Choose a suitable color for your skin tone. When choosing a blush color, it's important to pick one that matches your natural skin tone.
This means that the color you pick should be as close as possible to the color your cheeks turn when you're naturally flushed. Picking a color that doesn't match your skin tone can cause your blush to look unnatural and even garish.
A good tip for identifying your natural coloring is to make a tight fist with your hand for about ten seconds. The color that develops across your knuckles is the ideal color for your blush!
In general, pale skin tones will work best with light pink which mimics their natural flush. For a more dramatic look, peaches and mochas can work well.
Sallower skin tones will do best with orange or reddish-pink blushes which brighten the skin, adding a healthy glow.
Dark skin tones can get away with vivid oranges, pinks and reds which add a pop of life and color.
