With so many shade variations in the world of blushes, choosing the right one will keep you from going too far and looking like a clown. Today’s Beauty Tip of the Day will help you choose the best one that will also be the most natural on you.

In the olden days (before pretty much everything you can recognize around you) women used to pinch their cheeks before they met a lover or suitor to get a natural flushed-tone. Playing on that same idea, it may be a bit weird but aiming for that color that surfaces after pinching actually ends up the best shade for your face.

If you find a blush or cheek stain that comes pretty close or matches it, you’ll be able to have the prettiest, most natural glow for your face.
