Blush for skin tone? Right you read it right.. We must have heard skin tone dry, oily combination skin undertone warm cool but skin tone for blush? Let’s see How to Choose the Right Blush For Your Skin Tone in today’s post.
If you analyse it, the best blush for anyone is a colour similar to the natural colour of their cheeks when blood rushes in when they are giddy or embarrassed. It would normally be a berry shade because of the way blood looks underneath the skin and veins.

Following that pointer, the berry shade you choose would depend on how fair or how dark you are, but before we even get there, let’s talk about undertones. It’s important to note that yellow olive undertones will compliment a warmer colour and pink blue undertones will compliment a cooler, more blue-based colour.
Fair Skin tone
For fair skinned ladies, a light pink to peach colour would be good options for that naturally look.

Thanks for this. I have to say I don’t really wear blush that often, I’m not quite sure where to put it or what color would look good on me.
While buying blush i always match it with my skin. Most of the time I get hands on peachy dark shade.
I have no idea about these things as I have never used or bought it for someone. I will share this with my wife and will let you what she feels about it.
Under tones play a salient role in choosing perfect blush for different skin tones. Thanks for this informative post

I haven’t bought a blush yet and generally use creme lipsticks for the same purpose… But I really wanted to get a proper blush! This is helpful! Thank you!
That’s a good info, I will keep this in mind next time I buy the blush.
I don’t wear blush because I have rosacea. But it’s good to know that I should wear a berry shade if I were to wear it.
I don’t wear blush because I have rosacea and my cheeks are usually a bit red. But it’s good to know that I should choose a berry shade were I to wear it!
even though I’m not a make up person, I never knew there was blush for skin tone. I guess that explains why some people look like clowns. Haha! They obviously aren’t aware. This would be helpful for them.

Choosing the right blush is so important. Mac is one of my favourite beauty brands, love their blushes and lip glosses!
thanks! very useful! blush is great to make face look more relaxed and fresh
This is good to know. I am not really a make-up person so, I really do not have an idea. I have fair skin tone so will keep in mind to look for the light pink to peach colour.
I use ark berry and deep red as blush and lipstick tones too. All colours suit dark skin but these ones are best.
Great guide! It is always best to choose the right shades for your skin tone. Thank you for your tips. Now I know which ones to get next time.
Very useful information. Using a wrong blush makes the whole make-up look bad. These pointers to choose the right color is handy.
I love a bit of blush, especially at the moment when I’m spending so much time inside! I’m fair with red hair so I tend to move between an apricot Glossier Cloud Paint for a natural look, a light bronzy Physician’s Formula butter blush when I’ve had a bit of sun (it smells delicious too!) and of course Nars Orgasm for a bit of shimmery flush! x
Nice information. Thanks!
