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.

Awww, thank you @Cissy63, I've been finding the Haus cheek items to be very versatile - love that! 👍

[lmaster]

Those are right on point! @Titian06 

[Titian06]

This combo looked so pretty together, @lmaster ! 🥰

[danielledanielle]

Those guerlain bronzers are so pretty @Titian06

Last look with Candy pastels using PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo Just Enough

And first look of Mocha Mousse using MAC True Harmony. It can double as a warm bronzer. It didn’t really go with my eye look all by itself so I ended up topping it with Yves Saint Laurent Make Me Blush 24H Buildable Powder Blush 44 Nude Lavalliere to cool it down a little and adding a little more pink to my lips after I took this I picture.

So beautifully done @makeitup305

thanks @lmaster !

[danielledanielle]

I think it looks great @makeitup305 , and the eye look with the cheeks is like a happy mesh of this week and last week's themes

[makeitup305]

thanks @danielledanielle !

[Titian06]

Very pretty, @makeitup305 ! 😍

Here's today's Mocha Mousse Coquette:

- MAKEUP BY MARIO Softsculpt® Multi-Use Bronzing & Shaping Serum with Hyaluronic Acid Fair  (surprised? 🤣)

- NARS lip pencil in Bansar. I love this color!  This is like my third pencil, but it's been discontinued. 😞

 

[lmaster]

That Bronzer looks fabulous!! @Titian06 sorry your lip pencil is discontinued...of course it is!! Seems like something one of us loves is out the door 😒

[Titian06]

It never fails, @lmaster ! 🙄

[makeitup305]

@Titian06 I love both of those products. I had a few different shades of the NARS pencil and they were all so good. 

[Titian06]

I had more than a few of the NARS pencils, @makeitup305 ! 🤣

[makeitup305]

@Titian06 me too. I haven't tried any of their new lippies, though.
