Choosing Your Fool-Proof "Natural" Blush

I met a Dior National Artist at work a few days ago and he taught me a fool-proof way to choose your "natural" blush (the color your cheeks look when they are naturally flushed).

Squeeze your fingertips lightly for a minute or so and then release them; the blood will rush into your fingers and this will be the same color as the natural flush in your cheeks. Just find a blush in the same shade and viola! You've found your natural shade of blush.

This is a really great method for picking out drugstore shades that you can't try on.

thanks for the tip. Very helpful

mine is pretty red though, LOL

Great tip! Thanks!

lol, good tip. i learned one similar on expert village, except it's my cheek i had to sueeze (then you try to find the color you get of it). but it works .

Cool tip!!

Interesting! I might have to try that.

Super great tip!

Great tip! Thanks!

I guess my natural blush color is purple? lol.

That's great, I'm using the wrong shade then.

thanx for the tip

Hey thanks for the cool tip!

er...my hands is pretty red...i can't see the redness when i squeeze my finger tips though :X

Thanks for the tip!

And I thought the woman squeezing her finger at the cosmetic counter was just trying to do a blood glucose meter reading. Kidding. LOL!

Thanks for the tip!

That's a great tip! I'll have a look next time I'm makeup shopping.

There are many different shades of blush that a person can wear...this method is to find your "natural" blush; just because your fingers don't match your current shade doesn't mean you're wearing the wrong color.

i actually need new blush i'll consider that

great tip thank you
