What shade of blush is best for my coloring?

I have blondish brown hair and blue eyes. Very fair skin. I usually wear a brown or bronze eyeshadow...





What color blush should I wear? Pink? Peach? Rosy?What shade of blush is best for my coloring?
This is easy! To choose the color of blush that will look best on you, follow my fail-proof 10 steps to buying the perfect blush=)





1.) Step outdoors AfTeR having been InDoOrS at a comfortable temperature for at least half an hour. Bring a hand mirror and a camera with you.





2.) Get the camera ready to capture a picture and then set it down somewhere safe and close enough to where you can easily reach it.





3.) Hold the mirror in one hand. With your other hand (which should be clean, dry and empty) use your thumb and index finger to PiNcH one of your cheeks (which should also be clean and dry) and pinch all over it. Be careful if you have long nails though. I wouldn't want a nail to dig into your skin!





4.) Keep pinching and watch in the mirror as the irritation causes the area to increase in color. But ReMeMbEr, there is no need to experience any pain during this process. Don't hurt yourself!





5.) Continue to pinch your cheek until it becomes quite colorful. This color should cover a larger area of skin than you would ever apply your blush to. The time pinching your cheek should only last about 10 seconds.





6.) Once you have color, quickly snap some photos of your cheek. You may use a camera phone, a disposable camera or whatever you like. However, the higher the quality of the camera is the more accurately your match between the color of your pinched cheek and the color of your cheek in the photo will be. You may use the mirror to help you take the shot, or put it down first so you can use both hands.


*This reason this is done outdoors is to ensure that colors are not distorted by artificial light. Also remember to take the picture outdoors AFTER having been InDoOrS. Otherwise your best color will not come out with the pinching. Especially if it is a hot or cold day outside.


*Another Tip! Take a BuNcH of pictures so that you're sure your cheek will be in one of them;)





7.) Develop/Print the pictures.





8.) Determine how much you are willing to pay for the blush and what KIND (not color) would work best for your unique skin (Example: if you break out easily you might want to purchase a blush that contains minerals or medication). If you decide that you want a very specific type- call the stores in your area to find out who carries that type before you get somewhere and they don't have what you wanted.





9.) Considering the decisions you made in step 8, decide where you are going shopping, how you're getting there, and go! But before you leave: DON'T FORGET YOUR PICTURES! Bring them with you!!!!





10.) Compare the color your cheek becomes when pinched (i.e. the color in the photo) to the color of the blushes for sale. Then, find the absolute closest match and buy it!

Let me know if you need help with applying blush. I'll try to be brief lol.


Oh! I almost forgot...blush actually warms up after you put it on your skin. In other words, because of your body temperature, the color from your blush will intensify after warming up so since you have fair skin, use blush sparingly.


Also because of your fair skin -if the color looks too 'painted on'- then next time you do your makeup try this:


Put your foundation on first (if you wear any), blush on second (or first if you don't use foundation), and then dust a light coat of loose powder over your entire face right over the blush and bare skin alike. You will still be able to see the blush, but it will look much more natural underneath the powder.What shade of blush is best for my coloring?
Try NARS Orgasm. It's a peachy pink with shimmer. It doesn't really show up on me but if you have very fair skin it would be good for you. It's very poplular and would be a great summer color.
definetly not a dark, or red color. try a rosy peach cream is color like these

or a creame blush by mac. go to macy's
Opt for the pink or peach. These colors match your skin tone and hair color better. Rosy colors are for people with tanner/darker skin.


***Hope this helps! Please, answer my question, my username is karihighman*** thanks! :-)
pinkish will be best for your skin type.


and if you could use a little bronzer, you can go into the darker, pinks.
either a light peach or a pink would look best. i would stay away from a red color.
