Springtime has finally sprung here in the northern hemisphere and as we all begin to allow ourselves to dream of sunny days and picnics in the park and bare legs and sandals and long, light evenings and BBQs and, oh well, I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture! My favourite thing about the onset of sunnier and warmier weather is that I can at last do away with the heavy make-up of winter and choose a lighter camoflague. Here are some of my top Spring make-up products that will see you right through the summer too:
Let me explain my choices:
L'Occitane's
Cherry Blossom collection is, in my opinion, the perfect scent for Spring and
this hand cream will continue to keep your hands soft after a cold winter, while
the sold perfume is great to keep in your handbag.
I have used
Benefit's Hoola bronzing powder for years. It can be pretty dark, so make sure to knock any excess powder off the brush before you apply, but the colour goes on evenly and isn't too orangey. It also works well across the decollage.
Posietint is the paler little sister of the popular
Benetint.
Posietint is just the right shade to add a little colour to cheeks and lips in the summer.
The
Eyeko Summer Hols nail polish collection is just the colour to be seen in in your sandals, while
Eyeko's Pastel polish fulfills this Spring's big trend.
St Tropez's Everyday Gradual Tan is splendidly moisturising
and adds some colour to your winter skin. I don't know about you but my skin is looking
oh-so-pale right now and a tan would be just lovely. With the absence of any trips to sunnier climes on the cards, I'm just gonna have to fake it!
Before applying any fake tan, make sure you exfoliate with
bliss's pore perfecting facial polish.
What are your go-to Spring make-up essentials? I always love adding new products to my dressing table!
