A great pink blush is a classic that never goes out of style. Trends change and new colours come in every season but nothing truly beats a good pink. The fact remains that pink looks good on everyone, it’s only a matter of finding the best shade that works on your skin tone. The right shade of blush, placed well can pull your makeup together and warm up your complexion giving you that fresh-faced glow we all so crave in the mornings. Plus, it’s a no brainer in the spring/summer seasons or even winter if you love a natural minimal makeup look.

Between the sheer amount of different shades and formulas, it can take a little trial and error to figure out your favourites. TBH, you can wear whatever tone of pink you damn well please, there’s no hard and fast rules when you’re having fun with makeup. But there are a few points you can keep in mind when finding the right pink shade for yourself. First, you want to think about your skin tone and/or what you’re trying to achieve. Do you need cool-toned pink or warmer mauve shades or richer deeper tones? If you want a natural shade all you got to do is gently pinch your cheeks. Match a shade to that flush and you’ve got an everyday blush! Because there are hundreds of pink blushes on the market we’ve rounded up a few favourites to get you started whether your building your first makeup kit or starting fresh for the season.

2. Tarte, Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush In Blushing Bride

The coverage is just enough to show up on one swipe but is super buildable and easy to blend out, depending on how intense you want to go. Plus it boasts to stay on for at least 12 hours. Blushing Bride, in particular, is more of a plumy rose pink with a very faint sheen once appliedd. This particular shade is richly pigmented so go in with a light hand first. Because of its rich tones, it looks especially great on those with deeper skin tones.
