How to choose?
Focus on your natural blush - you want a blush of about the same tone, only a little more pronounced.
Remember that bright blush is not suitable for everyday wear, no matter how contrasting your appearance may be. Choose the softest tones, as if emphasizing your cheekbones or cheeks.
You can also match them to your lip color or lipstick.
Blush is selected according to the color and type of skin. So, girls with oily, problematic or combination skin are contraindicated in liquid and cream blush, as they mix with skin secretions and clog pores. The ideal option is dry or blush-balls.
Owners of dry skin can pay special attention to creamy blush.

Tanned brunettes suitable bronze, peach, terracotta shades and tones with brown. For light, pink and beige are ideal. Since brunettes are bright enough, dark and saturated colors will not suit them.
Brown-haired women with fair skin, you need to pay attention to beige-pink, peach and golden hues. With darker skin - brown-pink gamma.
red ladies suitable peach, brown-pink and brick blush.
How to distinguish a fake from the original?
The more the cosmetic market grows, the more fakes appear or, as it is fashionable to say now, replicas. And, it seems, there is nothing special in the desire to purchase the right shade from the right company for a lower amount. However, buying fakes brings with it a number of significant disadvantages - when it comes to skin products, these are rashes, allergies, various rashes and clogged pores. Therefore, it is very important to distinguish a fake from the original.
First of all, the price can give out a fake. It is usually prohibitively low for a brand. Next comes the place of purchase - dubious kiosks in the subway or online stores that have no reviews. It is very important - if you order blush through the Internet, make sure that the store is worthy and can be trusted. To do this, find reviews on it on the Internet and read carefully. Otherwise, you may receive a poor-quality product, or you will not receive anything at all.
Packaging may not differ from the original in any way - in the age of photoshop and information technology, choosing the same fonts and colors is not difficult. But directly shades of blush can. They either differ by a couple of semitones, or the seller does not have all the shades produced in your country. He also may not have product samples.
The texture may differ - profitable or not profitable, but it is most difficult to fake it. Fake blush is always looser than thick brand blush.
Of course, the main sign of fake blush is their application. They are unstable, crumble, do not hold color well. However, it is undesirable to reach this point - because you cannot return a low-quality replica to the manufacturer.There is also always the possibility that you will come across a quality product that will be safe, and you may never know that it is a fake. But is it worth the risk.
Reviews
Blush "Little Round Pot Blush" have a rating of 4.7 and fairly positive reviews. Firstly, there is a large universal palette - you can find both matte and blush with a slight sheen, neutral pink or neutral beige. There are blushes for all occasions. It is impossible to overdo it with them, they are easy to blend out, pick up on the brush without any problems and are well pigmented. One of the main features of the company Bourjois – steadfastness did not disappoint here either. But from the minuses of the customer, they distinguish an uncomfortable harsh brush in the set and a small mirror. However, compared to the quality and affordable price, these are mere trifles.
Blush "Depuis 1863" not unreasonably called a good replacement for luxury products. Their rating is 4.6, and the reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Girls are very fond of shimmering blush from this line - the glow is very delicate and will probably suit even combination skin. There are also completely everyday matte pigments. The packaging is noted - like all Bourjois blushes, it is with a mirror, a brush and a magnetic button, which will prevent the blush from opening on its own in a purse or crumbling. Contains no parabens or other chemicals. It is very important that the blush does not stain the skin - it is very easy to shade them (even with an attached brush, although the girls do not really like its quality - they say it is harsh). They are dust-free and can be layered to control color saturation.The classic for the brand smell of a rose is seen a little differently here - rather, as just a spicy-sweet aroma, and not everyone likes it. However, the aroma disappears almost immediately, so it will not cause discomfort.
