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

This is a great combination of colors for a sunset blush, @CynthieLu ! 🌅 I love your pic in the sunlight, very atmospheric!
Thank you kindly @Titian06 🥰 It was actual sunrise light, and such a beautiful one this morning, so colorful!
With the days getting shorter it's dark for so much longer right now. I'm looking forward to the clocks going back in November for the little bit of extra sunlight.
Today, I tried a sunset-type blush using:
- Chanel Rosey Beige
- Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush Collection Mood Exposure
- Hourglass Opal Highlighter
I used the Chanel in the hollows of my cheeks, the Mood Exposure on my cheekbones, and the Opal highlighter above my cheekbones and on my temples, making sure to blend well in the overlapping areas.
It didn't look too sunset-y, but it did look nice!
Stunning pallete 💕 @Titian06
Thanks, @peculiarzmakeup ! 💖💖💖
@Titian06, I imagine it was a pretty nude cascade, that's a fall related color. I love the look of the hourglass palettes anyhow
"Nude cascade," I like that description, @danielledanielle ! 💖💖💖
Those are gorgeous products @Titian06
Now this sounds like it made a lovely gradient @Titian06 I think that's what I takeaway from the idea's for each of the challenges, we put our own unique spin on the theme. The results we all get are so different and it's fascinating to see. 💝
Fall Foliage Face AKA Sunset Blush for the season:
Oh Wow, this one really took some doing! After studying up a bit and deciding to try to achieve more of a Sunset Blush in general I...
First applied Floss The Mood Creme Blush in Lucky to the apples of my cheeks...
Then wanting to create my sunset with a warmer tone applied Absolute New York Blush Balm in Papaya under that and then blended with a brush to bring some of the Papaya up into the Lucky...
For my primary highlighter i used DIOR Forever Glow Star Filter Multi-Use Complexion Enhancing Booster 2N from the top of my outer cheekbones towards my temples...
Something was off so I decided to layer with powder products first bringing more warmth to the bottom of my face with Smashbox Cali Contour Face Palette Light/Medium 's matte blush. I then felt like the highlighter needed to be a bit brighter so topped it with Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter Mean Money/Hu$tla Baby using Hu$la Baby.
Not sure if I pulled it off but it was a fun challenge to make me think about using more than one primary blush color.
Gorgeous look! Love this blushie on you! You look so beautiful! @PDXXXX
This is perfection on you @PDXXXX ! 😍
Thank you @Sunnysmom ! I am learning so much from @danielledanielle 's cheek challenges here. The themes and tips have been awesome!
Agreed, it's a natural/subtle spin on sunset blush, but it works @PDXXXX
This look is so beautiful!! @PDXXXX
I think this is a challenge success @PDXXXX 🩷 and playing outside the box is so rewarding too. Your right, you can layer blush in so many different ways, you've got a new tool in your toolbox now. The effect of your layering is really pretty and the highlight is gorgeous in this placement.
@CynthieLu thank you, thank you 🙂
You look gorgeous, @PDXXXX ! 😍
