The ‘douyin’ blush trend is taking TikTok by storm.
With over 10 million views on the platform, it has outranked the ‘sunburn’ blush trend which has just over 1 million views.
The technique is to use tactical placement which will help you achieve the perfect sun-kissed-skin look.

The trend, which originated in China, gets its name for the Chinese term for TikTok – ‘douyin’.
To obtain the look, take a liquid blush to either your bare face or on top of a makeup base.
Create small ‘v’ shapes on the high points of your cheekbones, chin and the tip of your nose.
Then, use the blush to create two more ‘v’ shapes, pointing outwards from the corners of your eyes towards your ears.

Blend the cream product out using either a damp beauty blender or your fingers.
Use the product sparingly – keep in mind that you can’t remove product from your makeup base, but you can always add more if you haven’t achieved your desired rosiness.
It’s important to use a good cream/liquid blush to try out this hack, as a powder blush won’t achieve the same dewy effect.
