Cheeky

I'm back with another so-called tutorial, this time using two blushes, one lighter and one darker.


I've already applied base, loose powder, bronzer, eyeliner, everything except lip and cheek colour.
I started with an iridescent pink for the cheeks.

After having applied it across the cheeks (see photo above), I proceed to an iridescent purple. I applied it sparingly with an angled brush right under the pink and blended.

You don't need to have mad skills, as long as the colours you use are sheer enough to be foolproof.


So there you have it. You can see the contouring more on the right side, where the purple creates depth while the pink provides a bit of glow.
You can still play up the lip colour, but it might be better to leave the eyes natural.

I'll definitely try the oil cleanser your way tonight - soonish. Plus I'll just go straight to toner rather than use my cleanser. I just wish to find a cleanser that does all 3 in one go!! I'm just so impatient.

I like the purple and pink combination - since I'm of Pakistani descent, I'm brownish, more olive really. Do you think this would suit our skin tone? You are most definitely fairer than I am. I used to use a cream that worked to lighten my skin tone, and it worked! But I ran out of it and never found it in the US since. Going back to Dubai next week, so I guess I'll stock up on it. Only catch, they don't list the ingredients. Shady.

I love your cheeks! I think I told you before but, who cares! I'll say it again!
Your cheeks always look adorable and pretty<3
I think I'm one of those girls that can't pull off cheek color naturally as you do.

Anyhow, take care and talk to you soon! Be sure to bundle up when you go out too:)
