1. Au Natural
If you want a little colour but want to look natural, look in the mirror after a workout, run or any other physical activity that gives your cheeks a natural blush. Then, match your blush colour to the colour on your cheeks. Go one step darker and you’ve got the perfect blush without looking artificial.
2. Toned
Keep your skin tone in mind when you’re choosing a blush. Just because you love a particular shade of wine or burgundy, doesn’t mean it will look good on you, especially if you have fair skin. Corals and pinks match fairer skin better while deeper shades match deeper skin tones.
3. Match it
Remember not to wear a blush that’s so different from your lipstick that you end up resembling a clown. For example, if your lipstick colour is a soft pink, don’t make up your cheeks in a strong red or wine colour blush and vice versa.
4. A little tint
Choose a tinted moisturiser if you want your face to glow. There’s usually a lot of moisturiser in these so only opt for them if you don’t have very oily skin, want a very subtle tint and not an overly shiny look.
5. Creams & powders
So you’ve picked your colour — but what about the type of blush? Choose a powder based blush for a day look and a cream or gel based blush for a night look. If you have oily skin, it’s best to stay away from anything that is too oily, so powder blushes work best. Opt for a glitter based one for a night look.
