Color Theory 101: Finding Your Perfect Blush Shade

Have you ever bought a  blush that looked dull on your skin?

Well it is because of undertones. Everyone”s skin has an undertone, either being warm, cool or neutral. Undertones are the subtle colours that come through your skin from beneath the surface and they are completely different from your skin shade.

 Warm undertones have hints of peach, golden and yellow hues. It is enhanced by shades like bronze, coral, orange-red lip or blush colours.

 Cool undertones have hints of red, blue or pink.  It is enhanced by make up with blue-based reds, soft pinks and plum tones.

 Neutral undertones is a mixture of both warm and cool undertones. People with neutral tones can wear a wide range of shades without clashing. 

 By knowing your undertone, it facilitates you in choosing not only the perfect blush shade but also make up in general. Therefore, foundation, lipsticks and powders as well. It is important because it helps harmonise with natural colouring in order to not look ashy.

Brielle’s Shade Guide

 For warm undertones, the Didi blush would be absolutely stunning 

 Hey bestie, let’s have some real talk about something that can totally change your makeup game: undertones. You know how sometimes you swipe on a blush and it just pops like it was made for you, while another one makes you look a little…meh? That’s undertone magic  at work.

 Step 1: Meet Your Undertone

Your undertone is the natural hue beneath your skin’s surface. It never changes! Whether you’re fresh from a beach day or rocking your winter glow. Here’s a quick way to figure it out

 Cool undertones: Your skin has hints of pink, red, or blue. Check your veins. If they look bluish, you’re probably here. Silver jewelry? Chef’s kiss on you.

Warm undertones: Think golden, peachy, or olive. Your veins might look greenish, and gold jewelry loves you back.

Neutral undertones: A balance of both. Lucky you! You can play in all the shades.

 Grab a white t-shirt or hold a white sheet of paper near your face in daylight. If your skin looks rosy next to it, you’re cool. If it glows more golden, you’re warm. If it’s hard to tell, you’re neutral.

 Step 2: Match Your Blush

 Now that we’ve cracked your undertone code, let’s find the blush that’ll have people asking, “Girl, what’s your secret?”

Cool undertones – Go for pinks and rosy shades that complement that fresh, just-back-from-a-brisk-walk vibe.

Warm undertones – Warm peaches, corals, and deep reds will bring out that sun-kissed goddess energy.

Neutral undertones – You can mix it up. From pinks to reds, you’re free to experiment.
