Get the look this Spring with Cassie Lomas, VIVA’S Beauty columnist and make-up artist to the stars!
| 11th February 2015
If ever there is a season I am glad to see it’s Spring! Now is the time to get bright and this season’s fashion is calling out for it.With everything from Uniform or Floral to Denim, Women Rule this season. So let’s show the guys what we’re made of. A pop of colour in our make-up bag is exactly what we need to bring us into bright and beautiful springtime.
Look 1 – Blue Eyes
Sports Lux was all over the catwalk so pat a little bit of Burt’s Bees Balm on top of your foundation and brush through your brows.
A matt eyeshadow looks great when it’s applied in layers, keep building using a flat eyeshadow brush to apply all over the lower lid. Use a clean blending brush to blend into the socket, pulling out into a winged shape to follow the natural curve of the eye socket. Set the colour off with a lick of mascara.
When using a matt vibrant eye colour, tone down the rest of the look with dewy neutral tones.
You can get this look with:
CLARINS Instant Definition Mascara
NARS Eyeshadow In Outremer Blue
Burts Bees Beeswax Lip Balm
Look 2- Red Lips
When you’re wearing a red lip it doesn’t matter what your outfit is, you’ll look chic.
I love this look for all this season’s trends but make sure you keep it simple so it has an effortless feel rather than a glam one.
A dewy base will even out the skin tone without it looking caked. Try Mac mineralise foundation but use a damp foundation brush for a lighter finish.
Pick out your best features with a cream, textured highlight and contour. I like to use my fingers to pat the colour on and a soft brush to buff it into the skin for longer wear.
Orangey-reds look great for day wear and this light textured one from Laura Mercier keeps it cool avoiding an overdone look.
The products we used:
Hourglass Illume Crème To Powder Bronzer Duo
Mineralize Foundation from MAC
Laura Mercier Rouge Nouveu Weightless Lip 103-MOD
