Why this worksSpring is all about light, fresh colours that reflect the blooming environment. By opting for lighter textures and brighter shades, you can enhance your natural beauty while keeping it effortless. The right techniques will bring out your glow without feeling heavy or overdone.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised face. Use a lightweight primer to create a smooth canvas, allowing your makeup to apply more evenly and last longer.
  2. Choose a Light Foundation Opt for a tinted moisturiser or a lightweight foundation for a fresh look. This will keep your skin looking natural and dewy, perfect for the spring vibe.
  3. Add a Pop of Colour Incorporate pastel or vibrant shades for your eyes and cheeks. A cream blush or highlighter can add a youthful glow that complements a spring palette.
  4. Go for Fresh Lips Choose a lip tint or a sheer lipstick in fruity shades. This will give you that 'just bitten' look, which is fresh and perfect for the season.
  5. Finish with Setting Spray To lock your look in place, finish with a hydrating setting spray. This will help your makeup stay put while giving a beautiful, dewy finish.

Where people go wrong

Many people go too heavy on foundation, which can look cakey in spring light. Others might overlook the importance of prep, leading to uneven application. Lastly, skipping setting spray can result in makeup fading quickly.

The pro moveMix a bit of liquid highlighter into your foundation for an extra glow.
