYMOLY and their Cheek Tone Jelly Blusher. With their Fog Pink color, you'll get a delicate, soft and silky finish on your cheeks for a gentle pop of color.

ColourPop Liquid Blush: $7

ColourPop goes the extra mile with their gorgeeus Liquid Blushes, as they're infused with hyaluronic and polyglutamic acids to hydrate skin, plus sea moss for moisture and niacinamide for smoothness. It's also light, long-lasting and extra blendable, with the cool-toned pink shade, IKTR, giving precisely the romantic summer radiance we crave.

Kiss New York Professional Pearl Blush Wand: $5.99

We also love the idea of blending the boyfriend blush trend with the pearl skin trend, and Kiss New York Professional's Pearl Blush Wand will truly give you the best of both worlds. It has an easy-to-use sponge applicator for touching up anytime, anywhere, with a blushy pearlescent finish for enhanced glow. Temping, a reddish-pink shade of tulip, is our favorite of the bunch.
