Spring Cheeks & Lips!!!

Spring make-up is all about natural flushed beauty, paying most attention to the cheeks & lips. Soft pink lips with a flash of colour on the cheeks is all you need to glow this season, match it up with the flower power craze that is hitting the high streets right now & you're bang on trend!!!!

Get The look -

Use a light base, try Stila's Tinted Moisturiser from yesterday's post.
Take a nude shadow across the whole lid & a brown pencil on the lash lines to create a softly defined eye
Use a cheek & lip stain for the cheeks & lips, it creates a natural flushed look.
Best tip, is to dab a tiny amount on your hand with your finger tips & start at the apple of your cheeks & work up, keep most of the colour intensity on the 'apple' area to keep it looking soft & youthful.
Again dab the stain on with your fingertips for the lips, don't use a lip pencil with this style as it will look over-done.

Try out Superdrug's 'Pussy Cat Lip & Cheek Stain', good enough to rival Benefit's classic & at £4.99 it's a steal!!!!!

New Spring Trends for 2008 - White Eyeliner & Highlighter

Back in trend this spring is White Eyeliner which is great news for all those tired post party eyes!!!!
An easy trick to master, it makes your eyes appear wider, brighter & more awake with an added sparkle!
The best way to apply this is to the inner rim of your bottom lash line (inside your lower lid), it reflects light really opening up the eye as well as brightening the whites of your eyes too. To get this look go for Mac's Eye Kohl in Fascinating (£11).
Also to really get those eyes shimmering this year use a little highlighter in the inner corners, it will draw light into this area, opening up the eye & giving a more youthful appearance, try Mac's eye shadow in 'Phloof' (£10)


Another big trend for spring 2008 is highlighter which gives a fresh glow to the skin, simply use alone without make-up for a natural dewy look. Apply to the upper part of your cheek bone (just below the eye), take it right up to the brow bone & for some extra definition apply some along the bridge of your nose.
Try Maybelline's Dream Mouse Shimmer, it's really easy to apply & comes in 2 shades - Champagne or Porcelain (£5.99)
