Orange is usually not the shade of blush we would normally reach for, but the Koreans managed to make it look wearable and natural. Wear a light wash of these tangerine tones, or even do a duo-tone cheek colour with a peach or pink blusher to really elevate the look like the one demonstrated below.

These Dusty Rose Blushers Will Look Flattering On Just About Any Skin Tone
Here are 10 of our favourite blushers that are wearable and flattering in almost all skin tones.
With a lighter gold tone which complements the orange, this blush duo lets you contour and highlight cheeks easily.
This versatile blush duo can be used both wet or dry. Spritz a facial mist over your blusher brush and swipe the colour over your cheeks for a see-through water colour finish on your cheeks or just use a dry brush for an intense colour.
The light gel-mousse texture of this blusher dries to a powder finish almost immediately after application. We love using this with the silicon end of the Shiseido Daiya Fude Brush Duo to dab the colour on cheeks and blending it out.
The colour might look intimidating at first but the bright orange applies to a sheer wash of colour and is also versatile enough to be used on your eyes and lips if you want to.
Go bold or go home. This Urban Decay blush is not for the faint of heart and looks stunning on those with darker skin tones. On lighter skin tones, we would recommend being light-handed with it, using a fluffy blusher brush and tapping the colour on the back of your hand before applying it on your face.

If you’re not one to take the full plunge into orange blushers, then go for this pocket-friendly cheek palette. The gold highlighter is a great warm-tone highlighter which complements the orange and terracotta cheek colours perfectly.
3CE is our go-to for trendy Korean makeup and they don’t disappoint. Besides this blusher, they have a wide selection of other cheek colours in different formats like cushion, cream and duos. The Face Blush in My Muse is a classic orange that flatters pale skin very well.
With Korean celebrity Min Hyo Rin fronting the Clinique makeup range, it’s no wonder the new Cheek Pop colours really flatter Asian skin tones. The blusher shade in Poppy Pop is a muted orange that is suitable for daily wear, and looks great for those with light to medium skin tones.
If there’s one thing we know about Rihanna, it’s that her makeup brand Fenty is not apologetic about the colours they introduce to the range, like the Stunna Lip Paint in Uninvited, a black liquid lipstick. The Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in Chili Mango is one of those colours and at first glance, can look daunting but when blended out, reveals an amazing wearable orange. We highly recommend pairing it with the Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in Ridiic, a orangey-red that goes well with Chili Mango.
We have to admit, when we thought of orange blushers, Lancome wasn’t the first brand that came to mind but the Cushion Blush Subtil Powder Blush is one of our favourite blushers and it came in a warm orange tone which is perfect for our list. The cushion blush blends easily and dries to a powder finish without ruining your foundation underneath.
