I don’t always wear blush, but when I do, it’s in the summer months. Is this odd, because during the colder months I’m pale as a ghost? Maybe, but my rationale is that blush on pale skin looks like I’ve applied blush. I want my cheeks to look naturally blushed, and that’s easier for me to do when my face is not Casper-ing out and has been kissed by the sun.
If you’re anything like me, then you’ll love our summer blush picks for that “Your skin but better” flush!
