Spring has arrived and this year, we all have a little more time to take a fresh look in our makeup bags! Whether a product has exploded inside or it is simply over flowing, it’s the perfect time for a seasonal clean! Work through the steps below, then take the opportunity to switch to products for a lighter, brighter spring time look!
Clean up
Empty everything out and either machine wash or give your makeup bag a really good scrub!
Out with the old
We all hold on to make up longer than we should….the next step is to part with makeup that’s past its prime. Check our handy guide to know when it’s time to say goodbye:
Wash your brushes
It is essential to wash your makeup brushes to remove the buildup of products and oils which are not hygienic and which prevent a smooth finish. Use warm water and a mild shampoo, gently massaging the brush in the palm of your hand. Take cake to dry your brushes flat to maintain their quality.
A lighter base
Switching to a mineral powder foundation is perfect at this time of year as it is lightweight while still providing coverage. Mineral powders offer protection against the sun and are water resistant so are perfect for holidays.
Glow
Let the light catch you in all the right places. Illuminators with light diffusing particles will help your skin appear radiant and healthy, bringing your whole look alive. Illuminators can be worn alone or with a bronzer to contour your complexion.
Colour
Feel good with a few new-for-spring products. Choose pastels to sweep over your eyelids and a lipstick with a bright pop of colour.
