blush
Flush with embarrassment
Blush is the reddening of the face from embarrassment, shame, or modesty: She felt a blush creep up her cheeks.
The verb means to redden this way: He blushed when she caught him staring.
By extension, blush describes any rosy tint—a blush wine is pale pink, and blush as a cosmetic adds color to cheeks.
At first blush means on initial impression: At first blush, the plan seemed reasonable.
