My Blush Collection | TheMakeupDiaries

Today's post is going to be all about blushes. Who doesn't love blushes?! They are absolutely amazing. I've always been a huge fan of blush and I am fascinated with the different looks and effects you can create. The variety of colours are endless and there are many different finishes. Today, I will be sharing with you my blush collection. The blushes I own are a mixture of drugstore and high-end and I use them to help me achieve different looks. For example, some blushes in my collection have a shimmery finish. Blushes like this help draw more attention to your cheeks and provides a nice glow. If I remember correctly, I only own one full size matte blush.. the rest are in palettes. I use this blush when my eyes are very bold and when I want to keep things simple and defined. Most of the blushes I own fit into the pink category. I find myself attracted to these colours but, I want to explore the variety of blushes that exist and when purchasing my next blush I want something different... like a light peachy coral or a neutral blush. I have my eye on the Tarte Amazonian Clay blush in Exposed. Down below I will share share my thoughts on each of the blushes as well as show you a swatch so you can get an idea of what the colour really looks like. I hope everyone is enjoying the warm weather♡  xoxo alyssa
