Blush can either make or break a look. Do it wrong and you could look like bozo the clown, but if you do it right, you’ll be the hit...of the night. There is a trick to applying blush, and more importantly, to selecting the correct color. Choosing the right color blush similar to foundations or lipstick is determined based on your skin tone. So what colors look great on what skin tone? There are 3 skin tone types that I will be discussing, light, medium and dark.
