Best Blush Colours for Deep Skin

For deeper skin tones, Charlotte recommends pigmented blush colours such as punchy reds, berries and hot pinks, and rich, rosy browns. Some lighter shades might not be as apparent on a deeper complexion, so choosing an impactful shade of blush is the best way to give deep skin a beautiful, blushing look.

Best Blush Colours for Fair Skin

Blush can be easily over-applied on a lighter skin tone, so it’s important to choose the best blush shades for fair skin to avoid an overpowering flush. While deeper blush colours can work on fair skin when applied with a light hand, Charlotte recommends choosing sweet pinks that give the cheeks a dreamy wash of colour that beautifully complements a paler complexion.
