Blush colors and lipstick
When choosing blush, use your lipstick color for inspiration.
For example, if you have chosen brown eyeshadow and brown lipstick, don't choose a pink blush, choose blush from the brown/bronze pallet.
If your lipstick is apricot, wear an apricot undertoned blush and so on. The blush color chart below may be helpful when choosing colors for your cheeks.

Finding your natural cheek color
Have you ever wondered how to choose a cheek color for your complexion? Your natural color is your best choice and this is how to find it...
Sit in a chair, bend over and put your head down for 30 seconds (for some it may take longer). Caution - be sure to sit in a chair prior to bending over - otherwise, you may get dizzy and fall - beauty does have its risks!
Upon rising, your cheeks will reveal their natural cheek color.
When shopping for blush...
Rummage through your makeup bag and find a blush that is the closest match to your natural color or one that is your favorite. When shopping for a new blush take your color "sample" with you. If your favorite brand is not available, at least you will be able to closely match its color. If you prefer a blush color that is lighter or darker, you can use your sample for a reference.
