The Best Local Blush Shades for Morena Girlies

Dear morena, are you feeling challenged looking for the perfect blush for you? Don't fret—we're here to help. While your golden complexion must be taken into account, other factors like the country's climate also comes into play, making it a little more of a hit or miss when you shop. Thankfully though, there are countless local brands that have heard our requests, and have upped their game in widening their shade range for beloved Pinays.

According to pro makeup artist Chuchie Ledesma who is a staple at local weddings, debuts, and the entertainment industry, 'Morenas, contrary to popular belief, can wear any blush color they want. It's makeup, have fun with it! Just keep in mind that the deeper your skintone goes, your blush color should go deeper as well. For example, you want to wear a pink blush, choose deeper pinks like old rose, rich berries, or magenta. Pastels or muted blush rarely work on deeper skintones as it tends to make it look dull or washed out.'
