The pink tuck: how to choose blush for your skin tone

Not every pink is made equal. Find the shade of candy, rose, or peach that makes you look like you just got the best news.

The pink tuck: how to choose blush for your skin tone

Dearest you,

Pink is a mirror. Hold the wrong shade next to your face and it can make you look tired. Hold the right one and you look like you slept twelve hours and someone just brought you flowers.

If your undertones are cool, look for blue-based pinks: bubblegum, dusty rose, mauve. They echo the natural flush in your cheeks.

If your undertones are warm, peach, coral, and salmon blush will make your skin look lit from within. Avoid anything too lavender, it can read ashy.

If you're neutral, you have the best seat in the house. Most pinks work, but the true winners are soft, desaturated tones that don't shout.

When in doubt, wear pink away from your face. A blush skirt, a candyfloss tote, or a pink boot keeps the romance without the risk.
