Flirty Blushes: 14 Pick-Me-Up Colors

Aneliya Vasilieva rounds up the best brightening blushes to add major color to dull, mid-winter skin.

Fair Skin

Those with fair skin know that a little goes a long way. Use gel formulas or sheer, shimmery powders to add an ethereal highlight to your cheeks. Avoid harsh, deep colors that will translate as color-blocked on your fair skin. Look for light pinks, peaches, and corals to give your mid-season skin just the right amount of glow.

Medium Skin

Medium tones can get away with a little more drama than those with fair skin. Look for more saturated, bright hues that will play with your skin tone to give you a fresh pop of color. Deeper corals, mauves, and brighter pinks will add instant brightness to your face and help you look more awake and fresh.

Deep Skin

Dark skin tones shouldn’t be scared to play with color and texture, your skin can handle it. Sheer cream formulas in deep red, orange, and shimmery brown will add instant color, freshness, and glow to your skin. Wear color on the apples of your cheeks for a flirty look, or high on your cheekbones to give you a little contour.
