Cleure offers a few different types of blush for sensitive skin. Powder blush works well for oily skin, while cream blush is good for normal or dry skin. It's best to choose a shade that just gives you a hint of color or that highlights your cheeks but won't stick out. If you are light complexioned, red may not look nice and appear over powering, but look fantastic on someone with brown skin tone. Browns or tans may look better on pale or light skin, while brighter colors are suggested on olive or brown skin. Some makeup artists suggest choosing a shade by the resulting color that shows when you make a fist for about ten seconds.
