As a lifelong blush obsessive, I’ve tried just about every formula and finish out there in the hope of finding the very best blusher. So, when it comes to finding the best shades for dark skin tones, I know my stuff. It wasn’t always this way, though. For years, blush was an afterthought in the make-up bags of dark-skinned beauty lovers, thanks to limited shade ranges and tricky undertones.
Thankfully, that era is over. With brands big and small finally expanding their blush offerings—and make-up artists like Esther Edeme (a proud blush fanatic) showcasing vibrant, high-pigment looks on icons like Naomi Campbell and SZA—it’s clear that the old myths about blush “not working” on dark skin no longer hold up.
