Recently I've been really into the (what I've personally dubbed) "fever blush" style I've been seeing in street fashion magazines like Zipper and Spoon. It's unique and interesting and I think if done with the right colors can look natural.
By keeping her eye and lip makeup neutral and minimal, it really draws attention to the blush. The picture above also highlights another trend I've really liked, which is braiding part of the hair. It adds interest and can still be done by short-haired girls (like me!).

ps. photo from tumblr, not me. If you know the correct source I'll give credit where it's due. :)
I find it interesting that the blush in the picture seems to be more around the eye area instead of the cheeks. I wonder if perhaps the blush isn't working double duty as a blush and an eye shadow in that particular style!
ReplyDeleteI personally think it is! Usually when I see blush in this style it's without particularly heavy eye makeup. :)
ReplyDeleteI saw this on tumblr, and I too really like the 'fever-blush' look too! (It's a very appropriate name! Good use of words! ◠‿◠)
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could pull it off as well as this girl though- people would probably think I am actually ill...
I love how she looks. I want to try it! I hope I don't look sickly.lol
ReplyDeleteI've tried it a few times, and I think the key to avoid looking sickly is to use a color that isn't in your skin-tone already. I have a lot of pink in my skin, so when I wear it I use a coral-y orange color and I think it looks OK. I'll post some pictures when I try it myself! Please share yours too, if you try it! :D
ReplyDeleteI really like braids, but I'm not so much into blush, as I like my city-pale skin XD
