Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Spring Cheek Challenge
Style Awakening  💇🏽‍♀️

 

Spoiler

Welcome to the Spring Cheek Challenge!!!  I'm looking for that seasonal refresh.  For the first SPRING Cheek challenge, (I know right.. How is this the first...I couldn't get past IYKYK, "Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking."), I want you to look towards personal moments and icons (person, celebrity, objects) for inspiration.    Look to the Gawds, dahhhhhlings.   And zhuzh it up with an outfit, or hair accessory or anything you think that's relevant.  I've declared this the "year of using my pretty things, " and I'm inviting you to join me!


The INSPO behind the INSPO:
This was fueled by caitbird's brilliant inspo board for Belle, pdxxxx's elite breakdown's of icons, the creative choices of Cissy63 during the Winter Wonderland cheek challenges... And again, Zendaya.

BUT, WHEN YOU NEED A PUSH/INSPO, AS ALWAYS.....I GOT YOUUUUUUU

Here are the weekly themes:

Blush Crush (Apr 8-13)
Meet me in Miami (Apr 14-Apr 20)
Sakura Slay (Apr 21-Apr 27)
Candy Coated Coquette, Pastel Version (Apr 28-May 4)
Candy Coated Coquette, Mocha Mousse Version (May 5-May 11)
Sunday Best (May 12-May 19)

I made a bunch of mood boards; feel free to use them or remix/remake them into your own.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Thank you lovey @makeitup305 actually I love all three of the formulas!! I wasn't expecting to, I did not have high hopes, but i am impressed 

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

For my Meet Me in Miami blush, I used Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cream Blush Chilly .  It reminds me of the pink in the sunset pic in the Miami collage.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

very pretty @Titian06 !

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Thanks, @makeitup305 ! 💞  I like this color.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

I love this shade! @Titian06 

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Thanks, @lmaster ! 💕  So do I.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

That's a beautiful choice @Titian06 🌄 Sunset cheeks could be it's own trend. 😍

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@CynthieLu - I think sunset and ombre-type blushes are fun.  Why should eyeshadow have all the fun? 😄

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Definitely @Titian06 They can share the fun 😉

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@Titian06, Chilly is an excellent pick.  It has the right amount of dewiness to it, too.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Thanks, @danielledanielle !  I agree. 🙂

Blush Crush

 

So I was enjoying some new blushes this week.  I bought these last fall, but never played with them before now

 This is MAKEUP BY MARIO Soft Pop Powder Blush  in Mellow Mauve.  I used a Sigma blush brush to apply it.  It is very soft and smooth.  No patchy areas either.  Stayed on all day using #Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Spray 

 

IMG_4179.jpeg

 And this is HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Color Fuse Talc-Free Blush Powder With Fermented Arnica  in French Rosette.  Again using a Sigma blush brush.  The powder is very smooth and light.  It applied without any patchy areas. It blends out nicely.  This also stayed on all day using Charlotte Tilbury setting spray.

 Well as you can see, Miss Clairol and I need to get together! 😉.   Anyway, this is MAC matte powder blush in Mocha. I really like it.  I’m not used to wearing a little darker shade, but this one I like.  It’s very smooth and applied very nicely.  No patchiness using one of my Sigma blush brushes.  Again lasting all day with the same setting spray.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@Cissy63 hits all around! You look great in all the pictures, Clairol or not. Glad you're getting to use some not-so new purchases and enjoy them.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

These are gorgeous looks!!! @Cissy63 

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

All of these colors look wonderful on you, @Cissy63 ! 😍

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@Cissy63 the Haus Labs looks gorgeous on you! Great looks!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Yaaay for playing with newness @Cissy63! Love the variety of shades, and that you also went with a shade you don't normally wear - they're all so pretty on you. Do you have a favorite among these three?

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

👋🏽👋🏽

 

I'm crushing on that second pic @Cissy63 , but all are lovely.

The photo of the blush on my cheeks was adjusted slightly to provide a more accurate depiction of the shade 

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@itsfi I'd completely forgotten about this formula. One of the OG cream blushes. It looks great on you!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@makeitup305, gotta rep the OG now and again! Its true - beauty trends come back around, don’t they?!
