It may feel cold outside but spring is creeping up on us. Before you know it, flowers are blooming and your makeup bag will be in serious need of an upgrade. But what should you toss or keep when changing things up in between seasons?
It’s actually quite simple.
Winter air is dry and unforgiving calling for heavy duty moisturizers to help retain moisture. Going into the spring season feel free to lighten up the moisturizer. SPF is a must regardless of season but make sure your spring/summer moisturiser is light as to not clog your pores with the more humid weather and oilier skin.
Tinted moisturizers are your best friend around spring. They are light, provide nice coverage and give the skin natural radiance. Opt for a cream blush in the spring to have a more “flushed and natural” look.
Hotter weather also calls for waterproofing some of your makeup staples like mascara (especially on the hotter days!) and using a primer that will control oil to help makeup stay on longer… Because we want to look like we just applied our makeup after 8 hours, no?
As we crawl into spring don’t be afraid to pack on the bronzer. Remember we want to protect our skin from the sun no matter how tempting tanning may become. Bronzer helps give your skin that sun kissed quality we all crave without having to worry about sun spots, and wrinkles caused by baking in the sun.
Another great way to transition your makeup from winter to spring is to lighten up the colour palette. A burgundy lip is soooo fun but can seem dark and harsh on a beautiful spring day. Play with bright reds, soft pinks and nude lips for a softer more radiant spring look. Lip tints are also a great way to get colour and staying power on your lips.
So, who’s ready for spring? We sure are!
