If your skin tone is on the medium side and has a cool undertone, choose a blush shade that's still in line with the pink family. A darker pink such as mauve or muted pink would perfectly complement your skin tone and is perfect for giving you that gorgeous hint of color on your cheeks. Our faves: Clinique Cheek Pop in Fig Pop, $24, Urban Decay Naked Flushed in Nooner, $34, and Sephora Collection Colorful Face Powders in Shame on You, $14.

With this skin tone and undertone, you already have natural warmth on your face, so you don't have to go overboard with a blush. Apricot shades are best to give that extra boost of color on your cheeks. Check out L'Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Blush in Apricot Kiss, $7.99, Nars Blush in Luster, $30, and Make Up For Ever HD Blush in 515, $26.

If you have darker skin, you should seek out colors that are bright and pigmented. Don't be afraid to choose bold colors such as plums and berries — they will actually look natural (not to mention lovely) with your skin tone. Our faves: Milk Makeup Lip + Cheek in Quickie, $24, and Shiseido Minimalist Whipped Powder Blush in Ayao, $29. Looking to change things up? Give the eight-shade Morphe 8C Cool Pro Blush Palette, $20, a try.

Out of all skin tones, a bright orange looks best on warm-undertoned, dark skin. It may look intense on the pan but once applied, it gives your cheeks that sun-kissed look at any season. Some of our favorites include Fenty Beauty Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in Chili Mango, $25, Hourglass Illume Sheer Color Trio, $62, and NYX Baked Blush in Ignite, $6.99.
