So as you've "guessed", I do like wearing a blush when I use a foundation or powder (which is most of the time..don't judge me! :)). My favourite blushes at the moment are; "Springsheen" by MAC and "Bronze" by Fashion Fair. I normally use both at the same time, although they do look good on their own. To create the look to my left, I applied the"Bronze" across my cheekbones and then the "Springsheen" just above to highlight and add some glow to the cheeks. I find that it gives it some sort of "natural" glow.

Unfortuntaely my camera doesn't really capture how nice these colours look (picture to the left). The "Bronze" isn't as dark as it appears to be and it has a pinky orange undertone and the"Springsheen" has a great sheer tone shimmer to it.
I think both blushes work very well together and compliment each other. A blush should definitely blend with your skin rather than having two pink blotches on your cheeks.
What are your favourite blushes at the moment? Do you ever use two at a time? Would be great
to hear your comments!
I love your make up and the shimmer!! I have just started using my Bobby Brown shimmer brick and absolutely love it!!! Mercy
ReplyDelete@ Mercy - thanks for the comment! Yes with the sun making it's appearance more regularly now means it's time to get the shimmer out! :)
ReplyDeleteI used to use Chanel 'Sahara' bronzer, never tried mixing blushes and haven't worn pinks probably since I started wearing makeup1 lol But I also like and am currently using a Max Factor bronzer. It has a nice subtle bronze colour, rather than the shade of 2 bricks slabbed across your cheeks, and a really nice shimmer.
ReplyDelete@ Amal - nice! Yes depending on your complexion, it's quite nice to use a bronzer in place of a blush. It also depends on the sort of look you're after! Will have to check out the Chanel "Sahara" and do a review ;)
