So summertime is the perfect season for experimenting with makeup and different looks or colors, and this is usually the time when I feel confident trying new products. It goes pretty much the same with clothes, which is why I adore this season so much. I have recently discovered a type of product that I never really knew too much about before but now I am addicted to. Cheek stains are so easy to use and are perfect for the summertime, because they blend so easily into the skin, and they won't rub off so easily like powder blushes do when you sweat a little from the heat. Also, I tend to like the colors offered in cheek stains more than powder blushes, you can see a difference in my opinion. I have just recently purchased a few different ones I wanted to share with you all and see what you think, as well!
1. Victoria's Secret Cheek and Face Highlighter - It says highlighter, but I got this in "Sea Shells" and it is a lovely light pinky shade, so it works so perfectly as a blush. It makes you look flushed in the most gorgeous way - so feminine and pretty, which is my go-to summer look no matter what. It is also on sale for $6.99! For such a good quality item at a very good size, I think it'd be foolish to pass it up! It is also a limited edition product, so it won't be here for long! Just dab onto cheeks and blend, or apply with fingers.
2. NYX Tango with Bronzing Stix - This product, which can also be found for a less expensive price on Cherry Culture's Website and Beauty Joint is a great product to use as a blush or as a highlighter, whichever you prefer, but for me, I love the shade called "Merengue Flush" which is the perfect blush shade. It's the perfect summery balance of pink and peach. I don't like to use shades that are too bronze or peachy during the summer because it gives off a fake tan type of look, so I prefer pinks and pinky-peaches. This color is gorgeous! For such a low price, and also such a high quality item, I couldn't pass it up. I probably will buy the other shades when winter rolls around. Love it!
3. ELF's All Over Color Stick - A great, cheap alternative to the high end cheek stains you might see, this $1 product is perfect if you wanted to try out this type of product without committing. The shade "Pink Lemonade" is perfect for summer because it's such a bright pop of pink, and yet if you blend it correctly, it blends into a lighter, softer pink that compliments any skin tone. For a dollar, you truly can't beat it. They have so many gorgeous colors, as well. I have a peachy color, also, that I love to wear during spring and fall. It is definitely worth a quick visit to their site.
If you ladies have any other cheek products you'd like to share, please do! I'm always curious to see what others have and hear any tips or reviews! And please keep me posted on any future videos or blogs you would like me to do. Thanks for reading!
