Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Spring Cheek Challenge
Style Awakening  ๐Ÿ’‡๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธโœจโฐ

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

@lmaster Oops yes, youโ€™re right! I mislabeled it!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@makeitup305 I wasn't sure,  but it looked like it ๐Ÿ˜Š

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@makeitup305  beautiful collection and swatches! ๐Ÿ˜ thanks for sharing!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@caitbird I forgot to add a few too ๐Ÿ˜ I need to stop buying blush lol

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@makeitup305  oof, same ๐Ÿ˜… I just counted mine recently and oh boy, I have even more than I thought ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@caitbird I need to post a picture of my Mocha Mousse options. Those are quite overflowing as well. Thereโ€™s just so many good formulas out there these days!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Thanks for these awesome swatches, @makeitup305 ! โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ. I am really drawn to the PT swatches, which surprises me.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@Titian06 theyโ€™re great shades, more vibrant than my usual choices for blush. Almost as red as you can get without going orange.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Last two looks from Sakura Slay week. I had a lot of fun pulling out shades since I have so many red blushes. A lot of light pink blushes turn really warm on me unless they're hot pink, though. I don't remember which ones I used, but I like how they both turned out.

I haven't done as many looks this week for Candy Coated. I need to look for more pastel shades in my collection. On Monday, I mixed these two liquid blushes from Addiction Tokyo that were LE.

This one is a very light peach blush from 3CE. It's kind of hard pressed and very light so it's hard to build up.

the other two days this week I've been wearing the Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Hot Cheeks Velour Blushlighter Cherry Pop  , which just came in the mail (and is definitely not pastel).

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Love the looks!! @makeitup305 

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

thanks @lmaster !

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@makeitup305  all beautiful looks! ๐Ÿ˜ Love your idea to make a custom shade by mixing two liquid blush shades, I've got to try that sometime!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Thanks @caitbird ! I have a few other liquid blushes that i need to experiment with. I need to do it with creams, too.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

You look lovely in these varied shades, @makeitup305 ! ๐Ÿ˜  I'm impressed that you could get such a pretty color mixing the two liquid blush colors. ๐Ÿ‘

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@Titian06 Thank you! I think it helps that theyโ€™re pastel and relatively sheer.

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

You really wear the Sakura slay colors well ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ˜ @makeitup305 The pink tones look really fresh and light in these looks. Oooouh I like your custom blend of your liquid blush, it's double LE, lol. ๐Ÿ™ƒ

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@CynthieLu I had a lot of fun with Sakura week for sure. Some of my favorite looks so far!
