Understanding undertones first
Skin undertones are generally cool, warm, or neutral. Looking at the veins on your wrist and considering how your skin reacts to gold or silver jewelry can help you start narrowing down a flattering family.
Best blush shades by skin tone
Cool undertones often pair naturally with rosy and berry shades. Warm undertones can try peach, coral, or terracotta. Neutral undertones can move between rosy, peachy, and nude tones.
Where to apply blush
Start on the apples of the cheeks and blend upward toward the temples for a lifted look. Keep the placement soft and build color gradually.
Compact or palette?
A compact keeps a favorite shade simple and portable. A palette gives you room to layer, blend, or switch up your look.
