Pretty much everyone should stick to blush that has a little pink or coral in it. Brown tones, while popular, are not really flattering- we're drawn to them because we think they're natural, but think about it- do you blush brown? Of course not! If that made us look better Mother Nature would have done it long ago (natural selection and all that). Brown and yellow toned lipstick are in the same category, only worse because they make your teeth look more yellow! Think I'm kidding? Look at tooth-whitening ads- the models all have pink lipstick. Go to the makeup department and try a few shades on the inside of your wrist and then try the one you like on. Be sure the lipstick is sanitized first!

If you have light to medium blonde hair, and light skin with pinkish undertones, then pink may be your color. Try all different shades of pink and hold them up to your face. If the color makes your face appear brighter, choose that one. If you hold up a color and it makes your face appear darker and shadowed, pull away from that color and go for a lighter shade.

If you tap the blush before applying it on your cheeks, you put less. It is better to put less than more. You can always build up more. Try the Lancome collection of blushes.

I used to put on my foundation (liquid), then go over that with a powder, and then apply my blush, but I found that by changing the order my cheeks don't look quite so dark. I put on my liquid foundation first because it covers a world of sin (blemishes and such), and then my blush, and then go over all of that with a powder type foundation...it blends everything together and makes the blush blend in better and stand out less.
