What you see before you may be my all time favourite trio of cheek products. Since obtaining these little beauties, I've been using them as a trio on my cheeks (or a quad, since the Bourjois product contains both bronzer and highlighter but heyho!) and the result is rather lovely. I use the Illamasqua Cream Pigment in Hollow to slightly contour - a process I think I've officially mastered thanks to the Real Techniques Contour Brush, who'd have thought?! - the Bourjois bronzer lightly just to warm up my complexion, since my very slight hint of tan has all but abandoned me and I'm back to my pale ways, and the highlight side lightly on my cheekbones and up onto my brow bone. The highlight is a lovely, lovely subtle highlight. I've read some reviews where people have said they're quite disappointed with its subtlety, but I think it's a selling point personally, if I wanna go all out and glimmer the day away I'll just bust out Mary-Lou! The final point of my trio application is NYX Blush in Peach. I picked this up in Next a few weeks back and it's been on my cheeks almost exclusively since. The colour is the most beautiful pale pink shade, and the finish is quite sheer so it's difficult to over-do it, but easy enough to layer for a more intense colour. I find this shade to be absolutely perfect for my cool-toned complexion (as a note, the Rimmel Light Porcelain shade of foundation is a perfect match for me, if you're around that sort of skin tone, I'd urge you to check out Peach. It's massively complimentary) and can see myself wearing it into the depths of winter.
What are some of your favourite cheek products, any recommendations?
