How To Use Instant Cheekbones Makeup

Hi friends!

I've been loving a dainty shimmery cheek lately, which is a bit unlike for me. For years I exclusively wore either matte or satin-textured foam or liquid blushes. Don't get me incorrect, I still loveeee my creams but I'm starting to experiment a bit more again with powder textures. So final month I picked up ane of the CoverGirl Instant Cheekbones Contouring Blushes in the shade Purely Plum, and information technology'due south giving me all that shimmery goodness I've been recently peckish! I use information technology exclusively with the Must Have Multi Powder Castor from IT Cosmetics, and information technology's like a friction match fabricated in heaven.

COVERGIRL INSTANT CHEEKBONES CONTOURING BLUSH

This is absolutely nothing new to CoverGirl's line-up, only the thought here is to "contour" your cheek with the three coordinated shades. To be honest, I really don't know almost that and I don't ever effort to profile with this product. I just mix and combine the shades as I like on whatever item day. While I've pooh-poohed cheek palettes in the by (and I however exercise for the almost part), this fiddling guy is so small that I really don't mind. Besides, I use more one-half of the shades fairly frequently so I don't experience much is going to waste.

I believe at that place are only iii shades available in the Instant Cheekbones line, but as mentioned to a higher place I got Purely Plum; I've been actually into cooler pink shades on my cheeks lately. I like to mix the middle shade with the shade on the left side. The correct shade is very light and acts more like a highlighter.

THE PROS

I actually like the issue this production gives on the pare. You get some shimmer, a little twinkle and lots of colour. I think this is especially nice at this time of year in the winter when the light is very low and diffused. Not sure how much I'll wear this in the summertime; the shimmer may be a footling besides obvious in direct daylight for my liking, but we'll see.

The longevity with this product is pretty solid. Well-nigh blushes usually fade at least half-way through the mean solar day, which is frustrating. But I nevertheless see a decent corporeality of both colour & shimmer on my cheeks at the end of the day later 8 or ix hours of habiliment; very impressive!

THE CONS

Some warnings about this product. First off, when yous dip your brush in the pans there is A LOT of product that comes off, so information technology'due south very powdery. Whatever you do, refrain from putting your brush directly onto your cheek; you'll regret it! Tap it off really well first and and so first applying.

Secondly, if you have a lot of texture on your cheeks or merely don't really like shimmer you lot may want to laissez passer on this production. This is a very shimmery product that could mayhap highlight texture and brand information technology appear more obvious on the peel.

IT COSMETICS MUST Take MULTI Pulverization BRUSH

This brush, which is part of the Heavenly Luxe 6-piece Travel Brush Fix from IT Cosmetics , made it into my 2018 favorites list. (It was part of an awesome swag bag I got at a Fifty'Oreal event last year.) The beard are and so incredibly soft, and they blend product and then darn well. I truly think this castor is the reason I'm dipping back into powder blushes these days.

(A petty bated: if you lot take this blush and you're actually non feeling the shimmer on your cheeks, try using this as a little eyeshadow palette instead. It needs some building up on the optics to really see the pigment, but it's definitely workable and the effect is very pretty.)
