Spring Makeup Bag Essentials


Spring is right around the corner, so let's make it a beautiful one! Lighter colours are perfect for this time of year, they'll add a glow to your complexion, give you a 'spring' in your step and keep you right on trend.

In need of some ideas for your spring makeup bag?

Spring '14 make-up ideas.
BB/CC Cream
BB and CC creams are ideal for spring and summer time as they give medium coverage without the heavy feel that you get with foundation. Also a lot of BB creams I've tried in the past have been mattifying to the skin so you need not worry about a shiny complexion throughout the day.

Face Powder
As the weather gets hotter the last thing we want is to look oily and greasy, a staple piece for your spring makeup bag is a good finishing powder which can last throughout the day and keep you looking fresh.
(For a less cakey look try a translucent powder).

Lipsticks/Lip balms
A pink and peachy lip is perfect for spring, the splash of colour brings a glow to your complexion and can be worn subtly with just a slightly coloured lip balm or all out with a high pigmented lipstick.

Bronzer
Winter's over and all it's given us is pasty, dull skin but with a good bronzer we can make it through spring looking flawless. Adding subtle touches of bronzer on your cheekbones and on the temples on your forehead can give a natural looking glow to your face.

Blusher
A good blusher for spring can give you the glow you need, peachy/light pink colours are perfect for this time of year and can bring your whole makeup look together perfectly.


The final two products on my Spring Makeup Bag essentials list aren't necessarily your makeup bag but are totally essential for spring.

Moisturiser
Now that it's time to ditch the woolly tights, a good, fast absorbing body moisturiser is so essential to give your skin a glow and leaving it looking soft.
(Spray&Go moisturisers are cheap and handy especially if your always in a quick rush to get out the door in the mornings)

Nails
Of course we need to talk nails, adding a pastel colour to your nails can make a spring outfit perfect!
