I do light contour, blush, and a highlighter everyday!!!
wow – you’re good! =)
I have broken capillaries on my cheeks (and even foundation can’t make them disappear) so usually I wear nothing. If I want something more sophisticated, I do contour.
there is a form of electrolysis that can make them disappear. It’s called electrocoagulation. You just need to find an electrologist that is certified in it.
My mom did this a few years ago, but they came back really fast, so honestly I’m not really convinced by electrocoagulation.
I always use blush and sometimes highlighters (Bobbi Brown and Benefit are the best !!!). Have a nice day
I always use blush and highlighter. On special occasions, I do light contour.
I do blush and contour and on certain days i do highlighter
Regularly I use blush, if I have time highlighting, if I have even more contouring.
I do contour, blush and highlighter everyday.
usually just blush and highlighter. i’ll contour when i have time and am bothered lol
contouring ocasionally with bronzer, but blusher everyday. Most of the times combined with my dior highlighter.
simple days – nothing (my cheeks are kinda red to start with)
normal makeup-wearing days – either a tiny bit of Shiseido “The Makeup Accentuating Color Stick” S2 (Peach Flush) or Fresh Blush Cream in Love (soft neutral/cool pink), and sometimes a little highlighter – either Smashbox Softlights in Shimmer or Fresh Satin Luster in Moonlight.
[These would be after I’ve toned down my general redness. I use a variety of things for that, depending on how my skin is looking/feeling, but products I like are Make Up For Ever HD Microperfecting Primer in 1 (green), Shiseido “The Makeup Stick Foundation Color Control” (light yellow/green tone), or just my foundation or tinted moisturizer.]
Dressing up/going out – as in the one above, except I frequently use Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge in “Summer Pink” which was LE, unfortunately, so I’m *almost* out of it, but it’s perfect for my coloring. I also sometimes contour, which I do very lightly with MAC’s Strada brush, but often contouring + highlighting is plenty, and I don’t want a separate blush.
I don’t do any highlighting if I’m expecting lots of photographs (for a wedding or whatever) because I can come out looking ghostly.
(The Fresh satin luster highlighter and blush cream are part of the “A Kiss is Just a Kiss palette (also contains a lip gloss) which I just love.)
just blush
i contour and use blush everyday… i can’t get the hang of highlighting 🙁
Powder blush. I really want to get into highlighting and contouring though. Still shopping around.
Blush, plus highlighter or just an MSF like Glissade today.
When i’m rushing (almost always) and going to work I use powder blush. Anything else I do the whole conturing thing. I love the one from Benefit with bronzer and light pink together.
I wear blush, with a light contour. I can’t find a good highlighter (that isn’t too expensive) 🙁
Just blush.
Very little contouring w/ bronzer & then just blush. I have been trying to dive into the world of highlighters, but as many others stated above, I am still trying to find the right one for me.
Benefits Coralista as blush (included brush)
MSF Cheeky Bronze as contour (sounds weird but works well with the highlighter) (168)
MSF Porcelain Pink as highlight (187)
I generally wear blush and I contour a little. I like to use NYX blush in taupe or NARS laguna bronzer to contour my face and since I have a lot of blushes, I like to switch it up.
Just blush and highlight. Contoour on special occassions, or if I have a lot more time in the morning. It’s hard for me to get my contour right.
Just blush. I really do notice the difference when I don’t wear blush, but I have never felt the need to try contouring or highlighting. I only have two colors of blush though! I should try some more and mix it up a bit. I’ve always focused so much on my eyeshadow that I neglect trying things in other places.
i just throw on bronzer after i out on my powder foundation. if i want something different, or if it is fall or winter time, i just use a tiny bit of a rose colored blush.
Just blush…I don’t contour and I only use a highlight when Im going out at night.
blush— but when the shape and sculpt comes out again, i’ll try my hand at contouring.
Blush, maybe highlighter, contouring only for a special occasion.
just blush – usually powder, however I’ve been thinking more and more about creams and stains!
highlighter for special occassions only
I have skin that reflect naturaly light where people put highlighter, so on “normal days”, I don’t wear any highlighter. I just wear MAC peachykeen blush because it looks nice and natural on me.
In summer bronzer and blush, in winter blush and highlight.
Sometimes all three 🙂
I rarely use blush or bronzer or highlighter. When I do wear blush, I use Tarte cheekstains (so easy to use even for a blush-newbie!), and sometimes I’ll use Stila Convertible Color.
Blsuh and highlighter, same as you, Christine. My go-tos are Too Faced Papa Don’t Peach blush and MAC Perfect Topping MSF for the highlight.
Just blush and occasionally bronzer or highlighter. I’ll contour only for performances.
I only wear blush. I like just a little bit of color on my cheeks ^^
blush, on big nights out I contour, but i’m not very good at it
just blush for normal office day,
I do blush and contour everyday. I have to carve myself cheekbones out of my face 😛
blush, plus highlighter/bronzer for more special occasions. I only use cream blushes and stains like tarte’s blissful, benefit’s posie tint and benetint, and nars orgasm cream blush.
Only blush for sure. I try to remember to use highlighter too, but sometimes I forget, lol.
Im a Sucker For warm soul blush Everyday even if im not wearing any eye makeup.
I love cheek tint because it looks so fresh – plus it can be used on lips too. Great when you’re on the go. http://www.beautyheaven.com.au has some great cheek tint and articles.x
98% of the time i use..
Solar Riche Bronzer & Margin Blush :]
Powder blush and sometimes a little highlighter.
Most of the time i use Earth to Earth mineralized blush, Perfect Topping MSF or Guerlain meteorites in Mythic
