Summer is here and it's time to break out all things warm, glowy, and bronzy. Here are some warm brown blushes that bring warmth to any makeup look. They can double as both bronzers and blushes, depending on your complexion. 

Every time a new eyeshadow palette or highlighter palette is announced, the Internet goes crazy, products sell out in seconds, and beauty junkies run wild. It's safe to say that most people love a good palette, but sometimes you just need the shades that are tried and true that you know will work for you, the shades you would throw in your bag if you had to travel someplace ASAP!

Don't you hate when a new palette drops but only a couple of shades suit your complexion?!

The MUFE team was kind enough to send over their latest product: customizable complexion palettes! Once these are released, you will be able to create a custom 3 powder palette consisting of sculpting, highlighting, and blush powders. Check out the photos and swatches below!

I don't know about you, but I can never get enough of a warm eye shadow palette. Matte oranges, metallic bronzes, and deep browns are right up my alley. The OG Morphe 35O palette (does anyone remember when they would sell out every week?) and Nubian Juvia's Place palettes have solidified themselves as go-tos for us warm toned lovers, but over the past month, they have run into some MAJOR competition. 

I've always been a visual learner. Whenever I see a makeup look show up on my Instagram feed or an outfit walk down the runway, I envision what products I could use to achieve the look or what color accessories pair well an aesthetic. That's why I've decided to introduce Cocoa Color Stories to SKINDEEP. 

I've had Rihanna's new song, "Wild Thoughts," on repeat since it dropped last week and I fell in love with the makeup looks! I was so inspired that I decided to do a talk through makeup tutorial. Check out swatches, photos, and the YT video tutorial below!

Things are really startin' to heat up and it's time to break out the corals, the berries, and of course the nudes! (DUH!) Check out some of our top lipstick picks for spring and summer. You can find more swatches of these lippies in the Cocoa Swatches app!

A few of you (on different platforms might I add), have called us out for not posting or supporting enough black owned beauty brands. At first listen, I found that accusation preposterous. We post and promote black owned brands ALL THE TIME! Often unsolicited, for free or at a discount.  

Coral blushes look gorgeous on so many complexions and are perfect for spring/summer! Check out some of our faves below. 

LET YO SOUL ✨Whenever I need a highlighter that refuses to quit, I find myself consistently reaching for 2 products!

Many products come and go but few makeup items are as tried and true as MAC blushes, especially for darker complexions. They come in over 40 shades and are $23 each! Check out swatches of our top picks below.

Truer words have never been said. Will we ever get enough nude lippie choices? Doubtful. 

I use to believe people with darker skin couldn't "bronze" because I never saw products that could actually act the way I imagined a bronzer should. In reality, there just aren't that many products marketed as bronzers that actually function on darker complexions.

No matter what your beauty routine may be, the magic of powder can be realized in various ways. For the oily and combo skinned beauty lovers, powder is helpful in the prep and priming stages, before applying foundation (i.e. the Jackie Aina method.)
