HOW TO PICK YOUR PERFECT BLUSH COLOR
Now that you know about our four best drugstore blushes, you may be overwhelmed by which shade to pick. Luckily, finding your blush match doesn’t have to be difficult. As a general rule of thumb, you’ll want to stick to hues that are one to two shades darker than your skin tone. Your undertones also play a role in your blush match. If you have warm undertones, look for a blush that’s also warm in tone. Have cool undertones? A cool-toned blush will be most flattering. Not sure what your undertones are? Flip your wrists. If your veins are blue or purple, you have cool undertones. If they’re green, you have warm undertones. Not too difficult, right?
