Blush Colors for your Skin

Peach: The most universally flattering, can’t-go-wrong blush shade.

Fair Skin:
Choose a pale pink or peach-colored blush for a bright, fresh look.

Pale Pink
Soft pink shades complements fair skin perfectly, creating the most natural “no-makeup” makeup look with flushed cheeks.

Sheer Plum
Try a sheer plum for a more dramatic evening look. Plum shades, with purple or blue undertones work well for those with fair skin.

Medium Skin:
As a rule of thumb for medium skin tones, stay away from blushes that are lighter than your face.

Apricot
Apricot with a hint of orange is flattering and subtle.

Mauve
A muted mauve that is rich and renders depth to medium skin.

Olive Skin:
Reach for blushes with a warm undertone.

Orangey Peach
A warm peach shade will make olive skin glow. It helps balance out olive tones by adding warmth to your skin tone.

Rose
Rose is the perfect everyday shade of pink for olive complexions. A deeper rose is the best blush for those with olive skin.

Dark Skin:
Bold is always best when it comes to blush for deep skin. Stick with warmer tones and don’t be afraid to use bold and highly pigmented colours.

Brick
Go for a rich brick shade if you have dark skin. Deep terra-cotta looks gorgeous on your complexion. They might look super pigmented in the pan, but don’t be scared.

Bright Tangerine
For those with dark skin, it’s the best way to get a true flush that is subtle yet beautiful.
