Best blush for warm undertones
The best blush for warm undertones is peach or coral. Warm undertones have golden, peachy or yellow hues, so blushes with a warm base look like they grew there. Peach, coral, apricot, warm rose and terracotta add a healthy, sun-kissed flush. Light skin with warm undertones looks lovely in soft peach and light coral, while medium and tan skin can go for apricot and warm coral. Deeper skin with warm undertones looks stunning in terracotta, brick and burnt orange. Cool pinks and plum can look ashy or out of place on warm skin, a bit like wearing someone else's glasses. Satin finishes and a touch of golden glow enhance your warmth beautifully.
Tips that actually help

- Pair blush with a golden or bronze highlighter for extra glow.
- Blend blush toward your temples and connect it lightly with bronzer for a sun-kissed look.

Go easy on: Cool pinks, icy lavender and blue-based berries can look ashy or harsh on warm undertones.
