A festive new makeup trend is sweeping Tiktok, just in time for the holiday season — candy cane blush! Started by makeup artist and content creator, @samanthaa.nicole, this trend is just as cute as it sounds.
Samantha posted a short video of herself creating the candy blush look using both liquid blush and highlighter. She swiped six short lines of a red blush and a pearly white highlighter on her cheek, then mixed them together for a gorgeous, shimmery holiday blush look.
Though the look is simple, her audience loved the festive-vibe and pearly-rose color that it gave her cheeks. The #CandyCaneBlush has over 200 videos underneath, with countless other makeup artists and enthusiasts trying out the look along side their favorite holiday glam. This look is not only gorgeous, but so simple to recreate!
