The winter holidays are over and before you know it, spring is right around the corner. Prepare to look your best for the coming season by choosing the right spring makeup. Here are a few guidelines to help you choose the right ones.

Skin care

The harsh winter weather is sure to have caused some damage on your skin. To restore your skin’s pre-winter health, use products to treat the cracks and the dryness. To renew your skin, use a facial scrub to get rid of old, damaged skin cells and moisturizing cream.

Foundation

Opt for lightweight and/or luminous foundation. This is simply to hide some blemishes. You need not use heavy foundation for spring makeup.

Eyeshadow

Pinks and various shades of purple are the most popular colors for spring. Look for the right shade that works for your skin tone.

Blush

Pink is also a popular color for blushes. Pink comes in a number of shades, from really pale pink to almost dark pink so you are bound to find one that works for your skin tone. Blushes – and other makeups as well – are being mixed with other colors such as peach so there should be no problem choosing a shade that will bring out the best in your complexion.

Lipstick

Again, pink is the color of choice for lipsticks. Choose darker shades if you have darker color. If your skin is lighter opt for lighter shades. Also take into consideration the fullness of your mouth, if you have fairly full lips, opt for lipsticks with a matte finish as they make lips appear thinner. For thin lips, go for those with glossy finishes as they make lips appear plumpier.
