The right blush color is going to warm up your complexion and add a glow. But with a wide range of shades that includes pinks, peaches, berries and red; it can get overwhelming to select the one which complements your skin tone. Before getting started it would be a good idea to know your skin tone which ranges from fair, medium, olive and dark complexions.
The Right Blush Color According to Your Skin Tone
Fair skin
Pale pink or baby pink is the colour that goes nicely for people with lighter skin. If you have a fair skin tone then choose softer blush colors. One of our recommended blushes is this baby pink which will give a subtle, everyday flush. It sets the perfect tone for work meetings, a hang-out with friends, and everything in between.

Another universally flattering blush color on our list for fair skin tones is peach. Anyone can put on peach and look fantastic but looks loveliest on ladies with lighter skin tone. This is also because it has orange and yellow tones that enhance the natural flush.
Medium Skin
Although you can wear whatever blush color that you damn please, but with plenty of shades to choose from, we will help you find a few universal colours that work well on a medium skin tone spectrum. Pinks and peaches work well for every skin tone. However, for the medium complexion, you will have to apply these on more to ensure that the colour is pigmented enough.

You can also go for berry as this shade is soft, delicate and pretty. If you are going for a more dramatic look then an apricot shade and a rich mauve will work well. Always test it out on the apples of your cheeks to see how it looks.
Olive Skin
This skin tone is unique and at times challenging to find the perfect blush color that truly enhances your features. Peach will look flattering but make sure you select a warm peach rather than a cool one. Rose is another color that works to give a seamless finish on olive tones. Another hot favourite is bronze but it has to be applied carefully for natural-looking contours.

Dark Skin
You may struggle to find the right shade that works well on a dark skin tone. This is because it needs to be quite bold and pigmented. If you don’t go for something highly pigmented, your final look will only appear faded. The key is to look for a blush that is bright and bold in its packaging, then chances are that this is a shade that will work for you. Anything with shades of red, orange and brown will flatter your skin tone.
