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'm going to have to remember to pull it out and put it with my current in use little stash @Titian06 I'll let you know how it goes
Vibrant or Tried and Through, Take 2- one and done (October 13-19th)
For this challenge I tried using one of my blushes in a new way, I tried adding Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder Flushed - Matte Color for Cheek & Lip IT Girl a vibrant beautiful pink ( I guess it fits for the vibrant side of this challenge too 🩷) on more than my cheeks. I used it on my upper crease, and lightly on my lips.
I used my blush strongest on my cheeks and eyes and just the tinyest but on my lips with Clarins Lip Perfector over top. In person I felt line I had overdone it but looking at my pictures I think it I could have gone for a bolder touch on my lips, maybe it would have tied everything together better?
I was feeling very pink and bright and decided to put the blush down before I got carried away. 🫣💕
It is such a lovely shade! @CynthieLu
Subtle is beautiful @CynthieLu !
Very pretty, @CynthieLu ! 💖💖💖
I love the color in the crease @CynthieLu .
It's so easy to go overboard with blush, so it's good to go back and review
Humm now that I'm thinking on it. Blush, highlighter, sparkly eyeshadow... There are so many things I can easily go over board on if I don't reign myself in a little. 😅
Ouhhhhh @danielledanielle I love this shade on you!!!
Your glaze is beaming bright @danielledanielle 😎
You were bang on with your recommendation, Selena's liquid highlighter and blush are a dynamic combo together. This blush look packs a punch.
Thanks everyone 🙂
Wow, this color is gorgeous on you, @danielledanielle ! 🤩
@danielledanielle ooh, I'm liking that placement and how the shades play with your lip color and shirt a lot!
Gorgeous gorgeous! I was just eyeing that blush color and now I really want it! @danielledanielle
Blush lights ✨🤎
This is Danessa Myrics cream blush in Spiced Latte with D'ior's liquid highlighter in Nude over top.
I had to use these two recent buys because well, curiosity! and I just felt like they would be so gorgeous together.
💜🤎💜
@CynthieLu I adore this look!!
@CynthieLu that is lovely! Loving the eye look as well and like @Titian06 mentioned your hair is always so on point!
Thank you lovely! I had so much fun putting this together. And playing with my new highlighter and blush. @PDXXXX Ahh hair, so temperamental sometimes right? Lol, mine only behaves sometimes and definitely in a picture where it's not required to move or do anything irl. 😜
Great combo, @CynthieLu ! Love your hair too!
