Why this worksSpring brings warmer weather and brighter colours, so it’s essential to adapt your makeup to reflect that. The right techniques can enhance your features while keeping your look light and breezy, perfect for the season’s festivities.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with a Clean Slate Before refreshing your makeup, gently remove excess oil and any faded makeup. Use a micellar water or cleansing wipe to ensure your skin feels fresh and ready for a touch-up.
  2. Add a Lightweight Foundation Swap your thick foundation for a tinted moisturiser or BB cream. Apply a small amount and blend it out for a natural finish, allowing your skin to breathe while evening out your complexion.
  3. Brighten Up Your Eyes Switch to lighter, spring-inspired eyeshadow shades like pastels or soft neutrals. Use a fluffy brush to apply and blend the colour for a soft, diffused look that enhances your eyes without being overpowering.
  4. Switch to a Cream Blush Cream blushes give a dewy, fresh finish perfect for spring. Dab a small amount on the apples of your cheeks and blend upwards for a natural flush that lasts longer than powder formulas.
  5. Finish with a Soft Lip Opt for a tinted lip balm or a sheer lipstick in a light, fruity shade. This keeps your lips hydrated and adds a pop of colour without being too heavy for the warmer weather.

Where people go wrong

Many people forget to remove the old makeup before refreshing, which can lead to a cakey appearance. Also, using heavy products can weigh down your look—stick to lighter formulations for a fresh vibe.

The pro moveConsider using a setting spray after your refresh to keep everything in place throughout the day and night.
