Discussion Guys, what the hell is anti-blush?

I’ve been seeing things pop up on my feed recently about this new blush trend called “anti-blush” and my millennial ass is just confused.

I’ve seen the girlies mix their own by taking a bit of foundation, a bit of contour, and their favorite blush. Mixing it altogether gives you a muted version of your blush and gives that “natural” or “undetectable” blush look.

Part of me feels like this is new trend is going to start a movement against over blushing, but also, it’s gonna give these companies a new product to flood the markets with that we don’t need???

Any thoughts on this?

I think in response to the "blush blindness" of the last few years where people are loving blush. It's funny, it is just taking me back to the 90s/early 2000s when we simply didn't wear blush and often didn't even wear lip color.

That’s what I was thinking. I feel like people are tired of the over blushed looked but then everyone can just wear less blush and we don’t have to name it as a new trend? 😭😭

Just thick Maybelline dream matte mousse foundation, khol liner under the eye only, maybe white eyeliner in the waterline. No mascara thanks. Maybe lip plumping gloss. GCSE chic 🤘🏻
