Spring Make-Up Trends

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your beauty routine, and what better way to do that than with a fresh and glowing make-up look? This season, the focus is all about sculpting the face with cream contour and adding some of the latest finishing touches to any make-up look. By using a few simple techniques and incorporating some of the hottest trends, you can create a radiant complexion that will have you feeling confident and beautiful all season long. So, whether you’re new to make-up or a seasoned pro, read on for some tips and tricks on how to create a stunning spring-time make-up look that’s sure to turn heads.

Have you heard of make-up underpainting? It’s a really cool technique where you apply a slightly darker shade of foundation or concealer underneath your regular foundation to create more depth and dimension to your face. You’ll want to apply it in areas where natural shadows fall, like the hollows of your cheeks, the sides of your nose, and around the perimeter of your face.

This technique is a great alternative to powder contouring if you’re not as confident with blending deeper tones of powder on top of your makeup. It helps to create a more natural-looking shadow, which makes the contour look more three-dimensional and subtle. Underpainting can also help to balance out any uneven skin tone or discoloration, giving you a more even, smoother-looking complexion.
