Make sure that the shades of these colors suit your skin tone. So, test it on your skin before you buy one. Proper blending of foundation is must. You can dab some powder after applying foundation.
  • Blush will help you out to increase the beauty of the face. But before applying blush, there is option for applying bronzer for brunettes. Bronzers will help you to get the effect of tanned skin as the color of tanned skin matches the hair color and this is for what most of the women use bronzer. First apply bronzer on the cheeks and then to create a natural look just sweep blush with a brush on the cheeks. If your skin color is light then you can select pink or red shade for blush and for ones who have dark skin choose brown shades.
