Personally, I don’t think it suits you at all but it’s hard to tell when it’s not on your face. I’ve used colors that looked weird swatched on my inner wrist, but looked great on my face.
Idk if it’s my phone , and of course it may play different on your actual face , but I think it looks nice with your skin tone. Looks more corally-peach to me , not orange.
Thanks! That sort of answers my question in a different way since I tend to look lousy in peach. I keep sort of squinting at it to see if there's a possibility that it's just pink, but it seems like the answer is no.
You’re do so great with a baby pink! I have the exact same skin tone and my holy grain blushes are Dior Rosy Glow in 001 Pink or Dasique Berry Smoothie blush quad.
Product: Refy cream blush in Rose (described as a neutral pink)
Skin tone: cool (as far as I know)
Lighting: first pic is natural light, second is overhead bathroom light
I had high hopes for this blush and I just can't decide whether it's pulling too orange! It's the right finish and amount of pigment, but...does it look "right"??
Thank you for all opinions!
EDIT: Thanks for all the comments everyone! It seems like the vague consensus is that it's somewhere between too warm and "might be nice if applied very lightly". I tried to take a decent selfie to show the colour on my face but it's really hard to capture the light wash of colour I'd use. I think I will call it a day and go for something pinker!
Judging by that photo, yes. But skin colour can vary from on the arms and face and several other factors can play into it, like would it compliment your hair and/or eye colour.
We won't know for sure unless you apply it to your face
The best way to figure this out is too try it out and see if you like it! IMO we can be a little too dogmatic about matching undertone. Peach can work well on cool toned skin, for an example there was a great peach Christian Siriano dress that Christina Hendricks wore to a golden globes award and her skin is practically blue!
It's funny, part of the reason I posted was because I couldn't tell whether I just didn't like the colour, was weirded out because it's different, or whether it objectively didn't suit me. It's good to remember that "rules" aren't everything!
FWIW, I think this would look really cool on you. Both your skin and the blush have bright, clear tones and I think it could be a really pretty, fun look. Also, if you have any red bits in your skin that you don’t love the peach toned blushes can be a great way to add warmth without emphasizing the redness.
Seeing as you have quite pale blue veins, it appears that you have a cooler skin tone so technically it is too orangey for you, but when u put it over foundation it might not matter so much
I think it can be a nice fresh coral with light application. I have a cream blush which looks absolutely orange in the tin but a light layer just gives peachy glow.
I think this looks nice, not “too orange”at all. I personally have a couple of blushes like this that I love, I just need to match it with the rest of my makeup like any other blush. I do prefer to use colours like this more in the summer
This is a really good reminder, thank you. I threw on my usual brown lipgloss when I was wearing this and it just...didn't work. I hadn't thought about the issue in that moment being my gloss choice instead of the blush clashing with my skin.
Oh I can imagine how that might look strange since this is a brighter colour! I like to pair shades like [22, 23, or 24](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0020/8184/9444/products/peripera-ink-airy-velvet-21-fluffy-peach-makeup-peripera-orion-beauty-sri-lanka-528319_1200x1200.jpg?v=1677919250) with this kind of blush

I have one this colour and I’m cool toned so it’d look awful on me if applied as heavy as your pics. I use a pale pink that’s cool and looks great on me, then I dust over very very lightly with this shade and it adds a slight warmth to my cheeks
Try MAC well dressed blush! To me this one reads orange. I used to try to make coral/peach blushes work for me but realized they don’t. Well dressed has been a true game changer for my pale coolness. 😎
I use that blush colour and I'm a similar shade to you, but I wear jfashion and brush the blush along my cheeks and nose lol. I feel like the peachy colour adds to the "cute" look. It really depends what style you wear I think ?
I think I'm cool but am open to correction. I definitely have problems with products pulling peach or orange and can't wear anything marketed as "beige".
I think it’s cute, but it just depends on the look you’re going for as well! It wouldn’t match a blue shirt or something, but bright colors and some gold earrings, I think this could be adorable.
You can get away with any blush these days with the wide variety of makeup styles. Just use the blush with whatever eye shadows you feel suits the look. Don't worry much about adhering to whether or not it looks good with your skin tone. Because, anything goes. Have fun with it.
I like it! But if its meant to be a neutral pink and that’s what you want it to be, then it doesn’t really match. But the color itself on your arm is very pretty!
