One’s beauty stash, no matter how big or small, is like their wardrobe. There are certain items that you wear often, items you’ve forgotten about, and a handful of things that have been delegated to wear in cooler times and in warmer times.
Now that spring’s officially in full swing, it’s a good time to do a beauty edit leaving those winter plum lipsticks and autumnal rose blushes behind, and get our makeup bags loaded with springtime makeup essentials.
We’ve put together our fave products right now:
Base
Now that the weather is getting warmer, and faces are getting subsequently sweatier, it’s better to opt for a lighter base. It’s never good when your full coverage foundation is melting down your face like candle wax. Whether it is a thinner foundation formula or a tinted moisturiser, a lighter consistency base is going to look a lot more natural, give you a healthy glow, and won’t congeal when your face breaks into a sweat.

Cheeks
I love a deep berry blush as much as the next make-up geek, but the rich rose ‘Snow White’ coloured cheek is a little too severe for the warmer months. The spring trend this year is peachy-pink cheeks. Not only does a peachy-pink give you a fresh and gorgeous flush, but it also highlights the warmness of your skin to make you look more tanned.

Oooohhh, I've used my friend's Clinique Chubby Sticks in the past - love the colour saturation. I may have to invest in one myself...
