CORAL CHARM PEONY.
Time to play with the Colour of the Year! A coral flush to the eyes and cheeks can be the perfect way to perk up the skin for spring. Try a cream or liquid blush as a base then a shimmery coral eyeshadow in the centre of the eye and on the high points of the cheek to highlight and glow up the skin.

Fluffy brows are extremely on trend right now. If you already have a full brow to work with then your holy grail product will be a waterproof brow gel. If you’re working with a little sparsity in the brow, a thin pencil or brow pen will help fill in those areas.

FUSCHIA.
If eyeshadow skills aren’t your forte, a bold lip can be a great way to up your makeup game! A bright pink or fuschia colour is great for the spring and looks good on every skin tone. Use a lip liner to create a clean lip line and cream finish lipstick to pack on that bold colour without drying the lips.

DUTCH HYACINTH.
If you’re feeling a little bold, giving your eyeshadow a defined shape can be a interesting way to play with colour that’s a little out of the ordinary. Inspired by the product, I used a sunset shape to compliment the eye shape without complicating the makeup too much. A good tip is to use an opaque cream base first then lay the shadow on top to get a crisper line and more colour payoff.

ORANGE WALLFLOWER.
You definitely will not be a wallflower with this option! A strong winged liner is a go-to for many makeup lovers but why not try it in a bright colour? If you’re using a colour like orange it’s good to continue using a warm tone for the rest of the face to create a cohesive colour story and complete look that’ll wow wherever you go.
