Why this worksAs seasons change, so do our skin and makeup needs. Warmer weather calls for lighter textures and brighter colours that complement the fresh blooms. Transitioning your makeup helps enhance your natural beauty while keeping your look in sync with the vibrant energy of spring.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised base. Use a lightweight primer to create a smooth canvas and ensure your makeup lasts longer.
  2. Choose a Dewy Foundation Opt for a dewy foundation or a tinted moisturiser to achieve a fresh, natural glow. Apply sparingly, building coverage where needed.
  3. Add Colour to Your Cheeks Use a cream blush in a soft, rosy tone to give your cheeks a natural flush. Cream formulas blend seamlessly and add to that dewy look.
  4. Brighten Your Eyes Incorporate light, shimmery eyeshadows and a few coats of mascara to open up your eyes. Consider pastel shades for a fun spring vibe.
  5. Finish with a Glossy Lip Choose a tinted lip balm or a glossy lipstick for a fresh, hydrated finish. This keeps the look youthful and vibrant.

Where people go wrong

Many people stick to heavy foundations that feel too thick for spring. Others may skip skin prep, leading to patchy makeup. Remember to choose shades that suit the season, avoiding dark, autumnal colours.

The pro moveMix a drop of facial oil into your foundation for an extra dewy finish.
