HELLLLLOOOO HELLO 👋🏽 my Cheeky Coquettes! It's the Awesome Autumn Advent of the cheek challenge. We're again, choosing our own adventure. I'm calling this one ..Fall Flushing Forward!
This is where I encourage you to lean into your blush blindness by using a product you thought you could never use or can't figure out. But, fear not we're still mixing it up mediums and technique wise, but with the seasonal spin.
"But danielledanielle I want inspo and not just options"
I got you, I goottttt youuuuu.
I have kept the suggestions and descriptions below, and added a few updates! BUT, I still encourage everyone to choose what they like, you don't even have to go in order. Want to be bronzy STILL? Be about the bronze 🥉 😎 and apply it in any and every method. Want to stick to your tried and true, check out vibrant...... Or, wanna take something that didn't wow you? Check out the prompt Tried and Through take 2.
I woke up (blonzed)** like this aka Blush and Bronzer (Sephora 22-28; Fall Equinox is 22nd)
BOYFRIEND BLUSH
Tomboy Blush (Sep 29-Oct 5th)
Glazed Cheeks AKA Blushlights (Oct 6-12th)
Vibrant or Tried and Through, Take 2- one and done (October 13-19th)
Fall Foliage Face AKA Sunset Blush for the season (Oct 20-26th)
Blontour**, the cooler the better (Oct 27-Nov 3rd)
**Side quest:
Hottie Toddies! November 4-10th
Methods:
"Diffuse the doozy" aka blend with color
Instead of a blush brush, use a tapered brush with a highlighter or a lighter color blush to blend out the stronger/pigmented one. If using liquid products, see Glazed Cheeks. The idea is to system harsh edges with a lighter blush.
Update - Diffuse the Doozy when color on color
Use two blushes with the lighter blush placed closer to your nose and the deeper towards your ear. Use your complexion tool (sponge or brush) WITH your leftover complexion product to marry/blend the lighter blush and bring it in further without too much color or harshness, IMO
It's a lighter diffused look than boyfriend blush, but it mimics that flushed look
Brush Army
Use multiple brushes in your application. Think powder, fans, tapered, stippling. Go beyond your favorite blush brush or use this as rationale to get new brushes, just sayin'
Bounce, bounce bounce
You guessed...it sponges. Do you go for the beloved #Beautyblender ORIGINAL Beautyblender Makeup Sponge Original #Beautyblender ORIGINAL Beautyblender Makeup Sponge Original #or something else? Bounce to it
All Hands on Deck
Fingers are nature's brushes, and nothing blends better than the warmth of your hand.
Side Quest:
Apply blush to the back of your hand, then press or "stamp" to your face and blend out with your fingers. I haven't tried it yet, but saw a comment on Reddit about this. I usually tap out blush with my two fingers (index and middle), but this seems interesting 🤔
Pressed, but never stressed
This is inspo @furbie when she asked what a powder puff was for. I think I said for powders, but I never considered using it for other powders (blush, highlighter) until then. This takes something baked like #Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Demi'Glow Light-Diffusing Highlighter #Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Demi'Glow Light-Diffusing Highlighter # to next level space shine 🌟🌌🌟
Double Dip with optional swirl
This is @sister13 's technique where she so kindly let me name it with this level of ridiculousness I like to do. This works really well with bold, complimentry colors (color theory y'all), the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter duos are great for this as well as the highlights. The optional "swirl" sister used can involve tapping both colors in a flipping the blush, or a general swipe while blending, which can make bold colors and little more uniform
She used SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Powder Brush #50 for the Killawatt, namely mimosa sunrise
I can see all of those coming together fabulously! @Titian06 💝
@Titian06 This combination makes me think of colour change in the leaves towards the end when they going from red to brown and the air is constantly crisp and cool. And that lippie is gorgeous!
Wow, I'm not sure how to reply to that comment, @JoSometimes ! Thank you! 🤗
@Titian06 You know you’ve done a good job coordinating your makeup when you make people feel things just by showing them what you’re using! 👌👍💯
@Titian06 these products are gorgeous
Thanks, @lmaster ! They just clicked! 🙂
@Titian06 Thank you so much! The HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Talc-Free Powder Blush with Fermented Arnica Pomelo Peach looks beautiful. I have one of her blushes and they apply like a dream and so pigmented. I bet your look came together beautifully 🎃🧡🍑
I was so happy with how this turned out, @Mellmars1185 ! I usually use a coordinating powder blush over a cream blush, but I've never thought to use two powder blushes together. I'm going to experiment more. 😁
Pumpkin Pleasure -
Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed - Matte Color for Cheek & Lip Golden ... topped with HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder Highlighter with Fermented Arnica Fire Opal for the lips I went with Gucci Glow & Care Shine Lipstick 307 Louise Orange
Beautiful blushing look buuut I need to shout out that lippie @Mellmars1185 it brings something special and extra too this look! 🧡
@CynthieLu Thank you!! I picked up the lippie because I didn't own an orange one. It was fun to get a chance to use in this weeks challenge.
Beautiful colors on you! I can’t believe I got to meet you too, lol! @Mellmars1185
@sister13 Thank you! Likewise! Saturday night was epic!! Thank you so much for the treat bag!
@Mellmars1185 gorgeous look! This coloring looks fantastic on you!
@caitbird Thank you. I really appreciate your kind words.
Love this color on you!! @Mellmars1185
@lmaster Thank you so much! It is not an everyday shade for me (unless I blend out with foundation), so I was super excited to not hold back in this challenge.
@Mellmars1185 This peachy-pumpkin glowy look! Those products all go well together. 🍑🎃🧡
@JoSometimes Thank you so much! 🧡
