How to Match Cheek Color & Skin Tone
Hi! My name is Davina, this is my model Kirsten and we’re here on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this clip I’ll help you choose the best cheek color for your skin type. For a softer look, for fair skin, pale pinks and berries work best. For medium and olive skin tones, apricot, beiges and bronzy nudes work best. For dark skin it’s complimented by mauves, reds and berries. For darker sultry blush for fair skin, it more warm and inviting with deep berries and rich wines. For medium and olive tones it glows when assented by browns and raisin tones. Dark skin looks great with burgundies and plums. With Kirsten she’s more of your medium and olive tone, so I’m going to use more of apricot, the beige or the bronzy colors. I’m using an apricot, applying the blush and remember to work out towards the temple when applying, I’m going to blend it with a blending brush to give it more of a natural glow. And that’s how to choose the color best for your skin type.
