4 Best Blushers For Fair Skin With Cool Undertones

4 best blushers for fair skin with cool under tones

Blusher is a makeup essential. I am obsessed with it. Why? It makes your skin look full, healthy and adds a soft flush that gives your skin a little pop of colour that instantly lifts your complexion and mood! And, as someone with fair skin with cool undertones, I know that my pale skin can sometimes look tired and washed-out; for days like those, a pinch of blush is a must – but how do you know which shade is right for your fair skin?

 

What Blusher Shades Are Best For Fair Skin?

Best blusher swatched for fair skin colour key for helping you to choose the right shade of blush for pale skin

Through my blush blunders (there have been many) and research, I’ve found the secret to choosing the correct blush for a cool-fair skin tone and put it in a colour cheat sheet for you to use. You can mix and match choosing a shade based on your mood or your colour preference:

1. Baby Pink
2. Soft Peach
3. Light Coral
4. Pale Rose

Armed with this knowledge, I’ve been on the hunt for the best formulas in this shade range and popped them in this edit. Here is a selection of my favourite blushes for the perfect pinch for pale skin with cool undertones…

 

1. The Baby Pink Stick Blush

Model Lancome Teint Idole Ultra Wear Blush Stick in 01 - Ambitious Pink

I’ve chosen the shade Ambitious Pink, a bright baby pink. It adds the softest rosy effect to my cool skin which gives it a little boost when I think I’m looking a bit peaky. They suggest you choose a shade the same or a little deeper than your natural flush and for me, this would be on the deeper side. A little goes a long way with this Lancome Blush Stick as it has incredible colour pay-off and you won’t even need a blusher brush because it can all be blended in easily with your fingertips.

Why you’ll love the Lancome Teint Idole Blush Stick…
This is one of my all-time favourite blushes. It has the dreamiest crushed velvet texture that feels creamy when applied, but as you blend it into your complexion, it reveals a powdery finish that looks rosy and flawless. I love the stick format because it is so easy to use, all you need to do is swipe, blend and you’re done!

bareMinerals’ Gen Nude Powder gets a special mention as it is an award-winner, so you know it must be good! Pretty In Pink is the ideal shade for all cool skin tones because it’s a muted baby pink that’s ideal for adding a soft natural blush.

Like all of bareMinerals makeup, this Gen Nude blusher is made with natural minerals that are good-to-skin and is cruelty-free. The finish of this blush is nothing short of flawless as it’s made with a Blurring Complex, so has an airbrushed effect on the skin. How do I wear it? I like to brush this powder across my cheekbones and take it up to the temples and a little across the bridge of my nose if I’m feeling full-on autumnal vibes!
