How to Wear Red Blush
Red blush adds color to your skin and blends well with different skin tones depending on the undertones in the blush. Choose a red blush that matches your skin's undertones for a more natural look, or opt for a neutral blush to use as your skin color changes due to sun exposure throughout the year.
Red blush comes in several formulas, including liquid, cream and powder blushes.
Use liquid blush to quickly rub color into the skin on the go, or use a cream stick to swipe the color exactly where you want it without the need for a makeup brush. With powders, control the color precisely by using a blush brush to build up the product to the perfect hue.
What Shade of Lipstick Should I Use With Red Blush?
Red lipstick is one possible choice to wear with red blush. Red lipstick is bold and draws attention to the lips, so it should match the undertones of the blush you've chosen but be a few shades darker for contrast. The best red blush to wear with a dark red lip may be a light red blush, since the two contrast nicely.
Red blush makeup also looks good with other lipstick colors, such as nude tones. Using nude lipstick helps draw attention away from your mouth and toward other areas of the face, such as where you've applied a bright blush on your cheeks for a captivating glow.
How to Use Bright Red Blush With Fair Skin
With fair skin, the trick to wearing bright red blush is to make sure it's the right tone for your skin.
If you have cool-toned skin, you'll want a bright red blush that has a slight blue tint to match your skin well and blend nicely. If you have warm-toned skin, opting for a red blush with orange undertones may brighten your skin and still match your complexion. For people with olive skin tones, find a red blush with neutral undertones or one that's a pure, bright red, to avoid clashing with your own skin tone.
Once you have your blush color picked out, remember that less is more. With pale skin, you may only need a small amount of blush to warm up your complexion. By adding a small dab of blush to the apples of the cheeks, you can add a hint of red blush. Extend the blush up and out toward the temples for a bolder look that stands out.
