I used to be terrified of blush. I am now a believer and a certified blush whore. I will never forget my first blush purchase ever. It was from MAC Cosmetics, a collection with Diana Ross. The packaging was pretty and pink, and it was the most beautiful berry blush ever. I had to have it. I was turned out from that moment on.
I’ve been on a crusade since that day to get more black women to wear blush. With that being said I compiled a list of some of my favorites as well as those from some of my favorite make-up sisters.
Blushes can be just like eyeshadows satin, matte, mineralize or frost. My personal preference is a mineralize blush as it gives luminosity to the skin and double as a highlighter.
One thing I can tell you is, the scarier the bush color looks, the better it will appear on your skin. TRUST ME. Hot pinks, oranges, corals, peaches, berry and terra-cotta colors look absolutely amazing on brown skin. If you need help on how to apply blush click here.
