How can you get a sunkissed glow while staying faithful to your sunscreen? With these brilliant blush tricks you can get a touch of healthy color without sacrificing your skin's safety.
1. Use the Same Shade for Lips + Cheeks

Anne Hathaway uses the same pink stain for both her lips and her cheeks, creating a natural flushed glow. She lets her pretty coloring take center stage by leaving her eyes bare -- just a coat of black mascara is enough when your cheeks and lips are roughed.
2. Candy Pink is Universally Flattering

Wearing a bright color instantly brings a certain radiance, as Blake Lively shows, but her candy pink blush makes her positively shine. This universally flattering shade brightens anyone's face in an instant.
3. Rose Makes Cheeks Pop
If all-over bronzer is just too much brilliance for you, consider a touch of rose blush on the apples of your cheeks. To recreate the subtly sunkissed look of Emma Roberts, dot cream blush on your cheeks and gently blend the color in a circular motion in the softest part of your cheek.
4. Shimmery Peach Highlights Cheekbones

The easiest, most natural way to make it look as though you spent the weekend in the sun is not to cover your face in bronzer; take a cue from Ashley Olsen, and simply sweep peach powder (shimmery, preferably!) along the contours of your cheekbones.
5. Mauve is a Brilliant Bronzer

When in doubt, do like Brittany Snow and get a glow by filling your makeup brush with pretty mauve powder and dust it on your cheeks and across the bridge of your nose. (And Brittany further proves the point that wearing pink is unequaled to giving an insta-glow.)
