Cheek Challenge Winter 2024/25, The Frost, The Glitz and The Wardrobe

[danielledanielle]

 
Once upon a time:

To round out the year cheeky co-quettes we're collaborating again with @sister13 for a really fun and festive time.  We're all duchesses of draping, universal under painters and beguiling blush babes at this point.  So, now I want you to tell me stories.  I love a good inspo story.

Let's get "Pop"ular (November 18-24)

 
Create a look with anything from a collab with the movie/musical Wicked, use anything from any Wicked Collaboration (One/Size, R.E.M., Opi, etc) " or anything that inspires you, particularly accenting pink, gold or green (not a green blush, but anything with a muted tone in the red family).

Fairytale makeup - this was a tiktok trend earlier this year.  I have no idea where it came from, but I love the idea of fairy tale makeup and just winding down the year.  I love it so much, it's a three part-er!

 

November 25-Dec 1
Part 1 -  Cast of Characters.  This is any fairytale makeup magic your heart desires from your favorite sidekick/supporting character.  Doesn' t need be a cosplay level look, whether it's using a cool color shifting liner or working a full fairy godmother look, let your makeup be inspired by the ones who always had the hero/heroine's back.

December 2-8th
Part 2 -The Princess Edit - give me your best Disney Princess/Prince blush look.  Are we going snow white rouge, or snatched Cinderella??

 
Part 3 - Very Villainous. Not at all demure. (December 9-Dec 15)
Let's be honest, Ursula, Maleficent, the evil queen....all slayed the makeup game, and then subsequently slained.  Well, what are heroics without the calamity of a counterpart? Bring out your inner baddie this week.

Wickedly Wintry: Dec 16-22
If it's in the title (the lion, the witch and the wardrobe), why not pay homage to it?  Using elements of ice and frost, give me your best Ice Queen look aka white witch from Narnia.  Silvery, sparkly highlights welcome.  If that's too frosty forward, any element of silver or white within your look can play to this theme.

Belle of the Ball (Dec 23-29) give me Glitz! Glam! All the glitter!  Feel free to use any holiday release, like the Dior or Nars collections.

Pixie Power!  (Dec 30-Jan 5) I want to see spritely cheeks, there needs to be a gold or glow involved.  Tinkerbell time!

Frosty Foliage: Jan 6-12
Give me that sunset blush look, but make it frosty...plum, berries, holographic shimmer.  (Not quite foliage, but I was going for the callback and alliteration.)

Also, any wardrobe pieces are welcomed, please feel to cross post, post twice + thrice to:

Your custom blended blush looks marvelous on you @Cissy63! Very pretty. Do you apply with a brush or fingers? Or beauty sponge?

[danielledanielle]

@danielledanielle @sister13  can I just say, first of all, thank you both for running this challenge and coming up with so much awesome inspiration! I am late to the party as usual (somehow I missed this thread for the first week or two, oops), but I am loving these themes! I had so much fun planning this week's looks to combine the themes from this challenge and Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge  and it was a blast!

For my Disney princess-inspired look, I chose Belle as my inspiration. I also tried to fit this look into this week's capsule makeup challenge theme, demure vs. bold (this is the "demure" version...for once! 😅 but I have a "bold" look planned too!), and incorporated some holiday sale season newness into my capsule as well. I got way too into brainstorming this look and made a collage of some different images of Belle as well as other makeup looks I found on Pinterest that I used for inspiration:

and here is my end result:

I focused on a natural pink flush/blush for cheeks, with a soft/neutral pink eye look and glossy pink lips. I'll post a full breakdown of products used to the capsule makeup thread and What are you wearing today Pt2  later!

We can take out that first image in the collage and replace it with your photo @caitbird! You nailed your Belle inspired look! Beautiful!

[peculiarzmakeup]

This is fantastic! I love the belle board and your blush look is gorgeous I see the resemblance. This is so cool, amazing pairing and stellar look 🙂 @caitbird 

[danielledanielle]

You picked Belle and gave us a moooooood /inspo board !!!  @caitbird , this gives me such joy!  🙌🏽👏🏽

I think this was very demure, you ticked off all the boxes , your lashes and your cheeks really stand out and you do look like Belle here .

[CynthieLu]

I love your look! @caitbird 😍💕 this is beautifully executed! How did you feel about this turnout?

[caitbird]

@CynthieLu  thank you so much! I was actually quite happy with how this look turned out! It came out pretty much like I envisioned, which is always nice 😉

[CynthieLu]

This was definitely a look to be proud of @caitbird 🩷🩷

[Titian06]

You look gorgeous, @caitbird !  I love these colors on you! 💞

[caitbird]

@Titian06  thank you so much! 😊

[Titian06]

For my...uhg...princess look, I went with Mulan.  I used:

- Tarte Be Matte-nificent palette

- Meow Cosmetics Red Dwarf blush

- PAT McGRATH LABS SatinAllure™ Lipstick Infatuation  (Is it just me, or does that song start playing in your head every time you hear the name of this lipstick?)

I modified the eye so the purple was mostly on the outer third and blended in towards the center.  A redder lipstick would have been more in keeping with the pic, but I liked the color I used better.  After all, I was wearing this in real life and to work! 😄

 

 

[sister13]

Ooh, such a great choice, I love Mulan! @Titian06 

[Titian06]

[peculiarzmakeup]

Beautiful choices for Mulan, I bet this turned out beautifully also love the lip color such a great addition ❤️ @Titian06
