All you need is to go brighter with your blush choice than you think you need.
(However, some blushes, as you’ll see, can be deceiving in their packaging).

Of the eight shades, coral Fiji (shown above) and plum Caribbean get our seal of approval.
The stunning fuchsia hue Flush (shown above) and burgundy Rich are great options.

Volumes 3 to 6 are the holy grail for darker skin tones in our humble opinion.
Volume 3 (shown above) is the darkest of the four with burgundy and berry shades.
Volume 4 leans into the pinks with baby pink and darker bubblegum pink.
On the other hand, Volume 5 has two reddish hues while Volume 6 has two orange ones.
We also suggest the coral hue called Where’s the SPF.

A little bit goes a long way for thisjojoba oil-infused formula.
The massive doe applicator dispenses a nice amount of the lightweight formula.
The sheer liquid formula is also a favorite amongAllureeditors.
It’s not too much just beautifully flattering.
The thing is it doesn’t just sit on top of your cheeks, though.
The pigmented liquid formula doles out a buildable color that shows up on a range of skin tones.
Moisturizing castor oil and beeswax also keep both cheeks and lips hydrated throughout the day.
This mauve-pink has enough richness to tint medium to lighter brown complexions.
It’s highly pigmented, so either dab it lightly with your fingers or dust with a fluffy brush.
It’ll give even the deepest of brown skin tones a more sun-baked flush rather than a fresh-from-the-cold glow.
