What Is The Best Blush For Your Skin?
- If you have a fair complexion it’s likely that you will have a neutral or pink undertone so cool-toned pinks, peachy pinks, neutral pinks, and true pinks will look best on you.
- If you have a medium complexion it’s likely that you will have a warmer undertone so rosy pinks, mauve pinks, peachy pinks, or pink blushes with a golden shimmer will look best on you.
- If you have a dark complexion it’s likely that you will have a warm undertone, meaning anything warm-toned pink will look best on you.
Whether you should go for a warm-toned or cool-toned start with understanding your own undertones. A blush with matching undertones will appear harmonious with your natural complexion, however, the opposite end of the spectrum can provide a subtle pop of color.
My Favorite Blush
I’m the biggest blush hoarder ever and picking a favorite blush is one of the hardest things ever BUT if I really had to pick a favorite, I would go for the Patrick Ta Double Take Créme & Powder Blush in She’s Blushing and the Pat McGrath Divine Powder Blush in Divine Rose. I know that’s two and not one, but those two formulas are both my all-time favorite pink blushes so I just had to mention them both haha.
Alternatives
Most of the blushes I mentioned above have lighter or darker pink shades in their collection, so if you’re not sure if a certain blush would suit you but you’re curious about the formula, you can browse the brand’s site to see if they have another shade that you’ll like more/fits your skin tone. Just to name a few of my alternative favorite shades:
- Patrick Ta Monochrome Moment in She’s Seductive (Mauve Plum) for deeper skin tones.
- Pat McGrath Divine Powder Blush in Divine Rose (Cool Mauve Rose) for light-medium skin tones or Cherish (Neutral Pink) for everyone.
- Makeup By Mario Powder Blush in Desert Rose (Earthy Rose Pink) or Mellow Mauve (Delicate Pink) for light-medium skin tones.
- NARS Powder Blush in Deep Throat for light skin tones.
- Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Freestyle Blush in Petal Poppin for light-medium skin tones.

Everyone can wear a pink blush! If you’re concerned about picking the ‘wrong’ shade I always recommend picking a pink blush based on your undertone. Do you have a more pink undertone? Go for a cool-toned pink blush. Do you have a yellow undertone? Go for a warm-toned pink blush. If you’re still not really sure, there are also some great more neutral-toned blushes out there too, which will fit a lot of different people.
There’s no right or wrong in my opinion and I also believe you can wear both if you want to. My personal preference is a pink-toned blush but I do own quite a few orange-toned blushes as well. You do you! 🙂
There’s not just one blush that is the best. All pink blushes mentioned in this post are some of the best out there! However, it depends on your skin tone, formula preferences, and finish preferences to pinpoint a favorite blush.
If you have a fair complexion it’s likely that you will have a neutral or pink undertone so cool-toned pinks, peachy pinks, neutral pinks, and true pinks will look best on you. Check out Rare Beauty Stay Vulnerable in Nearly Neutral and Pat McGrath Divine Powder Blush in Nymphette, you’ll love these!
The Dior Backstage Universal Blush in Rosy Glow as this will adjust to your skin tone and this is going to be flattering on everyone. If you’re looking for a cheaper option, Kylie Cosmetics Winter Kissed is truly a stunning cool-toned blush (and it is Kylie’s favorite blush too!).
MAC Glow Play Cream Blush in the shade Totally Synched or e.l.f. Putty Blush in Bora Bora.
