10 of the Best Blusher for Every Skin Tone-Did yours make the list?

There’s one makeup product that can make your skin look radiant and give life to it within seconds - blush! Blushes are a vastly underrated product when it comes to the makeup industry - usually, they’re saved for special occasions, if nothing else. However, you don’t need to wait for the next big event to break out your favorite blush. 

Not only is a blush great for that final touch on your overall makeup look for your next major event, but they’re great for highlighting your features and lifting your complexion. Also, blush can change your face shape when used properly. Too many people fail to find the right blush for themselves, which may be one reason why blushes are not considered part of the main lineup of essential makeup. 

Not every blush suits every skin tone, but there’s definitely a brush out there for everyone. If you’re lucky, you can find a blush that suits your tastes and your skin tone. Here is a guide for the best blushes that are listed according to your skin tone!

Blush for All Skin tones 

Milani Baked Blush 

This matte cruelty-free powder blush boasts options of eleven shades. It’s highly pigmented, so you can build upon it as much as your heart desires. No matter the skin tone, you’ll find a shade perfect for you, something that will give your face the best highlight and contour you could ask for. It’s a customer favorite, repeatedly recommended as the best drugstore blush - if you’re a beginner at buying blush, this is the one to go for. 

Maybelline New York Fit Me Blush 

Maybelline is known for its affordable but impressive quality makeup products, and the New York Fit Me Blush is no exception. The creamy texture of a blush allows you to have complete control over blending, so you’re able to spread it as evenly as you want. Available in a wide variety of shades, this is another blush that provides you with multiple options for your skin tone. It’s also approved by dermatologists, so you won’t need to book an extra appointment to confirm with your own!

Mented Cosmetics Blush in Peach For The Stars 

This particular shade has been tried and tested on all skin tones, although it’ll look the best on deeper skin tones. The blush boasts a deep color, perfect for people with darker skin tones, allowing the rich tones to pop up from their skin. On top of the gold shimmer it provides (excellent for some luxurious highlighting), this blush is also cruelty-free, so you can rest assured!

Blush for Medium to Deeper Skin tones 

Patrick Ta Monochrome Moment Velvet Blush in She’s Sincere 

Makeup artists have recommended this blush time and again, and for a good reason! The peach shade blends in fairly quickly - it allows for the perfect everyday makeup look. When you don’t look like you’re trying too hard, or if it’s another regular Monday, then this blush is perfect for you! It’s not too pigmented, so it allows beginners more control over the shade. The peach also pops out the most on medium skin tone. 

Too Faced Papa Don’t Peach

If you’re somebody with olive skin, you may be hard-pressed to find the perfect blush for yourself. Without a doubt, it is perhaps the hardest to find one for olive skin because of the unique green undertone. Luckily for you, Too Faced Papa Don’t Peace is the best fit for you! Instead of trying out cooler shades, try out the warm peach, which brings out the warm tones of your skin and amplifies them, so your skin gives off the impression of glowing. 

BlackUp Blush in NBL07 Mandarin 

Much like olive skin, it’s challenging to find the perfect blush for darker skin tones, mainly because there is so much variety in skin tone. The BlackUp Blush in NBL07 Mandarin provides the perfect terracotta shade for dark skin. Instead of going for cooler blushes (they make your skin look ashy anyway), go for the deep terracotta of the BlackUp Blush, perfect for contouring and the extra glimmer. 

Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Blush in Daiquiri Drip

That’s not to say brighter tones don’t look good on dark skin. Fenty Beauty’s Brick Red blush is a testament to that. This blush resides on the brighter end of things, but it’s warm enough to bring some warmth to your skin tone. The unique formula gives off an almost dewy finish to your makeup look, giving a natural glow that many others can’t replicate. 

Blush for Fair Skin tones

Maybelline New York Cheek Heat Gel-Cream Blush in Pink Scorch

This baby pink blush is perfect for fair skin. A winner of the 2020 Allure Best of Beauty award, this cream brush is undoubtedly one of the best on the market. The formula melts into your cheeks, allowing you to build up to your heart’s content but virtually impossible to pack on too much, leaving you with the perfect pink flush for your daily makeup routine. 

Bobbi Brown Blush in Pretty Pink 

Pink is naturally a go-to for fair skin - there are few things more adorable than a light pink flush on your cheeks. Fair skin tends to blush anyway, so this pale pink blush looks as natural as blush can look. Many consider it a classic, and they’re right! The pink flush works perfectly for meetups with friends, a zoom call with your client, an appointment with a preschool teacher - you name it!

Fifth & Skin Better’n Ur Cheeks Mineral Blush 

This mineral blush is a naturally pressed one, making it non-toxic and harmless to your skin, so you won’t need to worry about your skin’s health too much. The ingredients include organic minerals and botanicals perfect for lighter skin tones and contain anti-aging elements. The tint also looks completely natural - you end up with a healthy and glowing texture. 

With this list in mind, you can take your pick. Make sure you research your exact skin tone before making the final decision, though!
