The Best Blush Colors for Brown Skin
Light Skin:
Black women with light brown skin (think vanilla, browned butter or honey) should opt for a peach-colored blush. Peach is ideal for both warm and cool undertones, since the blush will have flecks of red, orange and yellow color. A light, powdery blush that reflects light well is ideal for the season, like Nars Highlighting Blush in Miss Liberty. The blush is light enough to wear with a slightly darker color for an evening look, and can even be worn without foundation for a naturally stunning complexion.
MEDIUM SKIN
Medium-skinned Black women (the color of mocha, café au lait or nutmeg) will look best in medium pink blush with bronze flecks. The blush will help to highlight the defined cheek bones that many Black women have, and will compliment the deep gold and orange undertones that are often a component of brown skin. Ideal blush options for ladies with medium brown skin include the Sephora Collection’s Microsmooth Blush Duo in Tangerine Tease. The matte satin blush will define cheekbones expertly, and add a sun-kissed glow to the whole complexion.
DARK SKIN
A deep pink or light red blush is ideal for women with dark brown skin (i.e. cocoa, dark chocolate). The color will help to bring more attention to the cheeks, but can also be used as a subtle highlighter for the whole face, which is ideal for sunny weather. MAC’s Frankly Scarlet looks stunning against dark brown skin. The fuchsia color adds just the right amount of pink to the complexion, and highlights the natural flecks of red in women with warm undertones. Women who have cool undertones should use the blush for the evening, as the pink will look even more defined on their skin.
