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.

Compilation of my Mocha Mousse week. I forgot to write down what I used each day but I used a couple of PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo and MAC Glow play blushes. I need an extra week to go through all of the blushes I have in these tones, it's a favorite.

I need to get a deeper concealer....

I got bangs on Friday. Let me know any styling tips you may have, they're a work in progress lol

[danielledanielle]

Indeed 👏🏽👏🏽 @Cissy63 

[itsfi]

Adding a 3rd to this @Cissy63 ❣️ You look fabulous, radiant!

The Merit Bespoke shades - lip liner, lipstick and cheek color are some of my favorites from the brand. Glad to see the shade a permanent part of the collection. 

[danielledanielle]

If anyone is wondering about Sunday Best - the inspo is a mix between a lazy Sunday, relaxed vibe all the way to your Sunday's finest\Best - kind of derived from church wear all the way to the kind of look you'd see at a horse race (which is happening in a month, but eh...this was where I placed it).  But, I'm always up for other interpretations

you look great @Cissy63 !  I love the eye look, too.

[lmaster]

Yes!!! You look fabulous @Cissy63 

[itsfi]

I love how fresh and joyful this look is on you @Cissy63. The packaging of the Flower Knows products are so pretty; it's great to see how they wear. Do you have any favorites from this set of beauties from Flower Knows?

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  Thank you!  Well I enjoy too many products.  I like their blush, cream and powder.   They have a subtle look that can be built up.  The same goes with their eye shadow.  And their packaging is beautiful.  

[itsfi]

"Well I enjoy too many products." lol, @Cissy63. That's a lovely compliment to the brand. Softer, buildable shades are common along Asian makeup products, part of their approach to makeup looks, but there have been more brands coming to market with vibrant, bolder color payoff as well. Making a note on the Flower Knows cheek and eyeshadow products and will keep an eye out for when the brand releases its next collections.

I love this, you look gorgeous and I love the pastel green jacket, too @Cissy63 

[Cissy63]

@danielledanielle  Oh thank you!  It’s a great jacket,

There is embroidery along the sleeves.  Reminds me of what we did in the’70’s to our denim.  We embroidered everything!
