Afraid of Blush? Take This Cue From Lily Aldridge

By A Mystery Man Writer

If you still can't seem to get the hang of the whole blush thing without feeling like a Raggedy Ann doll, then you'll want to pay attention to what's going on on Lily Aldridge's cheeks here. She's wearing blush, but it's such a soft, barely there peach color that almost disappears into her skin. That way, she gets a hint of warmth without really looking like she's wearing blush at all. The secret? Looking for something with undertones that match your skin-tone family. So if you're very pale with blue undertones, look for something very light in the cool (a.k.a. pink) category. If you're olive or tan like Lily, a peach will do. If you've got a darker skin tone, a bronzy shade is a good bet. Then just use a very small amount—you can always build if you need to!
