The key is to choose something that's close to your natural flush and the best way to figure out what that is is to pinch your cheeks. If you're still not sure, here are some tips for finding your best shade:. If you have very pale, fair skin , opt for light pinks for a pretty flush of color that won't overpower your tone.
Pale pink and lilac formulas give a sheer wash of color that flatter your light complexion without looking garish. A safe bet? If you have light-medium skin , choose a peachy pink shade to give your skin a pretty glow. Since this shade is universally flattering, if you're in doubt, try it in your desired formula. For golden or olive skin tones, the warm undertones to the skin can stand up to brighter, punchier pinks. We like Revlon Cream Blush in Flushed for these medium skin tones. Darker skin tones can go for brighter hues with warm undertones, like a bright apricot, to deliver an ethereal glow and truly radiant results.
Try Milani Baked Blush in Corallina — While the shade seems bright, it buffs into the skin for a natural look. Picking the right blush is about more than just the shade — you need to find the perfect formula, too. There are three types of blushes: powders, creams, and stains. If you have oily skin , a cheek stain works well. Stains look dewy and last for ages, even if you tend to sweat or have oil-prone skin.
Apply a little at a time — once it sets into your skin, it's hard to blend out hence the name! If you have normal or combination skin , creamy formulas are great and have high staying power. Cream blush is easy to use for most skin types, comes in tons of colors, and gives skin a fresh, youthful look. If you have dry skin, stick with a powder formula. Powder blush is great for gliding over pores for a blurring effect and despite popular belief, stains and creams aren't so great for dry skin: They can crack when they dry, which exacerbates the look of dryness.
It's true that your makeup will only look as good as the tools you apply it with, and "if you're going to spend money on any tools, spend it on a blush brush! Swirl the brush in product and be sure to tap off any excess before applying to your face so you don't wind up with a big dab of color on your cheek.
Blush is meant to strategically accent your face, which means you need to take your bone structure into account before applying it in the first place. Heart-shaped faces: If your face is long with prominent cheekbones and a narrow chin, you likely have a heart-shaped face. Apply blush in a "C" shape from the top of the temple down to the cheekbone. Use more product along the cheekbone, then diffuse it up towards the temple, pushing it in and upwards.
