Everything You Need to Know About Applying Blush on Dark Skin Tones

If the thought of using a cream blush makes you want to run for the hills, you have options. For more coverage from a blush, Jaikaran said to opt for a powder or liquid. Because powder formulas can be a bit more pigmented than creams, they tend to show up a little easier on deep skin tones. If you have oily skin or just love matte makeup, powder blush would be perfect for you.

If you want a bit of dew but still prefer massive color payoff, liquid blushes may be the go-to formula. Liquid blush "gives such a beautiful, fresh, flushed look to the skin," makeup artist Shannon Pezzetta previously told POPSUGAR. The artist, who has worked with clients like Marsai Martin, said that her favorite liquid blush to use on the star is Nars Liquid Blush in Dolce Vita ($30). "That is the best blush, especially for darker tones," she said.
