But what's the point of wearing a purple blush if it always blends out to pink?
Speaker A
As one of the first creators to bring purple blush to TikTok, I feel like
Speaker A
It's now my duty to re-explain the color theory behind it.
Speaker A
First, I'm going to answer why they blend out more pinky, and then I'm going to answer who this blush is really for.
Speaker A
The main reasoning is simple: most purple blushes on the market are a mixture of pink and a little bit of blue, therefore making the purple blush a pretty warm-toned purple blush.
Speaker A
But that blue will help the color pull more purple because I think people forget.
Speaker A
You can have warm purple, you could have a neutral purple, and you can even have a cool purple.
Speaker A
Even though purple blush blends out pinkish, purple blush is really for the girlies with neutral or olive undertones.
Speaker A
Because if you have olive skin, you have more presence of the yellow pheomelanin, and purple and yellow are complementary colors.
Speaker A
So, if you want to get that pretty baby doll pink effect like I have on here.
Speaker A
That extra blueness in the purple helps it pull like a cool baby doll pink effect.
Speaker A
That I would not usually get by wearing a regular pink blush.
Speaker A
But now, is purple blush for everyone?
Speaker A
No, but if you find that sometimes pink blush like this always ends up looking a little bit like a warm pink or even an orange pink, that's where the purple blush comes in handy.
Speaker A
I definitely put on more than I usually would for this demonstration.
Speaker A
I have the NYX Blueberry Burst purple blush on my right side and the NYX Plum Pop blush on my left side, but let me know which side you prefer in the comments.
