I was lucky enough to learn this trick first hand from the exceedingly talented Yvonne MacInnis, the Global Educating Artist for Marc Jacobs Beauty.

The secret, it seems, lies in your lips - literally. Luckily, I learned there's a much simpler explanation to choosing your perfect shade. In the past, I'd delve into lengthy discussions on skin surface tone and undertone – concepts that generally cause confusion in the average makeup-wearer's brain.

If you're not sure which hue to pick, keep this weird blush trick in your back pocket and never choose the wrong blush again.Īs a makeup artist, I get asked about blush more than any other makeup product. Choose the wrong shade, and something won't feel quite right.

Find the perfect color, and you'll look wonderfully flushed. In my opinion, blush is the most personal part of makeup.
