Shadow Play

The usual colors you’ll find in spring palettes are prominent again—peach, coral, pink, soft terracotta and sheer reds. One way to play up this trend is to create an easy monochromatic look using the same product on eyes, cheeks and lips.

Dewy, glowing skin is also in for spring so make sure you’re sticking to your regular beauty routine—cleanse, serum, eye cream, face cream and sunscreen. To take it one step further, I create a “face cocktail” with True Botanicals Chebula Active Immunity Serum and Renew Pure Radiance Oil for extra radiance.

Also, take a less-is-more approach to foundation for a more natural, fresh, hydrated glow. I like DIOR Forever Skin Glow and Airflash for a lightweight coverage that is undetectable.

Blush really brings the face to life. Start off with a soft wash of blush all the way up to the temples for definition. Then add a touch of highlighter to temples, cheekbones and apples of cheeks for a radiant healthy look. Use light peach, pink or bronze shades for darker skin tones.

Plump and juicy lips are the look of the season, and what better companion to a glossy lip than a glittery eye. Metallic shades for the eyes are huge year-round and really amp up a look without a lot of work.
