5 Blushes To Glow Like You Were Painted By Esther Herself

What do Olandria Carthan, CoCo Jones, and Kelly Rowland have in common? They've all been swept into the color-happy world of Esther "Painted by Esther" Ngozi Edeme. Her viral under-eye blush trick has turned timelines into full-on swatches of pink, coral, berry, and peach. The technique gives you an ethereal goddess aesthetic that makes it hard not to want to repeat every time. You place blush right under the eye so it lifts your face, wakes up your look, and brings that soft pop of color that refuses to be shy.

It's the kind of trend that makes blush blindness feel right again. That moment where you dip back into the product even though you swore you were done. You add a little extra, then look in the mirror like, "Wait, this might be my new personality."

For years, women of color like me were told blush didn't belong in our makeup bag, that certain shades only worked for certain undertones. This trend proves that the thought was completely nonsensical.

Painted by Esther often reaches for cream blush because it melts into the skin and blends effortlessly. If powders feel more comfortable, spray your brush with a little setting spray before dipping in. This softens the edges and helps the color sit on the skin rather than float above it.

Myricks told Swimsuit Magazine that "blush placement is way more playful right now," and that she loves how red blush looks beautiful on every skin tone.
