Picture this: you catch your reflection in the morning light and see a subtle, soft flush that looks like your skin, just waking up from a brisk walk. No harsh lines, no paint—just glow.

That effect? It’s called “flushed from within,” and it’s blowing up beauty feeds fast.

Here’s why: it feels honest, healthy, like you really woke up that radiant, and Admigos knows how to show that in motion.

The Science Behind Subtle, Inner Glow

Makeup artists have recently embraced underpainting—applying blush under foundation or concealer—for that “inner radiance” effect. The blush peeks through, softens red zones, and mimics real-life flush.

As Vogue puts it, this technique “gives a wonderful flush-from-within feel”. It looks lived-in, like your cheeks naturally bloom with colour.

Tint Under Foundation: Visual Magic

The charming hack? Layer a cream or liquid blush directly on the apples of the cheeks (and even under the eyes for that gentle “Igari” flush style) before applying foundation. This creates:

Reddit users love how the effect looks:

“I use foundations with neutral, yellow undertones, and this adds some natural flush back…in a soft, controlled way”

Blush Layering: Cream, Foundation, Powder

If that’s not enough: layer your blush again over the base for extra flush and control (cream under, powder over). It locks in warmth and adds depth, especially when topped with a final shimmering highlighter for that “lit-from-within” finish.

Celeb MUA’s like Gucci Westman and Sydney Sweeney’s makeup artist confirm this tactic brightens undereye zones and avoids the “overdone” trap.

“Igari” & Undereye Blush: Youthful Dimension

The trend called Igari blush, or “under-eye flush,” adds youthful charm. TikTok’s #I'mCold trend shows cream blush lightly brushed across cheeks and bridge of nose, bringing naturalness and brightness back to the face.

And K-pop idols like Yoonchae Jeung have popularised placing a soft pink flush under the eyes for lift and cuteness.

The effect feels like your skin just woke up, caught in real light.
