When it comes to makeup, TikTok is an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Recently, beauty girls on the app are loving the sunset blush technique, which uses two shades of blush and a highlighter to recreate the light of a perfect beachside sunset across the skin. Think of it as your best golden hour, ever.

“If only I was at the beach right now,” content creator Alissa Janay captioned the video where she shared the trend. Capturing the exact moment in which the sky lights up with bright shades of fuchsia, orange, and peach with a few dabs of her favorite blushes and highlighters. And while it does seem complex (what goes where, after all?)—simply look to a video for directions to DIY. Then, carefully blend with the brush or beauty blender and you’re done.
Just like the sunset itself, your products need to go in the correct sequence. Be sure to apply the highlighter at the height of the cheekbones (the classic place to put it) and the more vibrant shade higher of the two to lift the face. To diffuse between the two colors, a densely-packed makeup brush or good beauty blender is key.
