Here is a guide to picking the right blush for your skin tone...LOVe this kind of advice!
Cool skin tones tend to be on the fair to rosy side. They contain underlying tones of blue or green. These skin tones look best with a light blush with a hint of pink. The pink brings warmth to the face without appearing unnatural against the skin. Try pale blush shades, such as rose, pink and coral.
Warm Skin Tones tend to be on the flushed to golden side. They contain underlying tones of red or orange. These skin tones look best with a smokier blush or hint of brown. This helps bring out the natural flush without appearing red-faced. Try richer blush shades, such as peach, dusty rose, rose and pale cranberry.
Yellow Skin Tones cover a wide variety of darker hues. Olive kissed or Asian skin tone, they both have an underlying yellow essence. Use warmer pinks and plums to help bring out your natural flushed tone.
Dark Skin Tone generally need to stay with tan or red based hues. The darker the skin, the bolder the color can be. For tanned or brown skin, try bronze, apricot or even raspberry blush shades. For dark or black skin, try red, apricot, magenta, or gold blush shades.
