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.

I'm wearing for blush:

PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo  in shade Do We Know Her

Spoiler

My skin brings out the rose in this shade alot imo

 

I began by tapping the creme shade high on my cheek bones and tapping it out on the edges to blend. Then just a light dusting of the powdered shade over top. For a lifted effect I don't apply it low, always high and angled up. 🙃

To get more impact for the cherry blossom vibe I used a pink leaning lip PAT McGRATH LABS Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil Coralust  and the pick matte and shimmers from NATASHA DENONA I Need a Nude Eyeshadow Palette  🎨💖

@CynthieLu  🍒🍒I like your Cherry Blossom look 🌸

[Titian06]

This is a very pretty look, @CynthieLu ! 🥰

[CynthieLu]

Thank you kindly @Titian06 🫶

For today's Sakura Slay:

- Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick in Mimi.  I applied the blush in the hollows of my cheeks, blending it up onto my cheekbones.

- DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer Longwear Liquid Highlighter 017 Nude . I applied the highlighter just above my cheekbones, blending it up onto my temples and down onto my cheekbones mixing it lightly with the blush.

[Cissy63]

@Titian06  This is a lovely combination 🍒🌸

[CynthieLu]

This must have been lovely. I do love that highlighter! @Titian06 👌💖 I think I might go dig it out to wear today. Than you for the inspo. 👌

[Titian06]

Thanks, @CynthieLu ! 💖💖💖  I love this highlighter!

[CynthieLu]

Agreed! I think nude is such a versatile shade, I love the glow it gives 😄⭐ @Titian06 

[danielledanielle]

It's inspired by each other day apparently!  I, too, enjoyed the pink on pink and added some pink blush to my eye look today.
