Transition Blush Tutorial for Beginners — No New Products Needed

Transition blush is the technique blowing up all over beauty TikTok right now and it has sparked a full-blown controversy. Here's how to actually do it, step by step, plus my honest take on the Patrick Ta vs Painted by Esther drama. In this video I break down the viral transition blush technique... the layered, blurred, under-eye-to-cheek placement that Painted by Esther made recently famous and walk you through getting that airbrushed gradient flush with products you probably already own. Then I get into the drama: the Patrick Ta Transition Blurring Blush Duo launch, and the "who actually started this" debate.

Works across every skin tone and leans into glowy, dimensional skin over heavy contour.
