It’s all over the internet, and it seems to be very flattering regardless of the skin tone. What is the spice pumpkin blush holiday hack roaming people’s feed nowadays?
Far from turning you into a pumpkin, this holiday makeup hack will glam up your look even more! The Pumpkin Spice Blush effect gives you an effortless and cozy look, embracing warm shades of burnt orange, terracotta, cinnamon, peach, and soft brown. The end goal is not to make the cheeks look literally orange. Instead, the blush is blended with bronzer or contour products so the overall color looks toasted, sun-warmed, and slightly earthy. Think leaves of fall.

The Perfect Blush
First thing’s first. Find the perfect brush as the focal point of your look.
The Pumpkin Spice Blush effect takes the warm, comforting colors you apply on your cheeks and blends them with burnt orange and terracotta tones for a toasted, cinnamon-like flush.
If you have fair to light skin, look for soft apricot, peachy terracotta, muted cinnamon, warm coral, or light burnt orange tones. These will give your skin a toasty glow without using too much brown to overpower the overall look. Use a sheer formula so that you can control product layering completely.
Find your match:
– Sunnies Face Blush On – Licorice
– Guerlain Terracotta Blush – 02 Light Coral
For medium to tan skin, slightly richer shades like terracotta, rust, cinnamon, warm brick, copper-peach, and burnt orange work add the perfect contrast to enhance your features.
Find your match:
– Anastasia Beverly Hills Stick Blush – Peach Caramel
– Issy Crème Flush Stick – Flick
Finally, for brown to deep skin, go deeper and more saturated. Check colors like deep terracotta, brick orange, burnt sienna, reddish cinnamon, copper, paprika, or orange-brown. Take note that very pale peachy pumpkins can disappear or turn ashy, so shades with more red, brown, and pigment will compliment your skin better.
Find your match:
– Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge Velvet Matte – Maple
– Colourette Colourtint – Ginger
Making that Look Come to Life
The point of the Pumpkin Blush Spice look is a toasted, earthy effect that mirrors the colors of the fall. Bronzer is the ingredient that makes Pumpkin Spice Blush toasted feel work, giving it a fresh, dewy glow. As a finishing touch, add contour underneath for definition and depth.

– RMS Bikini Beach, recommended for deep skin
Don’t forget to have fun when you put that look together! Enjoy the holiday season!
