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
HOMG, that palette @Titian06 . I ronanticized after that one for a minute. As always, love your luxe choices
Thanks, @danielledanielle ! It's a great palette despite the appearance of lack of use. 😄 I love the palettes KVD used to create!
Your process and product selection is so lovely, this will be beautiful! 😍💖 @Titian06
Thanks, @peculiarzmakeup ! This was my first blonzer try...I don't know why!?! I loved this combo!
This sounds fabulous @Titian06 and such a pretty picture to! 😍😍
Thanks, @CynthieLu ! I was very happy with the results. 🙂
Blonzer! Got it @danielledanielle. I've been meaning to try my hand at this (in an intentional, thoughtful way, not in the in-a-rush-just-slapping-it-all-on-and-hoping-it'll-do that is more my MO 🙄 I've added it to my list of "to do's" for the weekend.
The hardest part will be deciding on which products to use. 🤔 I'll multi-task and come up with something as I pack. 😉
Figure it out made me chuckle, GO FOR THE TERRACOTTA, @itsfi
Terracotta, it is then @danielledanielle ! I’ll pair the Canmake 16 with the MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer®
We’ll see how this holds up over the weekend. I also want to test out a pair of powder blush and bronzer duos. I’d like to have a cream combo and a powder one for next week.
Yasssss, I like the sound of all of this @itsfi
Beautiful planning and I like the figure it out part I feel like it’s so helpful in giving room to expand and trial and error. I just realized I might be on the wrong theme for the week 😅 I bet your blonzer will look beautiful 🌸 @itsfi
@peculiarzmakeup, 💯!! Trial and error, coupled with tips and tricks I’ve learned from the BIC have helped me so much as I’m put my hand to trying new makeup looks or techniques. And practice too, of course. Practice helps with progress.
I’m occasionally off on themes too, sometimes intentionally and other times I either forget or mix up weeks. It’s great to work on it regardless and fun too - to see how (or if) I make progress and if I’m stuck and can’t figure it out on my own, or with the help of YT, blogs, or seeing the beauties on her post, I pop a question on the thread to see if someone can help. 👍🏼
Now to come up with a couple of pairings to try. 🤔 I’m thinking maybe a Rare Beauty blush will be included. Will keep an eye out for your blonzer look(s).
It’s amazing how much you learn from BIC it’s such a gift 🎁 😁☺️ @itsfi
@peculiarzmakeup, you can do whatever whenever, sometimes I've gone a week ahead.
Also, I think the way I posted it may have been a little misleading, up move the older version to the header
Rushed sounds like the work week makeup approach, or at least how I feel sometimes getting ready in the morning.😅 But something about this week, it felt extra lacking in time in the mornings. I hope your weekend slows your days down a bit and gives you some time to enjoy a more relaxed approached to this week's theme @itsfi
That extra 5 minutes of sleeps @CynthieLu!! Having the makeup capsules all made up in advance definitely helps and I’ll be sure to have my blonzer products ready. 😊
Lol It's true thou, even a few minutes extra feel so important! 😴 Another makeup capsule bonus @itsfi 😉
Fiercely Foilage
I used
MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush Stockholm
MERIT Day Glow Dewy Highlighting Balm
DM Lightwork Pallete V on cheeks in shade love
I did have the thought of using Twin Flames but it’s green and I don’t know how I would make it work but I think the new one that’s pink would look awesome 😂🫶
Such an awesome theme 🙂
Love love love!!!! ❤️ @peculiarzmakeup
Thank you so much ❤️ @lmaster
