Makeup Challenge of the Week 2021/2022

[sister13]

[UPDATED WITH NEW CHALLENGES ~ MAY & JUNE] 💗💗💗  So, I could definitely use some makeup inspiration these days and maybe you could too. Several years ago, we used to have some weekly makeup challenge threads, so I’m bringing one back. It’s a great way to spark some creativity and maybe most importantly, a great way to shop your stash!

I started with a list of some challenges below, but also happy to edit/rearrange/consider other ideas along the way. I hope you will join me!  Feel free to post as many or as few times you’d like each week with photos of your looks. If you don’t like to post your face, feel free to do a flatlay of the products you used to do your look. Also, if you get behind or ahead, feel free to post pics whenever you have time.

Can’t wait to see all your looks! Have fun!

I went to my old makeup cabinet to discover a few other forgotten favorites yesterday. I used to love Bobbi Brown, and I have like 4 or 5 of these shimmer bricks in different colors. I used this one with the deeper shades on cheeks over the BECCA cream blush, and then the lighter top of the shimmer brick for all over glow. Kind of worried I over did it but then it actually looked glowy and fresh throughout the day. These are something I may rotate back into my current makeup storage. Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Highlighter Pink Quartz 

I used the Bobby Brown mini lip pencil and that middle shade from the compact. These are a million years old but don’t have any of that weird waxy old lipstick smell. I loved these compacts.

These little shimmer cubes from Body Shop are a total novelty but they are just so dang cute, I’ll probably never get rid of them. Each one inside the box is in its own tiny little plastic box and lid. Adorable. 

The BECCA cream blush is from when they first came out in the states and were sold at a counter at my Nordstrom. Then, they disappeared from Nordstrom and came to Sephora years later. Still a winner! 

[heavyhedon]

Gorgeous look; you're a master at blending those face colors @sister13 , it's a real glow-from-within here! 

[itsfi]

Love the throwback theme @sister13. That BB lip palette is making me nostalgic! This glow you have going on is stunning! 💗

[NiKay08]

Wonderful look!  Understated but eye catching!  😍

[missjeanie]

@sister13 Not too much glow at all!!  Your skin looks fabulous and the BB Brick clearly agrees with you!
