![]() My cheeks!! Arguably the most random thing to compliment. I’ve already had about 95 people compliment me on the color of my cheeks. But this Storm shade? It really is the loveliest ~warm rose~ hue that can (and should) be worn on the daily. Like my brush will pick up too much product and BAM! I’m suddenly reliving my dance recital days and my nostrils are overwhelmed with the smell of hairspray. "I’ve always loved the idea of a darker-toned blush, but find that they usually look way too dramatic. So my spring-and-summer go-to makeup is Cloud Paint in Puff on my lids and cheeks, and my almost-everyday red lip combo: Nars Velvet Matte Lipstick Pencil (in Dragon Girl) to line precisely and Tom Ford Lip Color Matte (in Ruby Rush) to fill in and last ALLLLLL DAYYYYYY."- Maitland Quitmeyer (hi, that's me) ![]() My favorite color combination (as you can PROBABLY tell in this photo) is pink and red. The good news is you only need a teeeeensy tad, so the tube lasts ( The Sandlot voice) FOR-E-VER! It adds some hydrated dimension to an otherwise-matte face of foundation, feels SUPER comfortable on, and lasts (on me at least) all day! There is a little bit of a learning curve when squeeeeezing the product out (it can be easy at first to waste some), but once you're used to it, squeezin's a breeze. Two dabs of this and a quick blend, and the natural pink flush is there - and any excess product I just pop on my eyelids for a cute matchy look. I am (as you can see) incredibly pale, and a lot of blushes get full Haunted Victorian Doll really quick. "Cloud Paint might be the easiest-to-apply blush of all time. Easy-peasy!" - Ignacia FulcherĬheck out her more in-depth Cloud Paint review to see why she called it "a lazy girl's dream!" If it doesn't show up on your cheeks the first time, continue to build up the product to get it to the saturation you need. The greatest thing about this blush, though is that it looks flawless on EVERY. It's a light and airy pink you can build up to be a legendary Barbie girl, or to offset a bold red lip like I did. ![]() It doesn't have to be so dramatic, either! If you want a simple, everyday kind of look you can try Puff. Haze is a deep berry perfect for when you wanna bring out all the drama to your already beautiful face. We all know that makeup is actually more easily spread when it's the same heat as your body temperature, so you don't have to worry about it clumping or anything of the sort! Plus, it looks hella dope on dark skin. I know, that little detail is what got my cheap-ass, too. And the best part? You don't need ANOTHER makeup brush. "I happened upon it during one of my online shopping binges and thought 'OMG, this is so pretty, why not give it the ol' college try?!' It's ridiculously lightweight and easily buildable.

I've also used Cloud Paint as eyeshadow (like Rihanna's 2017 Met Gala draping lewk, but way less intense) and it's quite lovely for a effortlessly smooth and tied-together look - and it puts any extra pigment to proper use!" - Sarah Han And if I have too many glasses of wine, I can blame any flush on the blush.
