Choose blushers according to your skin color

Red has a lot of hues like mauve, carnation and rosy. You should choose a blusher according to your skin color.

1) If you are snow white, carnation and rose are good choices for you. In the New Year, try bright red to fit the festival atmosphere making you look more healthy and happy.

2) If you skin is a little bit yellowish you can try some blushers with a hint of shimmer. It is a good idea to choose light red or pink blushers

3) If you have wheat colored skin, you should choose some deep colors like wine or ruby. These kinds of colors will make you look healthier.
