Beauty In Bloom: Spring’s Hottest Makeup Trends by BrandsExclusive

Just as nature births new life in the spring, your beauty routine shouldn’t be far behind – and with the new season soaring in sight, why not plan out your new makeup bag before the warm up? To help you master the transition with ease, we’ve decided to provide you with the perfect source of inspiration by rounding up the most sought-after beauty looks that are in full bloom.

Blush Bomb

Get your blush brush ready because you’re going to need it this spring! This season, we invite you to get creative with colour and technique. That’s right, throw away your beauty inhibitions and take your blush game to soaring new sights with electric colour palettes such as matte cherry, metallic pinks and glossy lip-to-cheek textures. There are no rules when it comes to application either. Whether you brush from cheek to temple, apple to eye and all over the lids – the draping trend is back, and it’s all about sculpting your visage with the power of blush.

Bold Lip Service

Not a big on blush? Opt for a bold lip with fresh, dewy skin. However, don’t stress about choosing the perfect haute lip colour for spring, because this year, there’s more than just one! Create a colour riot in your beauty bag with anything and everything from electric orange, metallic shades, baby blue, chestnut rose, mad magenta, glittery sparkles and of course, ravishing reds!

You Glow Girl

If you haven’t got the memo yet, the 80’s are back – and in a big way. It was an era we salute for glowing skin and sexy smouldering cheekbones aka the epitome of healthy beauty. Needless to say, it’s a welcome comeback.

Ensure you skin is plump and moisturised before you apply your makeup. To help you get started, apply a good quality foundation or tinted moisturiser that matches your skin tone and use lip-gloss instead of highlighter on the cheekbones to really pull of the dewy, wet look! Add a touch of illuminator to your nose and eyelids, a couple of coats of mascara to your lashes and finish off your lips with a matte shade of your choice.