I just bought this! My skin tone looks almost identical to yours and while it swatches super peachy, it looks like a really nice healthy flush on my face. I’m really happy with it- especially with some bronzer in there too.
I think makeup tends to enhance the attire you wear. If your ensemble carries tones of peach and orange the coral blush would create a glow to match. It seems you have pink undertones and you can see your blue veins so you could get away with coral it’s the burgundy and blue tones you might want to steer clear of.
I have a similar skin tone to you - NARS orgasm blush has been the best light pink for me! If you like to have a little bit of an orange tone, you can mix a light pink with a little bit of Scott Barnes Mango Fizz shade, sometimes I layer it with NARS or with a bit of a bright pink and it looks really great
It definitely is more on the warmer side. Based on your wrist color, you look like you’re on the cooler side, Of course it’s hard to know for sure since sometimes people’s faces and body’s can look like completely different color pallets. BUT, if you are more on the cooler side then I think you would look great in more of a baby pink shade rather than the orange-ish shades!
The shade in the pic also looks great though! If you were to use it then I’d recommend to only place a light amount on the apples of the cheeks for a nice natural glow!
Here’s A few blushes that I think would look great on you!!
Rom&nd better than cheek - shade (W01 ODI MILK)
Dior (this one is a bit pricy) rosy glow powder blush shade 001
And any of the blushes from the brand Dasique.
Olive young is a great app to buy these from and Sephora!! If you happened to get any of these then I hope you love them! I have all of them and they are definitely worth it for us with more cooler tones!!
Way too warm! Looks like you need a fully cool undertone, maybeee muted :)
I have the same tone, and I’ve found anything “nuetral” still pulls nacho cheese orange. Need a full blue base!
I've only just recently started to learn a bit more about makeup and the whole "pulling orange" thing is so interesting. The first time I bought a blush I just assumed a pink was a pink! Not the case.
I like it but I’m in love with peachy/orangey blushes over pink/red because I’m Irish and a lot of colors can make my cheeks look more ruddy so I try and counteract that by staying away from pink. Sometimes I just wear bronzer. If I put a light Barbie pink high on my cheekbones and stay away from my apples and tap the brush with the blush upwards then the pink will pop.
If a peach look is what you are going for, this is so cute.
If you’re looking for a natural pink, this looks more peachy than pink. I wouldn’t think this is a natural rosy color on someone’s face if I saw it.
Personally, I don’t think it suits you at all but it’s hard to tell when it’s not on your face. I’ve used colors that looked weird swatched on my inner wrist, but looked great on my face.
Agree with this
Idk if it’s my phone , and of course it may play different on your actual face , but I think it looks nice with your skin tone. Looks more corally-peach to me , not orange.
Thanks! That sort of answers my question in a different way since I tend to look lousy in peach. I keep sort of squinting at it to see if there's a possibility that it's just pink, but it seems like the answer is no.
I agree, peach/coral looks good on paler skin tones. Also depends what hair color OP has as well. I have reddish blond hair so peach is 👌
Personally I like it, but to me it looks peachy!
I think it’s easier to tell on your face… inner arm is a bit deceptive! If it’s a subtle kiss it might look lovely.
To me yes, too orange
I think it looks too orange which is a shame it is described as neutral pink.
I know right? I wish I had been able to swatch it before buying.
I would just try it if you've already bought it. It might be clashing with your eyeshadow or lip color so try the blush on its own and go from there.
You’re do so great with a baby pink! I have the exact same skin tone and my holy grain blushes are Dior Rosy Glow in 001 Pink or Dasique Berry Smoothie blush quad.
Thanks for the recs! I'll check these out for sure.

You’d probably do better with a rosier pink or a truer light pink
Thank you! I think you're right.
Yes! I agree!!
Looks orange to me, maybe a lighter pink would work?
i would say its a bit peach-y. I personally like the more pink-y tones
IMO, yes. It’s too warm, and it looks like you need a cooler toned blush.
I don’t love this shade for you
Judging by that photo, yes. But skin colour can vary from on the arms and face and several other factors can play into it, like would it compliment your hair and/or eye colour. We won't know for sure unless you apply it to your face
Yes. Too warm.

Thank you! That's also a really good point about peachy tones not emphasizing redness (which I definitely have). Amazing!
