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.

Tender Apricot pulls pretty dark on me but I'm thinking the shades you used will lighten it up a bit @PDXXXX, I just need to achieve your level of beautiful blending. 👌😉

[danielledanielle]

The contrast of your hair and overtone with the pop of color is striking @PDXXXX 

[PDXXXX]

Thanks @danielledanielle . Even if the blush challenge got me there, that was a fun lip cocktail to discover.

Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Sakura Slay (Apr 21-Apr 27)

For this week's theme, I decided to go for a monochrome pink look with different shades of pink for my cheeks, eyes and lips. The eye look turned out brighter than I intended, but idk, I actually think I like it? For my cheeks, I used NATASHA DENONA Hy-Blush Cloudy Cream Cheek Duo Sweet Cheeks  (and once again, it was brighter IRL than it looks in these pictures!)
