Skin Deep shares our secrets for selecting and applying the perfect blush for you. Finding a pretty blush shade is simple because there are so many options, but what you need is a blush that best fits you: your skin tone, skin type and face shape.
Skin tone:
Not everyone has the same skin tone so follow these tips and picks for the best blush for your individual skin tone.
- Golden Undertones: Pinks and reds will brighten your complexion and add a nice pop of color to your overall look.
- Natural Undertones: You can pull off any shade! No need to worry about the perfect blush color. Go for whatever suits your fancy on any given day.
- Pink Undertones: Stick with peach, terra cotta or mocha colors to help minimize redness in your skin.
- Darker Complexions: For a breathtaking pinch of color to light up the face use a dusty rose with a subtle shimmer.
Skin type:
For the most natural-looking blush application, be sure to know your skin’s texture.
- Dry Skin: The perfect blush will be a cream formula.
- Oily Skin: Go with a powder formula.
Face Shape:
Once you’ve got the perfect blush for your skin tone and skin type the next step is to realize blush should be applied differently for each face shape to achieve the most flattering, natural look.
- Round: Keep the blush color on your cheek bones and pull it up and out to the temple. This will help elongate the face. You can also add a bit of bronze to the hollows of your cheeks and under your jaw line to provide definition.
- Heart: Apply blush right below the apple and blend up and out to accentuate bone structure and help square out the face.
- Long/Oval: Keep the blush color focused right beneath the apple without pulling out to the temple. This will add dimension giving the appearance that the face has more roundness to it.
