the only emotion that paints itself on your face without permission.

means To redden in the face from embarrassment, shame, or modesty — or, of a thing, to take on a soft pink tint.

from From Old English blyscan, to glow red or grow ruddy, related to a wider Germanic family for redness and shining — a cousin of words like blaze and blood's bright hue. The notion was always heat made visible: skin lit up like a banked ember catching air.
