The tones and hues of spring makeup

 

Spring weather can be unpredictable, with some days warm and sunny while others come with a drizzle of rain to help flowers blossom. With that comes a variety of hues and colours, all of which can help create a spring inspired makeup look.

 

The tones of spring can be broken down into warm or cool, depending on if you have more yellow or pink undertones in your skin. The third option is neutral - those with this undertone will find that most colours pop against your skin. If you have a yellow undertone, opt for a warm spring colour palette including warm greens, soft oranges and reds, yellow, peachy pink, coral, aqua and teals. If you have a pink undertone, cool colours will compliment your complexion. Think pale pink, melon, powder blue, light navy, purple, periwinkle, lime green, true red and pale yellows.

 

With a bit of overlap in these colours, it is all about experimenting with what works for your complexion and finding the spring makeup look that suits your own style and look. Feel free to mix and match, no matter your undertone.

Natural brows

 

The Build-A-Brow is our best-kept secret to creating a fluffy, full brow that promises longevity. This product is a 2-in-1 brow pen and shaping gel to deliver a precise yet natural look. Use the waterproof, swear-resistant and smudge-resistant liquid tip to fill in and shape the brows using natural-looking strokes. Let the product dry, then use the clear gel end to sculpt the brows to your desired shape. After all, a fluffy brow is the perfect to include in your spring makeup look for a snatched yet natural style.

 

Dewy base

 

A key step to a natural spring makeup look is having the perfect base. And with sunshine in the air, what better way to make your skin glow than with a dewy glow? The first step to creating radiant skin is to start with our Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Primer. The primer will provide your skin with an even base along with UV protection with an SPF 20. It also provides a hydrating and illuminating effect that will help makeup stay on the skin for up to 16 hours.

 

Next, apply our Instant Age Rewind Instant Perfector 4-in-1 Matte Foundation to even your skin tone and remove the appearance of blemishes. With a lightweight, whipped texture, this foundation has a soft, satin finish that will leave your skin looking luminous.

 

Bold lip

Use the Super Stay Matte Ink Longwear Liquid Lipstick to create a long-lasting, flawless lip look for up to 16 hours. There’s an extensive range of colours to choose from, so you’re sure to find the perfect spring colour to complete your look.
