How To Choose a Blush Color

If you've ever wondered, "What color blush should I wear?" Or "What color of blush looks best on me?" "You are not alone. With TikTok buzzing with trends like "boyfriend blush" and "sunset blush," rosy cheeks are having a big moment. While it's fun to experiment with these trends, many of us are still looking for which colors look the most natural and enhance our unique skin tone. Whether you like liquids, creams, or foundation, the right blush can brighten your skin tone, create a healthy glow, and even subtly shape your face.

In this guide, we'll share tips on how to match blush to your skin tone and offer advice on how to choose the best blush for a beautiful, natural flush. In addition, we've revealed some details of our favorite blush recipes that are worth checking out the next time you need to replenish your stock.

If you're trying to figure out how to find the right blush color for your features, there are two things you need to determine first: your skin tone and undertone. Skin tone refers to the light or dark pigment of your skin and is usually classified as fair, medium, olive, and dark. An Undertone, on the other hand, refers to the overall tone of your skin, which can be cool, warm, or neutral.

It doesn't take much time to figure out your skin tone - all you really need to do is look in the mirror and determine if your skin is light, dark, or somewhere in between. Dark colors are a little different. One of the easiest ways to find your bottom note is to look at the veins on the inside of your wrist. If they are blue or purple, you may have a cool tone. On the other hand, a green hue usually represents a warm hue. If you see a mix of blue and green, or if the color is not obvious, you may have a neutral undertone.

At this point, you're probably still wondering, "What color blush looks good on me?" While there are no hard and fast rules you have to follow (makeup is all about experimentation!) But you will usually prefer the tone that best suits your skin undertone. So if you have cool skin, you'll want to opt for cool blush. A warm blush works well against warm skin tones. Those with neutral tones have the flexibility to choose a wider range of shades - lucky you!

Below, we'll explain more about how to choose blush based on your skin tone and introduce you to some of our favorite blush recipes.
