i always wanted pinky cheecks more natural i think but even if i buy those that are pink it will still turn out orange..
look: http://www.geocities.com/nat_boa_vista/new.html
so everytime it will mismatch with my lipstick or gloss..
does it have to do with my freckles? its not so visable in the picture but does having freakles make it become orange?
and my lips will turn out pink instead.
any make up expert plz help .. any kind of foundation etc? to use.
thanks

your skin is oxidize, try cream blush
EDIT:
“oxidize" just means to change when exposed to oxygen, and most things change somewhat when exposed to other elements. If your skin is oily then you wear oil-based make up/foundation, it will turn orange on the skin after wearing them for awhile. This is because the extra oil in them affects the pigments, causing them to oxidize.
My suggestion is try a water-based foundation and cream blushes, its work best.

Well, it's hard to know without seeing your skin tone and the actual blusher you're using! But...It could be the blusher you're using isn't the best colour match for your skin. I suggest you go to the make up department of a department store at your local mall (or some place similar) and have them help you. Tell them the effect you want and the problems you're having - they're trained and will be able to give you some good advice.
However, you usually have to buy something from them! Given you're using brand name stuff, then this is probably your best bet. Go to a bobbi brown or clarins counter, take the blusher/s you normally use or have recently used and ask them for their advice!
If you really can't stretch to something like that, then take a trusted friend or relative with you and spend some time in a store with cheaper makeup and play with the testers. Put some blusher on your cheeks and get them to look at it in the light and see what they think. An extra set of eyes never goes astray! Make sure you take tissues and something to really remove the blusher with so you can try multiple ones.

Most likely what is happening is that the blush is mixing with oil on your face and this is causing the color change. Try applying powder to your face before blush and using blotting papers during the day to absorb oil. You can also try a liquid, gel, or cream blush which isn't as prone to changing color as a powder. BeneFit's BeneTint, Vincent Longo Lip & Cheek Gel Stain, Tarte Cheek Stain & Almay Touch-Pad blush are good ones.

It sounds like you are buying blusher with the wrong undertones. Instead of going for a pink, go for a reddish color instead. (like your cheeks have just been slapped or you've just been skiing). Try a reddish color and I bet that will work. You might have to experiment by mixing colors together - that's what I do. That's the fun with makeup. Good luck to you!

it may be your foundation, not your blush... i assume because you have freckels you are fair skinned, so using a foundation with too warm an undertone can make you orangeish... try an ivory shade, something that is a cooler undertones, and your blush problem will probaly resolve itself....

I think maybe you're buying the wrong brands of makeups and the wrong brands of blushes.

you need to pick out a blush that is a cool shade, not warm or even neutral. try to use a blush only 2 shades darker than your skin.

you more then likely have a warm skin tone. You need to make sure the makeup you use is for that.
