Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Lace

Sleek Blush By 3 Palette in Lace


Hey guys!
 Now that Summer is officially here (please never leave), I have decided to incorporate more peach and orange colours into my makeup looks. I usually stick to bronze colours for summer because I love that whole bronzed goddess look, but this year I wanted something different. I'll admit, I don't own a lot of peach or orange colour makeup because I find the colour, if the wrong shade, can look so wrong against Asian skintone that it almost washes us out. I personally think peach and orange colours suit fairer skintones more in giving that dolly-ish look. So for that reason I tend to stay away from these colours, but this year I thought to venture out and find some perfect shade that would suit me. And what's better that the Sleek Blush By 3 palette that comes with 3 beautiful shades of orange - one is bound to suit me right??? =)


L to R - Chantilly, Guipure and Crochet
My fav colour out of the three has to be Chantilly because it's softer and perfect for day. Where I'm scared to wear colour on my cheeks, this is my best bet because I can build it up on days when I am more daring, or soften it up for days when I want to go more natural. It's a beautiful tangerine colour that really does suit Asian skintones, it adds a touch of flush colour which is perfect for this season. Guipure is a shimmery, rose gold and orange colour mixed. I'm not a fan of glittery blusher - something I stay well away from so I'll be honest and say I have not tried this. I have, however, mixed this with Chantilly and applied just a little on the top parts of my cheekbone to make it work as a highlighter. Crotchet is a deep orange colour with almost bit's of red in it. It reminds me of Mac Morange lipstick. Again this colour is so vibrant that i could easily overdo my makeup so I tend to stay away from this shade. I do think this shade would work amazing on darker skintones, it just appears too bright on my face. 
Do you own any Sleek Blush By 3 palettes?