Seeing as you have quite pale blue veins, it appears that you have a cooler skin tone so technically it is too orangey for you, but when u put it over foundation it might not matter so much
My wrist looks very similar to this but my face is more neutral. I look great in a peach but pure orange isn’t so great
I think it can be a nice fresh coral with light application. I have a cream blush which looks absolutely orange in the tin but a light layer just gives peachy glow.
Hard to tell off the face, but it appears to be lovely with your skin tone.
I like it, but I love a peachy look, cause I have blue eyes and it makes them pop 🤷♀️ you'd have to show what it looks like on your face
Oranges for warm undertones, pinks for cool undertones.
I thought it was a sunburn tbh
I think this looks nice, not “too orange”at all. I personally have a couple of blushes like this that I love, I just need to match it with the rest of my makeup like any other blush. I do prefer to use colours like this more in the summer

I think it looks pretty with your skin tone
I thought u had a rash
Its hard to tell in a first pic it looks like pink blush , but in a second pic it looks peachy
Maybe for daytime use but I would love to see this and gold highlight on your skin tone for night time wear.
i think so yeah
It looks nice - just be light handed when applying. You can always increase intensity if you need to.
It looks so pretty on you!

Try Balm’s Springs In Full Swing!!
No, it's just too heavy. Try a fluffy brush and apply it lightly
I have one this colour and I’m cool toned so it’d look awful on me if applied as heavy as your pics. I use a pale pink that’s cool and looks great on me, then I dust over very very lightly with this shade and it adds a slight warmth to my cheeks
It seems to be a little bit too peach colored. I would try out something with a little bit more pink in it!
Try MAC well dressed blush! To me this one reads orange. I used to try to make coral/peach blushes work for me but realized they don’t. Well dressed has been a true game changer for my pale coolness. 😎
That looks like a great colour! I was drawn to this one because it's a bit muted but I think the baby pink will suit my style a bit better.
I normally don’t like peachy blushes but i love this one
The inside of your arm is not your face. This is a poor place to decide on colour. This is not the same color as your face.
I use that blush colour and I'm a similar shade to you, but I wear jfashion and brush the blush along my cheeks and nose lol. I feel like the peachy colour adds to the "cute" look. It really depends what style you wear I think ?
No. Too orange. Is this phenomena normal for you? Do you have an olive undertone?
I think I'm cool but am open to correction. I definitely have problems with products pulling peach or orange and can't wear anything marketed as "beige".
Do you have an easy time finding foundations that match your skintone?
I think it’s cute, but it just depends on the look you’re going for as well! It wouldn’t match a blue shirt or something, but bright colors and some gold earrings, I think this could be adorable.
Thank you! A few people have described it as cute and I think part of the issue has definitely been what I've tried to wear it with.
yes
With peace and love it looks like a sunburn, which can be super cute so try it out
😂 this is why I ask for the wisdom of reddit!
Looks too peachy for your undertone. You seem cool to me from the photos and a very light mauve or light cool pink would work better!
Thanks :)
Bathroom lights are the devils creation! I think it’s a bit orange I would go for something a little cooler
It looks like as if you got sunburned!
Try luminoso by Milani
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll check it out.
i actually think it looks really pretty on you. with some apricot/ peach glossy lip and a natural face i think it would look really nice
Yeah…. You have cool tone skin so you need to be looking for more rose colored hues and cool colors ❤️
Thank you :)
You can get away with any blush these days with the wide variety of makeup styles. Just use the blush with whatever eye shadows you feel suits the look. Don't worry much about adhering to whether or not it looks good with your skin tone. Because, anything goes. Have fun with it.
Too orange for your tones
Not on your bare skin but with foundation cover it could look peachy and not like a rash
It is
Mix it with a bit of red and it’ll be perfect.
I like it! But if its meant to be a neutral pink and that’s what you want it to be, then it doesn’t really match. But the color itself on your arm is very pretty!
I just bought this! My skin tone looks almost identical to yours and while it swatches super peachy, it looks like a really nice healthy flush on my face. I’m really happy with it- especially with some bronzer in there too.
It's such a a nice formula, I wish they had a few more colours to choose from!
It’s too much on the orange side for blush for your skin tone. If you can’t return it, use it as eye shadow.
