While this seems simple enough, the reality is that it can take some trial and error to get the perfect combination, depending on how much of each you use, and to ensure it mixes evenly. With the festive season to attend, you might not have time to experiment too much, but this look is just perfect for all your festive outfits. We took it upon ourselves to try the candy cane blush hack and report back our findings, so you can succeed on your first (or maybe second) try.

So, here’s how to get the look. To get started, you need the right equipment. You can use any red blush and white highlighter you have on hand, but if you don’t have one, many TikTok users opt for Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Cheek Tint in “Blazing red» and the Luminous Silk Acqua highlighter in “Halo.” Using this combo worked well for us. But, while some people applied multiple lines of product directly to their face, we found that you didn’t need to use that much (although admittedly, it makes for a pretty visual). Red is already a bold color and this blush is particularly pigmented and spreadable, so you can apply it sparingly and get the most out of each bottle.
