Cheek Challenge Fall 2025: Feed Me, Slay More

[danielledanielle]

 

What is this? My attempt to ensure we all enter the Fall seeervvvviiiiinnggg.  I loved the past two rounds, but I didn't get enough.  I want more. I'm greedy.  (That's why this one is called "feed me" 😂)

The weeks ahead, I want you to select a blush or cheek/complexion product from the theme to blush your best.

 

Week 1 (Sep 29-Oct 5):  Serve...entering the 🍂, and a week out of NYFW (OOP, yet apropos to be fashionably late with this), let's serve.  We're at the the helm, Paris Fashion Week.  Take a trend from the runways.

Some ideas: 

Cloud Blush

Orange Blush

Blurred berry blush

Dewy Skin

Colorful lashes

Week 2 (Oct 6-12): Signature.  What blush look or color defines you best, meaning...if you were a blush, you'd be ______

Week 3 (Oct 13-oct 19): Snatch.  Let's contour, my cheek-quettes!   Face Mapping time!  See 🏫🎓BIC University 🎓🏫 for tips and maps.

Week 4: (Oct 20-26) Snatchural (🙏🏽 @adityamadiraju for this term).  Give me high blush with a light flush 

Week 5: (Oct 27-Nov 2) Spook-ay .  Halloween Week 🎃👻 Go orange, Go vamp, Go trick, treat, sweet 

Week 6(Nov 3-9): Splay & Slay...Blush Blindness.  Go as bold with it as your willing.  Make it your persona.

Additional weeks (?) TBD.

I snapped a few pictures last week of my ‘everyday’ cheek. This combination has been my go to since … mid August. But some variation on this has been a go to for years now.

[missjeanie]

@lmaster Thanks!

[Titian06]

Wow, these bright colors look so natural on you, @missjeanie ! 🥰

[missjeanie]

@Titian06 Thanks!  I'm trying to switch it up this week and use some different shades after realizing how long I've been using the same ones.

@missjeanie 

I would've thought that was a natural flush, such light hand 👏🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽. I love that you as a blush is electric pink.

[missjeanie]

Lol @danielledanielle Its funny because I always think I'm super heavy on the blush... but maybe just because in comparison to what I normally do for make up it's so much colour. 

Working on this weeks contouring has been much more of a challenge! 

[danielledanielle]

@missjeanie , challenge? Por Quoi?  Let's noodle/workshop this.  This is what I also love about this, usually someone can chime in on a remedy.

For example-

Contouring my nose bridge and eyes can be tricky, this week I've been using my fingers more and working in layers vs just doing it as underpainting...

[missjeanie]

@danielledanielle The challenge for me is actually adding in a contour step.  A few years... okay maybe a decade back when it became more mainstream I tried it out based on what everyone else was doing and just found that it didn't look right.  As time has gone on and I've played around a bit more, I've found that doing a little on my forehead and around my jaw can work, but I'm just lazy/rushed in the morning and almost always skip it.  I had to go digging for this week to find a few suitable products to try out, but it's been fun having the challenge for sure!  So far I've done it twice and I'm hoping for a third round tomorrow!

That said, I'll have to 'draw' up a map of where I do use it and seek out any other opinions on what I should try.  That'll be a weekend task. 

[danielledanielle]

@missjeanie You know, lazy contouring for me, in the aforementioned area is actually lip liner and fingers.  I'll use a neutral brown like Ami Colé Soft Shape Waterproof Lip Liner Midnight and contour lines and then blend it out with fingers.  When I want to use it as a lip liner, hit it with sanitizer and I'm good to go. 

Otherwise sticks! Like the Nars or Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Warm Wishes Effortless Cream Bronzer Stick those giant MUFE crayons

[missjeanie]

@danielledanielle  Ummmm…. How have I never thought to use a lipliner???? Ok. This is interesting. Gonna need to think about how to try this over the weekend!
