Avoid red blush

Blushes are a great way to accentuate the cheeks and achieve a youthful glow. But a red blush may not be the best option for darker skin. Fair-skinned people may not be able to pull off a darker blush, but these shades will work perfectly for darker skin. Try a plum, brick, or deep brown tone for your cheeks.

Test foundation on the jawline
