Blush might not top the list of no-excuses, must-have makeup for everyone, but if we're being completely honest, it's the one makeup staple that when done right, completely boosts even the simplest looks. The thing is, though, for darker skin, it can be tricky finding a blush shade that doesn't leave your cheeks looking ashy. You can run into products and formulas that are too pale, too pearlescent, or not the right texture for oily or dry skin.
