Trying then all is a best way to find out what suits best for your skin so that you are assured that you have not missed the best.

A quick way to know the textures and types of these blushes:

Cream Blush: Cream blushes works great on dry dull skin as they impart a dewy glowing finish on the skin. They make the skin look young and moisturize greatly along with delivering good hint of color.

Gel Blush: A Gel blush gives a radiant finish as they glide very smoothly on the skin. The texture is usually light weight in texture and a bit subtle in pigmentation.

Powder Blush: Many powder blushes give a matte finish with shimmery highlighter look. It is easy to dust a powder blush with a mild sweep of color on the cheeks.

Stains: Stains often serve as coloring agent for both lip and cheek. Stains are highly pigmented and they dry really very soon. So, right blending has to happen quickly.

Knowing your blush color

The secret of pulling off a blush correctly lies in choosing the right blush color. When you sweep wrong rouge on your cheek, you are likely to enter the clown zone instantly. The right color will be most flattering and shows the best of your lovely face.

Few tips to help you equip with the right blush shade for according to your skin tone.

Fair Skin Tone: If you are blessed with pale, alabaster skin; soft pink, peach or light coral can be your color. Pale pink is the color most fair skin people blush. So, as a blush, pale pink blush looks completely natural with a beautiful subtle flush.

A sheer plum blush (especially cream) can also be great on fair skin if you dab a little on the cheek hollows to achieve the extra definition and a shadow.

Too much product or saturated hues will create a horror picture of your face. A formula that is sheer and blend-able is going to work perfect for a natural flushed cheek.

Medium Skin Tone: Some medium tones which are already warm needs just a slight enhancement with a tinge of flattering orange. So, an apricot blush looks soft and fresh on medium warm skin tone.

A muted mauve or a Hot pink blush adds richness to the entire look and also gives depth to the medium skin.

A medium pink of soft light berry is the best bet to achieve the vibrant natural flush on medium skin. It looks as though you have been flushing in the snow.

Dark Skin Tone: Dark skin can hold up to pigments really well. Thus deep highly bold shades are best suited for people with dark skin; else a blush can look muddy on face.

Deeps shades of red, tangerine and brick brings out a true flush on dark skin tone. Though the Red Blush shades look intense in the pan, they are the best for a daring effect in the makeup look.

It is important to stay warm while working with dark skin tone; else, if you go for cooler look, things might get ashy on face.
