Very fair skin, like our model Abby’s, can teeter on the edge of looking translucent, which makes redness and flushing significantly more visible.
And, if you’re someone whose skin tends to have the pallor of milk toast (this applies to you if you've ever uttered the phrase, "Ugh, I look dead right now"), then opt for a formula that’s iridescent or shimmery to subtly brighten and warm your complexion. Though, again, every skin color can have multiple undertones, anyone with lighter skin can’t really go wrong with a cool-toned pink blush. To give your entire face a flushed-from-within glow, sweep a layer of blush over your eyelids, too. “But on lighter skin with cooler undertones, like Marina’s here, that flush isn’t necessarily a blood-red color-it’s usually a cooler, pinker shade.” Which is why Ciucci used a blue-based, watermelon-pink blush (specifically, La Prairie’s Cellular Radiance Cream Blush in Plum Glow): “It’s really going to mimic those cooler undertones you often see in lighter skin,” she says.
The ultimate blush goal? “Ideally, you want your blush to give you the same flush you’d get if you just ran through the snow or had sex,” says Ciucci. “Most rose blushes are milky and will look muddy against medium skin, so make sure to choose a rose shade that has some punchy depth to it.” If all that sounds confusing, don’t worry-just pick from one (or all!) of these formulas, below, and get blendin'. Though Ciucci used Nars Blush in Amour (no, she’s not a spokesperson for a brand she just loves their blushes), you can get the same flush with any rose-pink shade-as long as it’s dark and rich.
“So to neutralize any yellow tones and redness, look for a cool, rose-pink blush that’s pigmented and opaque.”Īpply cream blush by stippling it over your cheeks with a damp Beautyblender, or by tapping (not rubbing) it on with your ring finger. “ Medium skin tends to have green or yellow undertones that can easily look sallow, especially if you use warm, orange-hued blush,” says Ciucci. No, one woman cannot possibly represent the vast spectrum of “medium” skin tones in the world, but, because two-million people couldn’t fit into our studio, we’ll use our lovely model Veda as an example.
