É possível ficar vermelho de vergonha, mas também ficar vermelho de modéstia, confusão, excitação, raiva e até mesmo amor. "Blush" (e também "flush") pode ser usado com todos os estados. Algumas sugestões para diferenciá-los:
- She turned red with embarrassment / blushed with shame when her mom asked her what type of pads she needed at the store.
- Tim is a shy, modest guy who blushes at the slightest compliment addressed to him.
- Mrs. Smith notices Anne's transformed countenance, correctly “diagnosing” the cause to be the presence of a lover, and causing her to blush in confusion.
- "No! No!" A slender Indian jumped to his feet, his face flushed with excitement, dark brown eyes flashing.
- You could see that Lily was blushing with anger, even though she tried to conceal it.
- I wandered about and came to a photograph of a woman looking lost and bewildered, with a forced smile if ever I saw one. The caption read, "Pale homesickness will soon give way to rosy blush of love as war bride meets love of her life."

There is a popular expression "to turn beet red." Virar cor de beterraba.
I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that when you handle cut beet slices your hands easily stain red. And beet stains on clothing are no fun (see http://www.ehow.com/how_2307282_remove- ... tains.html).
Is there a similar expression in Portuguese?

Furthermore, as we know, ''Blush'' is also the make up which girls use in their cheeks, and it has a straight resemblance with the expression we are talking about here.
