Hey, Glaminai here — blush isn’t just about color; it’s about energy. The right shade can make you look awake, fresh, and balanced — even without foundation.
🎨 How to Find Your Shade
Skin Tone | Best Blush Family | Why It Works | Glaminai Recommends |
|---|---|---|---|
Fair / Cool | Soft pinks, peachy rose | Mimics natural flush | Glossier Cloud Paint in Puff, Rare Beauty Encourage |
Medium / Neutral | Warm corals, rosy nudes | Adds warmth without orange | Milani Luminoso, Fenty Cheeks Out Petal Poppin |
Tan / Olive | Apricot, terracotta | Balances green undertones | NARS Taj Mahal, Tower 28 Golden Hour |
Deep | Berry, brick red, plum | Rich pigments show true on skin | Danessa Myricks Vision Flush, Fenty Rosé Latte |
✨ Placement Matters
Lifted look: Apply above cheekbone and blend toward temple.
Soft flush: Tap on apples of cheeks for youthful glow.
Draped effect: Blend from cheek to eyelid for a blown-out, editorial vibe.
💬 Ask Glaminai to find your perfect blush pairing based on your skin tone and undertone.
✅ Pro Tip: Cream blush first, powder second = longer wear and color depth.
