Why this worksSpring is all about embracing colour and lightness. Seasonal makeup techniques can enhance your natural beauty and reflect the blossoming environment. By incorporating lighter textures and brighter shades, you can achieve a look that's both playful and sophisticated, making your makeup feel as fresh as the season.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Prep Your Skin Start with a clean, moisturised base. Use a lightweight primer to create an even canvas that allows your spring makeup to glide on smoothly and last longer.
  2. Brighten with Pastels Incorporate pastel shades into your eyes and cheeks. Soft pinks, lilacs, and mint greens can add a playful touch. Apply eyeshadow and blush with a light hand for a fresh, airy look.
  3. Glow with Highlighter A touch of highlighter on the high points of your face can emulate the dewy glow of spring. Use a cream formula for a more natural finish, applying it gently to your cheekbones, brow bones, and the tip of your nose.
  4. Play with Lip Colours Opt for lip colours that are bright yet soft, like corals or sheer pinks. A tinted lip balm can give your lips a hint of colour while keeping them hydrated and looking fresh.

Where people go wrong

Overloading on heavy products can weigh down your look. Avoid using too much foundation or dark colours that don't align with the light, fresh vibe of spring. Also, skip the over-contouring — let your natural beauty shine through.

The pro moveTry mixing your highlighter with your foundation for an all-over glow that looks effortlessly radiant.
