Knowing the right way to apply blush to your face using the right make-up brush makes all the difference, but you also have to choose the right color. Find out the ideal blush tone for each skin type.


Pink white skin

The ideal blush for fair skin is very soft orange, more peachy. These shades highlight the face, disguising the pink of the skin.

Yellowish white skin

For women with yellowish white skin, the ideal is to bet on blush with pink tones to break the yellow background of the skin. Avoid the shade of peach blush, they do not match this skin color.

Olive skin

Olive skin is a type of light yellowish brown skin with a slightly greenish background. The ideal blush for light brown skin should be peach or burnt pink to give the face a healthier and more natural look.

Brown skin

The dark skin has a shade between white and black. This makes it easier to get the color right. The shades of pink and bronze in more nuanced shades are the ideal blush colors for dark skin, as they give a healthier and more natural look to this type of skin. Just be careful not to choose an open shade with a very orange background and overload the skin.

Black skin

The ideal blush for black skin should be in colors such as dark brown, coffee brown, burnt pink and terracotta. Orange, salmon and peach do not match dark skin, avoid.
