Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Spring Cheek Challenge
Style Awakening  💇🏽‍♀️

 

Spoiler
1000002358.gif



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 actually have a guide of sorts I found from a insta reel of Asian influenced blush styles. I screen shot'ed each one 😅 so I could practice them. I love the Asian blush styles. 👌 @blackkitty2014 Thank you!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Here is yesterday's blush crush (bottom to top).  I went for an hombre-type look.  The colors looked better on than in the pic. 🤪

 

- Bare Minerals Pink Ribbon:  Used in the hollows of my cheeks under my cheekbones.

 

- DIOR Rosy Glow Blush 012 Rosewood   Used on my cheekbones, blended into the Bare Minerals.

 

- Benefit Cosmetics Dandelion Baby-Pink Brightening Blush  (original version)  Used above my cheekbones, blended into the Dior.

 

- Not shown:  Hourglass Mini Ambient Strobe Lighting Powder Incandescent Light   Lightly applied over Dandelion and across my temples...gotta glow!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

Thanks, @lmaster ! 💝  I enjoy pairing blushes, probably because I have so many. 😆

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

@Titian06 stupid cameras eating our makeup! I love the shades you chose - almost a Sunset Blush trio and such a nice transition from shade to shade.

Blush Crush (Apr 8-13)

For today's blush look, I was inspired by one of my favorite makeup trends, strawberry girl makeup! I just love that sweet pink flush that sort of drapes across the nose bridge a little bit.

Here is my interpretation for today's look:

For blush, I used #Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush - Brightening Serum Blush Watermelon Flush  topped with Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez Soft Pinch Liquid Blush Happy   (mini size from one of last year's Sephora Favorites sets). I'll post a complete list of products to Capsule Makeup Collection Challenge 2025  and What are you wearing in 2025?? 

 

This was fun! Thanks again @danielledanielle  for hosting this challenge!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

I love seeing your inspo with this (and want to know what products she used). Your skin is just lovely, I'm in awe!

Re: Spring Cheek Challenge 2025: Style Awakening

It's so pretty!!! You did a fantastic job @caitbird
