HELLLLLOOOO HELLO ๐๐ฝ 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 โ๐ฅโ โ๐โ 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 โ๐คโ
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 โ๐โโ๐โ๐โ
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, @Mellmars1185 ! It did. I'm going to do this again with different colors.
Your layout of your products is so beautifully matched to the first day of the fall season @Titian06
Ooh a pink sunset? Maybe you're on to something new. ๐ ๐ฉท Did you like the way it turned out?
Thanks, @CynthieLu ! The application was fine, but the two blushes were a little too cool for the Dior Maximizer (and the rest of my makeup). I thought of other shades I should have used later, so I'll try those at another time. ๐
Looks amazing can't wait to try them
Please post when you do @MaxyMaxx , selfies, tags ,flatlays and lists welcomed!
Happy First Day of Fall!! ๐๐
My "I Woke Up Like This" blushed look.
I used Danessa Myrics Blush Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed - Matte Color for Cheek & Lip Bellini which is a little warm for me. I used it in a monochromatic style, It's also on my eyes and lips. ๐
I think this shade is probably my absolute favorite from her blush line with Golden Hour and Jubilee close behind. It's really a versatile blush and works great as a cream shadow, and it really lasts! ๐งก๐ค
Wow you applied this so perfectly @CynthieLu !! Itโs so great on you! I aspire to do this! ๐
@CynthieLu gorgeous monochromatic flushed look, this shade is super flattering on you! You look effortlessly beautiful!
I can't believe I missed this - you are stunning @CynthieLu
Aww that's so kind of you @danielledanielle thank you! ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
Oh I adore this look @CynthieLu
Thank you! ๐๐ฅฐ @lmaster
@CynthieLu Beautiful monochromatic look. This shade looks amazing on you!
Thank you kindly @Mellmars1185 Bellini is so reliable, I love picking her up to play with. ๐
You do look like you woke up like that, @CynthieLu ! ๐ด I've always liked that blush color on you.
Aww Thank you! @Titian06 ๐งก๐It's such a great shade and I imagine it works for so many skin tones. You know, I would love to hear from DM about which blush shade is her most popular. ๐
Gorgeous Blush Look! I love the placement stunning color. You look amazing! ๐คฉ ๐ @CynthieLu
Thank you!! ๐ท @peculiarzmakeup I was going for noticable this time, compared to my very light regular approach to blush. ๐
For my first Fall cheek look, I went with the Chanel beige coral blush and Guerlain Terra India bronzer.
I used the blush on the hollows of my cheeks.
I used the bronzer on my cheekbones with a dusting across the top of my forehead, bridge of my nose, and chin.
I made sure to blend the overlapping blush and bronzer area. The two colors are very complimentary to each other.
I added a touch of highlighter just above the bronzer for dimension (I don't remember which one I used).
They looked great with the other products I used for this week's spiced pumpkin theme on the Re: Makeup Challenge of the Week 2021/2022 thread.

Beautiful products!! @Titian06
