Japanese makeup trend with rosy cheeks

Drunken blush is an easy makeup look to achieve by blending blush (from the left cheek to the bridge of the nose and then to the right cheek). This makeup style seems to suit most face shapes and skin tones. Drunken blush has been around since late 2018 and has recently made a comeback as minimalist beauty trends take hold.

Asian makeup tends to focus on the eyes, so the Igari makeup style focuses mainly on the eyes and cheeks. The blush mimics the strong yet natural blush that a drunk person often has. Overall, this makeup look will give you a very innocent look with soft-looking eyes and a youthful, rosy complexion.

Below are the steps to help you create the perfect blush makeup look.

The blush makeup trend is minimalistic, so you need to have plump and smooth skin. Three steps should be done regularly: cleansing, moisturizing and sun protection. You should prepare these steps before starting to apply foundation to have a light finish.

Smooth foundation

Japan favors a smooth, dewy finish. To achieve this, use a thin layer of foundation to provide the lightest coverage and even out your skin tone. While you should avoid applying too many layers of foundation to avoid a thick, cakey look, make sure you have even coverage over your entire face before moving on to the next step. Once you have applied your foundation, apply concealer. Finally, use powder to set your makeup.

rosy cheeks

You should only focus on applying blush on the apples of your cheeks to create an innocent and youthful look. Dab a little blush on the top of your nose just to create a red feeling like when you are drunk. In particular, to create the effect of naturally rosy cheeks, you should choose cream blush products.

Light eye makeup

You can also use blush on your eyes for a natural look. Accentuate your Igari look by adding a little shimmer to your eyes. Finish it off with a soft line of black or brown eyeliner and mascara to accentuate your eyes.

Plump lips

You should choose a lip gloss for your lips to add an innocent, sweet look. Soft and plump lips are also a characteristic of the blush style. Light, youthful lipstick colors such as peach orange, pink red... will contribute to enhancing the natural beauty of the face.
