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.

Thank youuuu 🙏🩷 It ended up being kind of a light monochrome, but all so very pink @PDXXXX. I would definitely revisit this shade combination again. 💝

[lmaster]

[CynthieLu]

Thank you lovely! 💖 @lmaster 

[Cissy63]

@CynthieLu  🍒🍒I like your Cherry Blossom look 🌸

[CynthieLu]

Thank youuu @Cissy63  🩷🙏 Wearing pinks feels so good right now, maybe it's the season?  I could definitely play around with these colors more and have some fun. 😄

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.

@Titian06  beautiful, luxe cheek combo! I just picked up DIOR Forever Glow Maximizer Longwear Liquid Highlighter 012 Pearly  and I already want more shades now!

[Titian06]

IKR, @caitbird ! 🥰

@Titian06 I've been wanting Mimi! Do you love it? I wish Sephora carried.

[Titian06]

Yes, I do, @makeitup305 !  I was hoping Sephora would carry it too.  I got on WA's email list so I'd know when they had a sale and bought it then.

Here's a swatch in case you're interested in seeing it on my pasty white person.

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

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.
