    Blush can have two different textures:

Cream, liquid, gel. Apply directly over foundation, before powder application with the fingers, sponge or a blush brush. It will fades very well;

Pressed powder. Apply only after having applied the powder, otherwise it can create unaesthetic streaks. Fade it very well.    Blush can have a matte, metallic, pearly or slight shimmery finish.

  For oily skin, powder blush is the best. Instead, dry skin needs a cream blush which will give it a very natural complexion. Youthful skin, no blemishes, looks gorgeous with a gel blush.

yellow tinted skin - warm colors: peach, gold, coral, bronze;
