Why this worksSpring makeup is all about light textures and bright colours. As the weather warms, you want your makeup to feel fresh and breathable, enhancing your natural beauty without heavy layers. By incorporating soft hues and light-reflecting products, you can achieve that effortless glow that’s perfect for sunny days.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a good moisturiser to hydrate your skin. Follow up with a lightweight primer to create a smooth base for your makeup.
  2. Use a Tinted Moisturiser Opt for a tinted moisturiser instead of a heavy foundation. This will give you a light coverage while letting your skin breathe and glow.
  3. Brighten Up Your Cheeks Choose a cream blush in a peachy or rosy shade for a natural flush. Apply it to the apples of your cheeks and blend for a seamless finish.
  4. Highlight Strategically Use a liquid highlighter on the high points of your face, like the cheekbones and brow bones. This will catch the light and give you that fresh, dewy look.
  5. Play with Pastels Incorporate pastel eyeshadows or liners to add a pop of colour. Soft pinks, lilacs, or mint greens are perfect for spring.
  6. Finish with a Glossy Lip Choose a tinted lip balm or gloss in a light, fruity shade for a fresh finish. This keeps your lips looking hydrated and adds a hint of colour.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to prep their skin, which can lead to uneven makeup application. Using too much product can also weigh down your look, making it feel heavy rather than fresh. Skipping on the blush or highlighter can leave your face looking flat instead of vibrant, so don’t shy away from colour!

The pro moveFor an extra glow, mix a drop of liquid highlighter into your tinted moisturiser before applying.
