Be-cheek my heart! Given my addiction to pink blushes and bronzers, when I came across Sue Devitt’s new Hydrating Marine Minerals Destination Eye & Cheek Palette in Solomon Islands, it was love at first site. A perfect gradation of pink to gold, the hues can be blended together for a variety of looks which you can customize to create your perfect shade. I greatly appreciate that since I love to mix and match or for back of a better term – play.
My personal preference is to use the light pink as a highlighter under my eyebrow while applying the more bronze shade across my face and the sheerer pink on my cheekbone for a perfect sun kissed look. Apply with a brush and the colors blend very naturally and evenly onto skin. The colors are sheerer then they appear in the picture, which really allows you more
