Spring into self care

‘You can cut all the flowers but you cannot stop Spring from coming’

Spring into self-care, starting with Ole Henriksen – PHAT Glow Facial
(This product is available for our UK readers at Boots.com.) PHA’s provide a shallow exfoliation to gently brighten skin, perfect for pre-makeup. Lemon, sugar cane, licorice root and chamomile condition the skin to leave it glowing even more. Massage on, leave for 15 minutes and remove with a damp washcloth. Embark on your look for the day.

Celebrate everything the new season has to offer. Maximise with a bountiful 18 different fruit, flower and seed oils and extracts with Bybi – Supercharge serum

Apply after, or instead of, moisturiser. Leave your skin hydrated whilst it brightens and works to overcome hyperpigmentation and scarring. Do the groundwork now for ‘no-makeup’ makeup during the summer to come.

Your skin, but better. Kevyn Aucoin – Foundation Balm, in 20 shades. Blend and buff across skin for a barely-there feel, with a full coverage but buildable formula. Mix a little oil onto your brush before picking up any foundation, for a super-sheer finish.

Sweep a little liquid highlighter under your foundation for a lit-from-within glow. Aim across the eyelids for a soft glow to the eye and over-the-cheekbones highlights for a healthy flush.

Travel light with a palette that does it all. From barely-there day to look-at-me night, and every shade of fierce in between. Kevyn Aucoin – Emphasize Eye Design Palette – As Seen In.

Ballet, blush and a smudge of sangria creates a soft-day look. Pair with a gentle swipe of mascara and a fluffy brow, keeping your day low-key. Want to amp it up? Ménage rose, amethyst and sangria. Focus on Amethyst for your main colour pop.

Gently bronze with your choice of Kevyn Aucoin – The Neo-Bronzer to balance your eye. Keep the lip simple with just a balm. Always balance your colour. Pair a nude lip with a nude-toned eye for effortless and timeless glamour.

Swap your shadows to Blush and Sangria. Gloss lips with Lipstick Queen – Reign & Shine Lip Gloss, in Princess of Peony for a suits-all nude.

Play with textures and grab the cream foil shadow from your emphasize palette. Pat on the inner corner of the eye for a richer colour and texture. If you’re feeling extra adventurous, pat the remnants across the brow.

For a full-vamp look, pull out those high-octane tones with a deep lip. Try Lipstick Queen – Reign & Shine Lip Gloss, in Monarch Of Merlot to really pull out those deeper tones of the eye.
