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.

I love that you brought in the red @Cissy63 ! That was on my mind too. I think it looks beautiful on you.

[Cissy63]

@PDXXXX  Thank you very much.  I like how several of us decided to use pink and red 🩷❤️

[Cissy63]

Meet Me In Miami! 
Sounds like lots of fun 😎 

I chose Saie SuperSuede™ Radiant Talc-Free Baked Powder Blush in Amore.  It’s so festive and ready for a party.  I have heard so much about the Miami nightlife 🥳.  This blush fits right in. 

I used the Sigma F15 Duo Fiber Powder/Blush brush.

And for bronzer/highlighter I used my Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze & Glow Contour Duo Fair/Medium .

To apply this I used GLOWISH by HUDABEAUTY  a bronzer/blush brush.

You're all set for a Miami getaway @Cissy63 - that's a beautiful blush and bronzer combo, and I'm jealous of your blending skills. Thanks so much for including the brushes you used too; I am pretty sure I have that Sigma brush; made a note to look for it. 

[Cissy63]

@itsfi  You are so kind, thank you 😊 🛬
