- Pick a shade that works with your skin tone, you need to choose the ride shade to flatter your complexion. Something too dark or too bright
can actually age you instead of giving you that warm, youthful glow. The key is choose something that’s close to your natural flush and the best way to figure out what that is, is to pinch your cheeks.

types of blushes- powder, creams and stains. If you have oily skin, a cheek stain works well. If you have normal or combination skin, creamy formulas are great and have high staying power. If you have dry skin,
stick with a powder formula. Powder blush is great for gliding over pores for a blurring effect.
