Hello Everyone!
As I'm sure you
all know, the heat has well and truly hit us in Australia. With a change of
season comes a change of fashion and trends, so I thought I would share some of
my top picks for spring makeup!
*BB cream
Using a BB cream
instead of foundation can be a great alternative for the warmer months. This is
essentially a multi-purpose product, offering sun protection, soothing
properties, reduces appearance of pores, prevents blemishes and so much more. I
find that these creams give really good coverage - masking the imperfections I
want to hide - while giving a light and natural finish.
I recommend
·
Rimmel
matter 9-in-1 BB cream.
*Benefit Hoola bronzer
This bronzer is
a tone that would suit most people all year round. It gives a lovely sun kissed
glow to the face and is great for defining those natural cheekbones and jaw
line.
*Rimmel Wake Me Up
concealer
This concealer
is loved by many for its ability to cover up dark under eye circles and pesky
blemishes. This product gives great coverage and tends to last the entire day.
It also has a highlighter-type effect, really brightening up the face as
suggested by the name. With this concealer you’ll be bright eyed and bushy
tailed for all of spring and summer!
*Pink/bronze eye shadow
These two shades
are certainly on trend this season, especially when they shimmer! It’s been all
about the eyes this year and spring is no exception. Shimmery cream eye shadows
in these shades help brighten the eyes and add a bit of a dewy look to the face.

*Powder
If when you hear
‘dewy’ you think ‘sweaty’, you’ll probably be reaching for some trusty powder
to complete your makeup look. I particularly advise using pressed powder if you
have oily/combination skin and/or know that being outside will lead to an
unwanted shiny complexion.
I recommend

Rimmel
Stay Matte powder - great for controlling shine for around 5 hours, ands helps
minimise the appearance of pores.
*Lashes
I believe mascara
is what completes any makeup look, and for added glam falsies are a gem. This
spring you want to opt for long fluttery lashes.
