Blush for your Tone

Still wondering what blush to match your shade? Are you one of those girls who cant seem to know what blush shade would flatter their skin tone? Grab a lil' of my few tips and tricks to know how to help you get not the wrong shade on your next blush purchase.

Tip #1

Facing a mirror and without any makeup on,pinch your cheeks gently until it turns pink. What blush color do you see? 

Tip #2

The tip above has the best efficiency when done early in the morning after you woke up. 

Tip #3

Ladies,you know this! After working out,check in the mirror to see if you blushed. Normally,when you perspire,your body heats up and your cheeks turn pink.  The color you see on your cheeks is your most natural shade of blush. 

Tip #4

Tip #3 is also the same when you eat a super spicy meal. And also when you see your crush! :)

Now that you saw your true blush color,wait,do you know what your skintone is? Here,Ive done a few illustrations on what blush shade accentuates common skintones.

Mostly Russian or people from the UK sports this color as their weather is usually cold. Light pink or pink apricot with a bluish undertone would suit them best. 

American or Canadian ladies naturally has either fair,porcelain or deep skintone. Usually,if you're an American with a fair tone,stick to rosy pinks with a blue undertone but if you're fair and you're Asian,stick to orangey pinks.

If you have skin in a medium color,still,its all about if youve got a warm or cool undertone like the ones above. But then,brownish pinks would suit this color best. Dont every try too bright pink if you want to look natural!

Need I repeat this again and again? Again,if you have a tan skintone but you're caucasian and youre usually red without makeup,stick to brownish rose with a blue undertone. And if you're tan and asian and you look dull and yellow without makeup on,get a brownish rose with an orange/peach undertone.

Now if you're African or a black American and you really have a deep color,putting on a red blush would be great. 

"The key idea here is,if you have a light skintone,choose a blush that's light and will blend in with your skintone. If you have a dark skintone,choose a blush that is slightly dark and would stick with your natural shade. Again,Im VainVictoria and thank you for reading overthecontour.blgspot!"
