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

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:

This is for Part 2 The Princess Edit

Cinderella has been my Princess since I was 6 y/o.

So while I don’t have blond hair, I tried to capture some of her details, such as the brows, eyes and lips.  She has little to no blush so I added just a little.

I used the new foundation chosen from the sample trio from HAUS LABS. 160 light neutral.

Blush is from MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Blush & Glow Longwear Cream Face Palette 

The brush is SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Bronzer Brush #88 

And light bronzer from #tarte Maneater Silk Stick Dust

The brush is Sigma F83 Curved Kabuki 

Lipstick is #Gucci Rouge a Levres 509 Russo

Catch-up post while I still have a semblance of what was used...

Very Villainous

Vanessa, Ursula's human form in the little mermaid.  This is essentially a task in underpainting.  I contoured the heck out of my face, but I feel like 70% came through, it's the lighting.  The importance of also highlighting and brightening were super important.  There's no blush in this look, but various highlighting elements with contouring.

Ursula.  I had to do this as a halo eye, because it looked so garish and even though i wasn't out and about much this day, I  would see myself and go..Whoa.  I ended up toning it down

This was also another torture exercise in contouring .  I wanted to actually use purple,  but I should've known, purple goes pink on olive tones, so I kept getting pinks and berries despite my best effort.  Blended down the blush looks really nice.

Maleficent.  My hair finally worked for a theme look 😂.  More contouring, using black and bronzer, but it worked well.   The eyeshadow with sticks (for STICKWEEK 😂) didn't hold up as well, but I still evoked thought of the look from the animated movie.

You're hired!! @danielledanielle villain role goes to... you 😍

[danielledanielle]

Mwahahaha *cackles in glam*

@lmaster , 😊 🙏🏽

[Titian06]

All your looks are amazing, @danielledanielle ! 🤩  I particularly, like the Ursula look with the bold blue eyes and pink/purple cheeks--gorgeous! 😍
