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.
