Adrenaline (released as part of your “fight or flight response, like when you’re embarrassed) causes your veins to dilate, or get larger to accommodate more blood flow. This includes the veins in your face. The veins are larger, and there’s more blood flowing in your face, and they show through your skin, giving the reddened appearance.

But blush is the mix of the words “blood rush”, so I suppose that it’s blood rushing to our cheeks and spreading (in some cases) the rest of the face
