Flushed emoji: copy and paste
Flushed face, U+1F633, is the only emoji CLDR files under flushed, and it is filed under embarrassed and awkward as well. Smiling face with smiling eyes is the pleased blush: glad and satisfied are two of its words. Hot face is red from heat and is filed under neither.
Shy emoji: copy and paste
CLDR files two emoji under shy: Face with peeking eye and Folding hand fan. The pair sent as shy is two index fingers pointing at each other: Shy pair, flushed and three more tiles put a face with it.
- In a text blush the cheeks are commas or slashes each side of the eyes: (,,^.^,,) and (//^.^//).
- Folding hand fan is from Emoji 15.0, so an older device shows an empty box.

Which emoji is the blushing emoji?
Smiling face with smiling eyes, U+1F60A, for a pleased blush, and Flushed face, U+1F633, for an embarrassed one. No emoji has blush in its name; CLDR, the word list behind emoji keyboards, files the first under blush and the second under flushed.

How do you make the shy fingers?
Put Backhand index pointing right before Backhand index pointing left, so the two fingertips meet. Four tiles here copy the pair with a face beside it; the pair alone is a tile of the pointing page.

Type (,,o.o,,): parentheses, two commas each side for cheeks, and wide eyes made of the letter o with a period between. Swap the commas for slashes and it is (//o.o//).
