If there is one makeup product that can transform your whole look, we'd say it's a blush! A good blush can make you presentable, fresh, and not dull. Picking the right blush for a fair skin tone can be a bit tricky because it may appear a 'little too much' if the color is a bit overpowering. Thus, based on our first-hand experience, we have rounded up a few of the best blushes for fair skin that can be the one-stop answer to make your skin pop. These blushes are packed with all the benefits you have been looking for! They are buildable, blendable, and loaded with fine pigments to give you a seamless result.

Celebrity makeup artist and the founder of Neen, Jeanine Lobell, says, “If you are putting blush on bare skin, you will need to work with your undertones.” Now, as fair skin tone looks paler than other skin tones, a dash of good blush is the most essential makeup step for them. Keeping every aspect in mind, we introduce you to the best ones available. Take a look at the products—

Now that you've already checked out the products take a look at how you can pick the best one among them—

Below are the parameters to keep in mind—

a) Undertone- The thumb rule of picking the right blush according to your skin's undertone is always choosing the blush that goes well with your undertone. For example, if you have a warm undertone, pick a warm and peachy tone blush; for people with cool undertones, a rosy tone blush will look flattering. For neutral undertones, every blush color will likely suit you.

b) Color- You are looking for the perfect blush for your fair skin tone. Colors like peach, soft rose, wheatish coral, plum, and apricot color will complement your skin tone beautifully.

c) Finish- There are plenty of finishes available when it comes to blush– shimmer, slightly glittery, matte, dewy, etc. For regular use, you should pick matte or dewy blush. If you are a partygoer, a glitter blush is apt for you. On the other hand, for a subtle date night glow, a shimmer blush is ideal for that natural glow.

d) Texture- Picking the right texture depends on your skin type. If you have oily skin, a powder blush is ideal for you! Similarly, for people who have dry skin, a cream blush is the ideal one for them.

Now, take a look at how you can use the blush on your face—

Here's how you can—

a) After you finish your base, i.e., after applying the foundation, this is the right time to apply a cream blush.

b) You cannot apply a cream blush once you set your foundation with setting powder.

c) Next, take the cream blush and apply it in a dotted manner, and take a beauty blender or a brush and apply the product in a dabbing motion. To note more, you should always use the blush upward to get a chiseled and lifted look.

d) Now, you can take your setting powder and apply it all over your face to set the base.

e) In the next step, you can take your powder blush with a fluffy brush and apply it on the temples of your cheekbones to intensify the color and ensure longevity.

f) You can also skip using cream blush and directly apply the powder blush, and vice versa.

g) Do not forget to use a beauty blender over the product for the last time to ensure a seamless blending and a second-skin-like finish.
