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

Thanks so much! Definitely helps when my skin is cooperating! @lmaster

@Mellmars1185 latte makeup looks so good on you!
@caitbird Thank you so much. It was a fun first time doing this trendy makeup ☕️🤎
@Mellmars1185 You did a great job! I love this!
@Mellmars1185 I have never heard of hard pan before, oh Woah! I'm glad you could find out what happened and fix it. *Phew!* You thought me something new today!
Oookay I like this look a latte! 🤣 ( could not resist 😄)
@CynthieLu Thank you so much!! I had hard pan years ago...this is the first time it happened to me in a long time. It had to have been because i didnt let the primer dry long enough...I am so glad you learned something new. Have you ever experienced it?
Hummm Noooo I don't think so, but it's a interesting phenomenon. If it happened and I had not read your post I think I may have thought my makeup had expired or something right? Thanks for sharing that!🙏 I think it's helpful info for makeup lovers. 😉
You look absolutely stunning!! @Mellmars1185 are you saying the shade broke up when you dipped into it?
@lmaster Thank you. When i dipped into the shade, it created a hard film on the top of the shadow. I googled how to get rid of hard pan. I just used tape, and it came right off
@Mellmars1185 @CynthieLu I hadn't heard of it either lol very interesting!! Glad theres a way to fix it
You totally nailed it in one try @Mellmars1185! Love the softness you achieved here! ☕️🤎
