• STEP 5: Match the undertones in your lipstick to the color of your blush. If your
lips are red, opt for a pink or reddish cheek color. For pink or rose-colored lips,
opt for similar hues in your blush color.

Tips & Warnings

• Avoid choosing a color just because you think it looks pretty in the case. To
enhance your beauty, it must complement your coloring.
• Consider bronzer as an alternative to blush. Applied to all areas of the face, it
gives a sun-kissed glow without any damaging rays.

How to Choose a Blush Color

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Blush has long been considered a beauty must. With just a few brush strokes, you can lift
a flat or pale complexion to a pretty glow.

Instructions

• STEP 1: Consider blush colors that match the color of your cheeks after an
aerobic workout. Such shades mimic your natural coloring and help you avoid
having cheeks that look painted or artificial.
• STEP 2: Head to a department store and have a makeup artist assist you in
finding a complementary shade. Check your options in natural lighting whenever
possible.
• STEP 3: Remember, the darker your skin tone, the darker your blush should be.
Women with fair complexions usually look best in pink or coral shades, while
darker complexions are enhanced by wine or burgundy hues.
• STEP 4: Keep daytime blush light in tone. Opt for a heavier application to create
a more dramatic evening look.
• STEP 5: Match the undertones in your lipstick to the color of your blush. If your
lips are red, opt for a pink or reddish cheek color. For pink or rose-colored lips,
opt for similar hues in your blush color.
