All of us have been obsessing over blush these last few years, and rightfully so. This craze has led to beauty brands constantly innovating with product format, textures and shades! While we saw red blush take the Internet by storm recently, the latest one to strike is the orange blush! Orange blush seems to be a celebrity favourite too! Lately, we’ve spotted a bunch of stars sporting this colour, and let’s just say that we’re obsessed.
While it may not be everyone’s first choice but shades of orange offer versatility; they work for warm and cool tones both, and suit the Indian skin tones well. Most people find it overpowering but the key to perfecting the application of this colour is getting the correct shade and formulation. If you’re not afraid of going all out, powder blush is your best bet as it offers deep pigment. However, if you want to keep it subtle with a hint of colour, then opt for a cream blush.
Swipe to take a look at a few!
Now, if you are convinced to give it a try, we’ve got you covered with our top picks!

Russet is a deep orange hue which suits medium to dark skin tones the best. A little product goes a long way with this one due to its intense pigment.
