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:

December 2-8th, Part 2 -The Princess Edit - I pulled a couple items from my makeup capsule this week and added some other products I thought would complement princess cheeks - Princess Aurora, Sleeping Beauty.

Highlight and bronzer swatch is from one pass of the product. Blush is two swipes.

Saint Jane Beauty Luxury Sun Ritual Pore Smoothing Face Sunscreen SPF 30 1.7 oz / 50 mL does a great job pulling double duty as an SPF and makeup primer. It has a scent (floral based) so if fragrance in skincare is a no go for you, then pass on this one.

SEPHORA COLLECTION Reveal The Real 12HR Soft Radiant Skin Tint - this is a great formula - a cross between Tower 28 SunnyDays and Urban Decay Bond Foundation, which are two of my top 5 foundations this year. 

The shades in the Pat McGrath Labs x Bridgerton Fleurever Nude Cheek Trio (limited edition)(discontinued) are great for fair-to-light complexions looking for a pretty-but-basic color family for the cheeks. Blendable and buildable. The only shade I'm not super keen on is the highlighter; the sparkles can be a little too much for me but with a light hand, it makes for a pretty blush topper. The blush shade gives me Disney princess-y feels. 

Shiseido Eyelash Curler 

Glossier Boy Brow Volumizing Eyebrow Gel-Pomade 

Kulfi Heirloom Satin Lipstick First Sari - glides on very smoothly

[peculiarzmakeup]

These items make for a perfect princess edition look these are right in line with princess auora, love these shades on you love this look you crafted so elegantly ! ❤️ @itsfi

Oh wow, your makeup looks phenomenal @peculiarzmakeup! The Wicked look - I love the softness of the emerald (vibrant but soft, if that makes sense) and with that gorgeous red-pink, it looks so good on you - and great complement to your eyes!  

Ahhhh, the Power Puff Girls - my niece just learned about them and has been watching some of the TV episodes. Your wing looks great!

So I am posting late.  I did Rose Red.  She is a companion to Snow White in Grimm’s fairy tale Snow White and Rose Red.  My fourth grade teacher introduced this to my class and we put on a play about the story.  I was Rose Red then.  No stage production, just us in the classroom with our parents as audience!  

For this I used Melt Cosmetics Sandy Cheeks cream blushlight as a base then #Hourglass Ambient Lighting Edit Unlocked-Elephant- blushes Iridescent Coral and Radiant Rose.  And on my lips #Dior Addict Lip Maximizer Plumping Gloss in 037
