How To Pick the Right Shade of Blush for Your Skin Tone

Blush is back in a major way. But how do you pick the best shade for your complexion? Because the goal is to make the rest of your face appear brighter and look fresher, a hue that matches the color of your cheeks when you have a natural flush is optimal. The right shade of blush can warm up your complexion, create the illusion of cheekbones, and even make you look younger—definitely all desired makeup results.
