# The best blush color for your skin tone and undertone

> The most flattering blush is close to the color your cheeks turn when you flush, adjusted for your depth. Light skin suits soft pink and peach; medium skin suits rose, coral and apricot; deep skin suits berry, brick, plum and deep coral. Cool undertones lean pink and berry; warm undertones lean peach and coral.

## By depth
- Light (Monk 1 to 3): baby pink, soft peach, sheer rose. Start sheer: a little goes a long way.
- Medium (Monk 4 to 6): rose, coral, apricot, warm mauve. Cream and powder both work.
- Deep (Monk 7 to 10): berry, brick red, plum, deep coral, bright orange-red. Choose rich pigment so it doesn’t turn chalky.

## By undertone
- Cool: pink, raspberry, berry, mauve.
- Warm: peach, coral, apricot, terracotta.
- Neutral: most shades work; dusty rose is a safe choice.
- Olive: warm rose, terracotta, brick; very cool baby pinks can look gray.

## Where to put it
Smile, then apply blush to the highest part of your cheeks and blend up toward your temples. Build it in thin layers: it’s easier to add a little more than to take it away. Finish by blending the edges with a clean brush or your fingers.

## Questions
### Cream or powder blush?
Cream blush melts into skin and looks fresh, best for dry or normal skin and light makeup. Powder lasts longer on oily skin and over powder. A simple rule: cream over cream, powder over powder.

### How do I stop blush looking muddy on deep skin?
Choose pigmented, saturated shades instead of sheer, light pinks, which can look ashy. Berry, brick and deep coral show true color on deep skin. Build in thin layers with a dense brush.

### Can I use lipstick as blush?
Many cream lipsticks can double as blush if the product says it’s fine for cheeks: tap a little on with a finger and blend well. The same shade on lips and cheeks is an easy way to look polished.
