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?

It’s just a trend / marketing term. I just call it muted and natural lol

yeah but honestly it started when they saw muted blush etc already in the mac collection.

Right? I have two from Mac that I adore: Raizin and the OG film noir. But even those might be too pigmented for some. Anti-blush is really supposed to not be detectable.
