Makeup can be tricky, but blush is a product that a fair amount of people struggle with. Probably one of the oldest forms of makeup, blush can easily be overdone, put in the wrong spot, or simply the wrong color all of which can make you look similar to a clown.
To pick the right color blush you should go off of your skin tone. If you have fair skin don’t get carried away with overly vibrant shades, and try to stick with colors that are subtle. A soft pink, peach, or light coral will enhance your porcelain skin just right. Consider a cream blush that yields a natural finish without being overpowering.
For medium skin tones pinks and peaches are your best bet. You’ll want to take these colors a step further by applying two colors, one darker and one lighter, or layering until you reach your desired vibrancy. A rich pink, and even certain shades of mauve, will leave you with a dramatic edge–especially when you apply blush on the apples of your cheeks.
Beauties with dark skin tones should opt for deep shades of red, orange, and brown. These colors, unlike light powder pinks, will leave you looking radiant instead of washed out. Try a fuchsia if your skin tone tends to be warmer; a bold tangerine if it is cooler.
