Top 5 Blushes for Spring

Hello on this beautiful Spring day!

Blushes are one of my favorite makeup items. I love to play up a bright cheek color and add a beautiful highlighter on the cheekbone. It's especially fun to play with blushes this time of year when it's time to start breaking out the bright colors! Today I'm going to share with you my top 5 favorite blushes for Spring!

1. Clinique Cheek Pop in “Plum Pop”- This is my current obsession. I picked up two of the cheek pop blushes a few weeks ago, and I think I've used Plum Pop 90% of the days since then! It is such a beautiful Spring pink, and it has a very gentle sheen that brightens up your cheeks.

2. Milani Baked Blush in “Luminoso”- This blush has been a staple in my go-to makeup look since I've had it. It's a very easy shade to use on a day that you want a simple face, but you can also intensify the color by layering it on top of a peach color like MAC's Peaches.

3. Smart Bomb Cosmetics Cheek Highlighter in “Hollywood Glow”-This is a brand that I discovered in college (Ashland University- a small school in Ohio), which was created by a makeup artist who wanted to create her own line of cosmetics with more natural ingredients. I only have a few products from the line, but this blush definitely makes the cut of my top favorites! It has a beautiful rosy color and shimmer, so you don't need a highlighter. Here is a link to the Smart Bomb website if you want to check out the products! http://smartbombcosmetics.com

4. MAC Sheertone Blush in “Peaches”-I have to thank Jaclyn Hill for this one! (PS- if you don't watch Jaclyn on YouTube you are missing out!!). I think the name describes it perfect..it is a peach blush. It's perfect for spring and looks beautiful with a bit of a tan!

5. Tarte Airblush in “Shimmering Poppy”- I'm not usually a huge fan of cream blushes, but I swatched this blush at Ulta last summer and immediately threw it in my bag. It's a very light consistency and glides on the skin beautifully. This color is a lovely rosy, peach color with a slight shimmer. 

BONUS- Sephora + Pantone Universe Rush Luster Cheek Sweep-Since I've only had this a few weeks and haven't used it a ton, I don't want to say its a favorite. BUT the colors in this trio are so gorgeous and I love love looove the highlighter as well. I definitely recommend checking this trio out if you want to add some Radiant Orchid into your makeup collection.

Thanks for reading everyone! I hope you all have a great week!

XOXO,
