Makeup 101 : How To Pick The Right Blush

If you have natural flush on your cheeks then I envy you. 🙂 For me, my skin tone is close to be considered  as  fair, so when I have nothing on my face, or when I just have foundation on, I look like a ghost with no color.  For a quick pick me up, I simply dab a darker powder to add at least a little warmth to my face.  But when I really, really want to add the “right” color on my face, of course I grab my blush.

Blush is the easiest way to change your pale looking face – be it from pale complexion or just plain tired – into something more alive by putting a little bit of ‘life’ onto your cheeks. A healthy looking face always looks a little flush on the cheeks.
