Spring Makeup Fling

Put your sweetest face forward this season ...

By Mariève Inoue
Spring Makeup Fling
Spring is all about starting anew, and we’re helping you put your freshest face forward this season. We’ve got the sweetest makeup trends with flower-inspired products, soft finishes and gorgeous hues.

Fresh-faced
A gorgeous spring look calls for an even skin tone with luminous highlights, and rosy cheeks. Use your regular concealer and foundation (if need be), then sweep some light pressed powder across your face for a radiant effect. Top off the look by applying a shimmery blush to the apples of your cheeks.

2. Flower Blossom Pressed Powder by Dior, $55 at Dior counters

Eyes wide open
Eyes are the main focus this season, with pastel colours and metallic hues everywhere you look. Wear a candy-coloured or metallic shade solo all over your eyelid, or mix and match them to create a brighter, softer version of a beloved two-toned classic, the smoky eye. For example, pick a vibrant colour like a blue or green, and coordinate it with a metallic silver hue. Peaches and bronzes make an equally gorgeous combination. Pinks of any intensity are another must this spring.

No matter which colours you choose for your eyes, don’t forget to finish the look with a layer or two of dark black mascara for intensity. Make your eyes look wide open by choosing one with a volumizing formula and a curved brush.

Gimme some lip
Lips are about extremes this season; go with a vibrant pink or red shade of gloss to complement a lighter eyeshadow. On the other hand, choose a paler lip colour to play down intense eye makeup like the smoky eye.
