Girls love wearing blush and getting a pop of colour on their cheeks but did you know there is a trend called Blush and eyebrow blindness? what do these terms mean? Simply put, blush blindness occurs when someone applies an excessive amount of blush, resulting in a look that’s more clownish than chic. Many of us have looked back at old photos and cringed, realizing we were guilty of this makeup mishap. It’s not a new trend either; eyebrow blindness has been around for ages and Kriti Sanon, Alia Bhatt have been an old victim of this trend.
Remember the soap brow trend or the thick, filled-in brows of the 2010s? Those were prime times for eyebrow blindness, where people overdid their brows, making them look more like caterpillars than a natural part of their face. These trends have led to a pressing question: How much is too much when it comes to blush and brows?
Kriti Sanon’s Eyebrow Blindness
Kriti Sanon, the gorgeous Bollywood actress, has often fallen victim to eyebrow blindness. There have been times when her brows looked overly thick and heavily filled in, stealing the spotlight from her otherwise stunning features. While thick brows can frame the face beautifully, going overboard can make them look unnatural and, let’s be honest, a bit intimidating.

Alia Bhatt’s Blush Blindness
Alia Bhatt, another Bollywood favourite, hasn’t escaped the blush blindness trap. There have been occasions when she’s sported blush that’s way too bright or applied too generously, making her cheeks stand out more than her lovely smile. Blush is meant to add a healthy flush to the face, but too much can make it look like you’ve been running a marathon—or worse, like you’ve raided a clown’s makeup kit.

How to Avoid Blush and Eyebrow Blindness
So, how can we avoid these common makeup pitfalls? Here are some fun and easy tips:
1. Light Hand, More Control: When applying blush, start with a small amount and build up if necessary. You can always add more, but it’s harder to tone it down once it’s on.
2. Blend: Blending is key to a natural look. Use a good blush brush to blend out any harsh lines.
3. Natural Brows: For your brows, aim for a natural look. Use light, feathery strokes with your brow pencil or powder to mimic the appearance of real hair.
4. Choose the Right Shade: Make sure the shade of your blush complements your skin tone. A soft pink or peach is usually a safe bet for most skin tones.
The next time you pick up your makeup brush, remember to go easy on the blush and keep those brows in check or don’t and do whatever you feel like, makeup is all about having fun.
