Orange blush is not a run-of-the-mill shade. In fact, it is not just one singular shade. Orange blushes include everything from soft peachy shades to bright corals and striking tangerine, mango, and papaya hues. Because of its wide variety, when used in blush form, orange is widely believed to be one of the most universally flattering colors, meaning it works well on all skin tones.

For the summer, most people tend to gravitate towards the most vibrant shades, not surprisingly. We have seen sorbet-like colors trending in both nail colors and sandal designs this year, and blush would be no exception. Brighter blushes tend to work better on deeper or tan skin tones, but those with fairer skin can also join in the fun if you want a bolder look — just make sure to use a soft hand!

This year, BLACKPINK’s Rosé has established herself as the queen of the orange blush trend, rocking the color consistently since the beginning of the year. The star was spotted attending a Saint Laurent event in March, rocking a subtle version of the trend, which she then amped up for the brand’s show in Paris.

Since then, she’s worn the shade everywhere, from the Met Gala and Coachella to music videos and BLACKPINK’s tour, often going for a striking under-eye placement, which is popular in South Korea.