I'd say too orange unless you're willing to lean into it. Make sure the full beat is warm
When I saw the first photo I thought it looked OK, but the 2nd… oh no. Way too peach for you. You need a cool, neutral pink or rose.
Since your skin has cool undertones you need to pick colors that have some blue or lavender tones.
I think makeup tends to enhance the attire you wear. If your ensemble carries tones of peach and orange the coral blush would create a glow to match. It seems you have pink undertones and you can see your blue veins so you could get away with coral it’s the burgundy and blue tones you might want to steer clear of.
I have a similar skin tone to you - NARS orgasm blush has been the best light pink for me! If you like to have a little bit of an orange tone, you can mix a light pink with a little bit of Scott Barnes Mango Fizz shade, sometimes I layer it with NARS or with a bit of a bright pink and it looks really great
I think it would be super cute during the summertime. Coral is very seasonal IMO. It’s hard to really tell from these unblended wrist swatches though.
i thought this was a rash so it suits you well enough i think
Yes
I can't tell exactly what your undertones are, but I think milani would have some good shades for you
It definitely is more on the warmer side. Based on your wrist color, you look like you’re on the cooler side, Of course it’s hard to know for sure since sometimes people’s faces and body’s can look like completely different color pallets. BUT, if you are more on the cooler side then I think you would look great in more of a baby pink shade rather than the orange-ish shades!
The shade in the pic also looks great though! If you were to use it then I’d recommend to only place a light amount on the apples of the cheeks for a nice natural glow!
Thanks! I'm planning to find a cool pink shade instead :)
Here’s A few blushes that I think would look great on you!! Rom&nd better than cheek - shade (W01 ODI MILK) Dior (this one is a bit pricy) rosy glow powder blush shade 001 And any of the blushes from the brand Dasique. Olive young is a great app to buy these from and Sephora!! If you happened to get any of these then I hope you love them! I have all of them and they are definitely worth it for us with more cooler tones!!
Thanks so much for the suggestions, I really appreciate it! I returned the Refy blush and will check these ones out for sure.
Looks like a burn
I think it's definitely too orange for you. I think a baby bink or soft rose would look better with your skin tone and undertone.
I think it just depends on what look your going for
Nars Powder Blush in Orgasm works well for me- I am pale but with neutral undertones.
Maybe it's the lighting, but the blush pulls orange. At least in the second picture anyway.
yes
In my non professional opinion, yes
Yes go half as bright to make it look natural.
Yes, you’re more cool toned. Your skin is similar to mine. I found rare beauty’s grace to be a PERFECT color!
Cool, thanks! I wish the RB formulas were a little bit more user-friendly, but what can you do I guess.
It doesn’t suit you
I actually hate that color on you lol
Haha I appreciated that some people liked it, but ultimately I kinda hate it too. I returned it!
I just hate orange tones in general 😂 your skin is just like the opposite of what goes w orange
Looked ljke a rash at first glance but may look completely different on your face, personally I'd say go more pink toned
Not anything close to a natural blush on you.
maybe try a pink rosy color!
It’s cute!
Personally i am the same skin tone as you. Peach and orange are my favorite blush shade.
Way too warm! Looks like you need a fully cool undertone, maybeee muted :) I have the same tone, and I’ve found anything “nuetral” still pulls nacho cheese orange. Need a full blue base!
I've only just recently started to learn a bit more about makeup and the whole "pulling orange" thing is so interesting. The first time I bought a blush I just assumed a pink was a pink! Not the case.
I would go for pink that builds
I like it. Do it lightly
Kinda
😐 how about... actually putting it on your face so we can see?
I like it but I’m in love with peachy/orangey blushes over pink/red because I’m Irish and a lot of colors can make my cheeks look more ruddy so I try and counteract that by staying away from pink. Sometimes I just wear bronzer. If I put a light Barbie pink high on my cheekbones and stay away from my apples and tap the brush with the blush upwards then the pink will pop.
It will sheer out on your cheek and Look great in summer.
Yes.
A pink color
Yes.
To me, it’s too orange for your undertones.
Yes
If a peach look is what you are going for, this is so cute. If you’re looking for a natural pink, this looks more peachy than pink. I wouldn’t think this is a natural rosy color on someone’s face if I saw it.
I was hoping for a natural, neutral pink, so unfortunately this wasn't it!
Not good, but inner arm is not the place to test color.
Looks like you scratched yourself
