These Are the Best No-Fail Blushes For Your Skin Tone

Jun 20 2017 - 5:00pm

It's never a bad time to refresh your makeup routine, especially if you've just gotten the kind of expert opinion that can change it all for the better [1]. While the blush you've had in your makeup bag for years (yes, that one someone at Sephora recommended or you chose because your mom or sister wore it [2]), the right choice for your skin tone could help turn your entire look around [3].

We spoke to Gilbert Soliz, Marc Jacobs Beauty global makeup artist, and got him to break down the one and only blush you need to bring out your natural flush. Here is what he said.

For Very Fair Skin

"Latinas with fair complexions want to play with opposites. Go with neon or bright pastel pinks," says Soliz. "These will create a very natural and soft flush on the skin."

Try:

Marc Jacobs Beauty Air Blush Soft Glow Duo in 500 Lush & Libido [5] ($42)

For Fair to Medium Complexions

"Fair and medium skin tones require light peach or soft rosy shades to create the perfect balance of color and contour," says Soliz. "The softer hues mimic a natural flush when applied to the apples of the cheek."

Try:

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Captivating [6] ($28)

For Medium to Olive Skin Tones

"To give medium and olive skin tones added warmth and a natural glow, use neutral pink or bronzy peach shades. For added shimmer, use a blush that contains a hint of golden sparkle," recommends Soliz.

Try:

Benefit Cosmetics Dandelion Box o'Powder Blush [7] ($29)

For Dark Complexions

"Berry and brick red shades are the way to go! They will liven up the skin without overpowering it and leave your complexion beautiful and radiant," says Soliz.
