Long-Lasting Blushes

Discovering your skin tone can be as simple as looking at the jewellery you prefer to wear. If you feel confident wearing silver accessories, chances are you have a cool skin tone. If gold pieces complement your complexion, you likely have a warm skin tone.

Another way to determine your skin tone is to examine the colour of the veins on your wrist. If they appear green, warm skin tones prevail, and a blush in summery red hues will flatter you best. If your veins appear blue, you have a cool skin tone and winter shades are your best bet.

Choosing the correct type of blush that complements your skin type can make a significant difference to your final look:

• If you have normal skin, you're in luck – feel free to experiment with any blush to find the one that suits you.

• If you have oily skin, a matte blush is ideal for controlling shine.

• For dry skin, choose a blush that moisturises and brightens.

• For mature skin, go for a liquid blush to avoid settling in fine lines. Or consider a blush specially formulated for mature skin.

• If you have sensitive skin, choose mild products that won't irritate.
