Another beauty trend has made its way into fall, and it’s perfect for those of us who want to keep that sun-kissed glow well beyond summer. Enter “blonzing,” the viral blush-and-bronzer hybrid technique that’s been sweeping TikTok. But don’t let the platform fool you—the blonzing trend is ideal for women over 50, too.
What Is The Blonzing Trend?
Blonzing combines blush and bronzer to give your skin a warm, natural glow, mimicking that healthy summer tan. It’s an easy way to keep your complexion radiant as the cooler months set in. Even better, many brands now offer products called “blonzers,” which are cream bronzers in warm terracotta shades designed to be applied across your cheeks, temples, eyelids. and even your lips. These multitasking products make it simple to maintain that glow without extra steps.

1. Using a bronzing brush, apply a cream bronzer or a warm-toned blush (think terracotta or peach) to areas where the sun naturally hits—your temples, nose, and the high points of your cheeks.
2. Blend well to avoid harsh lines. The key is to achieve a soft, glowing finish that looks effortlessly natural.
3. For an extra touch of warmth, add a small amount to your eyelids and lips to complete the summer glow.
The result? A radiant, fresh look that seems like you’ve just returned from a sunny getaway—even if you’ve spent your day indoors. This simple technique is the perfect way to add a bit of warmth to your fall beauty routine while embracing a timeless, youthful glow.
