Spring Cheeks with Topshop

I'll be honest, blushers aren't up there in my most used make-up products as I find it really difficult to find a shade that complements my complexion. I much prefer a noticeable bronzer with a subtle hint of blush when it comes to my make-up routine. However, since coming across some of some my Topshop make-up stowed away in my drawer, my love for their quality has re-blossomed and have decided to share them with you.

CHEEK DUO IN DESERT SUN

This is the PERFECT product for when I'm having a lazy day. It's pretty much a blush, bronzer and highlight all in one - Hallelujah! I literally swish my brush around the pan and apply to the apples of my cheeks and up to my cheek-bone. I'm not a huge fan of the blush shade as I feel it's a little bit too pink for me however, mixed with the golden bronzer and the subtle shimmer, it makes for a gorrrrrgeous natural looking glow perfect for Spring! I'm definitely a fan of the whole Topshop make-up packaging and love the querky pencil sketch style however the white doesn't stay white for very long! I had to give all the products a good clean before I took these photos and they still don't look too great. I also thought that product could have included a compact mirror in the lid too but you can't have everything!

CREAM BLUSHES IN MORNING DEW & HEAD OVER HEELS

Topshop was where I first became acquainted with cream blushes as I'd always been a powder-blush girl. I gave them both a quick swatch on my hand and was instantly impressed with how well the both blushes blended into my skin. They do apply as a cream but they dry to a powder which I really enjoy about the product. I like to use a cream-based highlighter so a creamy blush might be a little over-kill on the 'dewey' look front. Morning Dew, especially, is one of those blushes that look very scary in the packaging but gives a gorgeous finish when applied to your face. I did at first apply them using the RT Stippling Brush but soon learnt that blending them with my fingers made for a much more subtle application. Out of the two, Head Over Heels is definitely my fave as I think a coral shade suits my skin tone a lot more than a pink - especially if I've got a bit of the ole' fake tan on too. They have pretty decent lasting power - I wouldn't say they last all day but hey ho - they're only £6 each!
