Pinterest Predicts is like a roadmap to all of 2025's sure-to-be trends. Much like the ready-to-wear runways, Google Trends and The Lyst Index, it helps us keep an eye out for what's about to break out in a big way. We've already covered a couple of developing fashion crazes — moto boho and castlecore. The annual report also identified potential beauty obsessions, including what it's dubbed "aura beauty." One of the key indicators is the fact that searches for "purple blush makeup" jumped over 30 percent. Although finding the perfect purple blushes for your skin tone is no easy feat.
Whether your complexion is fair, light, medium, olive or deep, there's a purple blush with your name on it. You also have a choice when it comes to formulas ranging from liquids to powders to balms and even creams. Prices basically stay in the same spectrum, starting at $18 and going up to $38. (The latter actually comes with a blush brush so it's even more of a bargain.)
Keep reading to uncover the best purple blushes to try your hand at creating your very own aura beauty look.
