If the spring/summer 2025 shows are any indication, blush is back. But not just any blush, mind. This season, purple is the colour du jour, gracing the under-eye area at 3.1. Phillip Lim as well as the lips at Romy Soleimani and Carolina Herrera. And that’s far from all. The celebrity sphere was not exempt from this movement, with stars in the vein of Rihanna, Olivia Munn, and Jang Won Young from IVE sporting the vibrant hue on their cheeks. This does, however, beg the question: is it a shade that is suited for everyone?
The general consensus is that there is a right shade of purple out there for everyone, with the colour being a safe bet for those with deeper complexions. Those with lighter complexions can look to more pastel, lilac options, or perhaps one with a shimmery finish. After all, the intentionality of a glitter-imbued texture means that there is no second-guessing if it is blush or a bruise.
