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:

A look for the Pixie Power week (Dec 30-Jan 5)

I believe this theme called from gold or glow so I gave both layering the Hourglass Vanish™ Flash Highlighting Stick Champagne Flash * and the Beauty Bakerkie Milk and Honey highlighter palette. 

*The hourglass highlighter has been in my project pan for years and today's the day I "finished" it up by breaking off the remainder of it accidentally. There's still some in the base but I think I'm done with it.

[Titian06]

Wow, you look gorgeous, @haleyvvvv ! 🥰  (Sorry, I'm just now seeing your post. 🤗 )  Congratulations on panning your highlighter! 🎉

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you so much, @Titian06!! 💖

[lmaster]

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @lmaster!! 💖

[peculiarzmakeup]

Gorgeous Pixie Power Look your blush is glowy and such a beautiful look! I love the idea of layering ❤️ @haleyvvvv 

[haleyvvvv]

Thank you, @peculiarzmakeup!! I've been liking using a cream highlighter, then spraying my setting spray and then going back in with a powder highlight after. Bonus, I can use both cream and powder products to try to better get through my collection, lol. The blush is the MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush Mood 

[peculiarzmakeup]

Mood is a beautiful shade I recently got it but it’s discontinued now sadly it looks great on you! @haleyvvvv 

[Cissy63]

I did this look for the Belle of the Ball challenge 

I used last years NARS holiday palette for cheeks “All That Glitters “, along with MERIT Flush Balm Cream Blush in Stockholm and MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer®  in Light

And I used the new Concept Creation brushes from Rephr.  LC01,LC02, LC03.  These worked so beautifully applying cream and powder products.  

I also used NARS last holiday eye palette “Endless Nights “. And SEPHORA COLLECTION Outrageous Plump Hydrating Lip Gloss  in 09
