Depending on your skin type you might want to experiment with different blush textures to find one that flatters your skin best. If you have drier skin that tends to look cakey with powder products try a liquid or cream blush. These sit nicely on top of your skin instead of settling into the fine lines of your face like powders can. Plus liquid blushes offer maximum control of how intense you want your flush to be. The Rare Beauty soft pinch liquid blush has become a quick favorite among influencers, celebrities, and everyday people alike for its blendable formula and pretty color options. The hot pink shade “Lucky” is a great starter color for this trend.
If you’re looking to be a bit bolder, then a powder blush might be for you. One benefit of powder is there’s a wide array of shades to experiment with. Shades like purple or orange may be a little unconventional but they can look beautiful on darker skin tones. The “Just Peachy” blush from Clouroured Raine is a beautiful, bright, shimmery peach hue and it supports a Black-owned business. To avoid having your blush feel cakey, prep your skin well beforehand. Use an oil-free foundation as a summer-friendly base to help keep your makeup in place no matter how hot it gets outside.
