How can I find the perfect blush for my skin tone?

Asked by Hales (4points) April 8th, 2018

I’m pretty pale, light hair, green eyes. I feel like I always look a bit clown-ish when I try to use blush. Any advice?

For a pale skin, you should go with a pinkish blush and use it sparingly.

I don’t know where you live, but if you can go into a major shopping mall and go into a store like Ulta or even Macy’s makeup area, they will help you with the colors that are right for you.

I was going to suggest going into a department store and getting a make-up consultation too. They will try to sell you products but you have the option to buy or not.

@Hales There is a book called Everyone is Someone in Color. People’s skin tones fall in only two categories. Warm or cool. Warm undertones are yellow . Cool undertones are blue. There are both warm and cool shades of many colors. There is no cool orange. And there is no warm burgundy. Try holding different colors up to yourself. Such as different scarves. Some colors will seem like they fit your skin tone. Others will not look quite right. Often the colors you are drawn to, like to wear will be your cool of warm skin tone. Your light hair and green eyes can be either warm or cool. I would use a paler shade of blush with blending to see if you get a “natural” look. First I’d find out if my skin tone was warm or cool.

Isn’t there something about looking at your veins on your wrist
and seeing if they are more blue or greenish? I forgotten how
that goes….
