Smile and circle it around<br /> the apple of your cheek. Then stroke blush over whole cheek shape and up into<br /> temple area. This is an even lighter coating and shouldn't show any strong demarcation. Use a blush with whatever is a somewhat darker and browner shade for you. I guess could be rosier or peachier. You get all over color, but a browner color.<br /> Then just on the apples, repeat technique with a "brighter" shade, she says. Just gives you a little highlight of color. I'm thinking that brighter means simply a shade without the browning down and a little more cheerful. That Cover Girl product I mentioned stays on for an eternity. If you don't take it off, it'll be there next day, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-shade-help-for-indian-skin-tone#post-612352 Fri, 04 May 2012 17:51:18 +0000 ManidipaM 612352@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Go for approximately the colour of the inside of your lower lip, and apply with a light hand. Works as a natural blush for most people that way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-shade-help-for-indian-skin-tone#post-612346 Fri, 04 May 2012 17:44:21 +0000 Nidhi 612346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I checked out Iman and Nars online and they do seem to have a promising collection. Vildy , you go tme interested on the technique but the video isn't accessible </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-shade-help-for-indian-skin-tone#post-611610 Thu, 03 May 2012 20:23:03 +0000 Sylvie 611610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have access to Nars? I am of Indian origin and find Nars Deep Throat works very well for my skin tone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-shade-help-for-indian-skin-tone#post-611608 Thu, 03 May 2012 20:20:17 +0000 Vildy 611608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Take a look at the technique in this video. I swear by it. No, I don't have your color skin, nor does she, but the principles work. She uses two colors. A slightly duskier over the entire cheek area and a slightly brighter on the apples. I use that rounded tip brush she recommends and I smack it 5 or 6 times to get the excess off. Then I start with the apples and then flick it around over the whole cheek area and up the temples. </p> <p>Me, I use Cover Girl Cheekers (with my own brush) Golden Pink, which has that base<br /> of brownish pink on my skin.<br /> <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/video/2011/mar/12/beauty-blusher" rel="nofollow">http://www.guardian.co.uk/life.....ty-blusher</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-shade-help-for-indian-skin-tone#post-611583 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:57:23 +0000 Victoria 611583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you looked into Iman's makeup line? She has some great shades(medium to dark) for ethnic skintones. As for color, judging from your description, I would go with natural rose shade(kind of like rose with hint of brown type color). I would think that brighter pink shades wouldn't be right for you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/blush-shade-help-for-indian-skin-tone#post-611569 Thu, 03 May 2012 19:37:36 +0000 Nidhi 611569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an average brown Indian skin tone - neither too chocolatey nor fair-skinned. I think wheatish is the right word to describe it? Not very sure. I have hardly used blush earlier thanks to the fact that I grossly misjudge the shades that suit me and end up looking like a clown with unnatural pink spots on my brown cheeks. I would like to set that right and add a nice and natural looking blush that can be used on my face without looking "made-up". Any shade suggestions? I have an oily T-zone and the skin on my cheeks is normal - so powder based as well as cream based should work for me. </p>
