Dayblush

/ˈdeɪˌblʌʃ/ noun

Definition

A cosmetic product or natural flush of color on the cheeks that appears or is applied during daylight hours.

Etymology

Compound of 'day' and 'blush,' referring to makeup worn during daytime as opposed to evening cosmetics. This term reflects beauty terminology evolution.

Kelly Says

Dayblush formulations in modern cosmetics are actually engineered differently than evening blushes—they're lighter in pigment because daylight brightens colors, so makeup artists have to compensate in different ways.
