Spring looks


question
I want to lighten my look for spring. Any suggestions?

answer
You've picked an excellent time to think about changing the contents of your make-up bag. One thing you should probably get rid of is that old mascara. Your eyelashes are your first natural defence against dirt, bacteria and other yucky stuff that can get into your eye area. Replace it every three months, even if it isn't used up. Get yourself a lip brush and clear gloss - you can freshen your look by simply wearing gloss mixed with your favourite lipsticks. Just swipe your brush against the lipstick and dab it in gloss; then paint the mixture on your lips. As the weather gets hotter, you usually want less coverage. Try lightening up on your foundation. For springy, sheer coverage, mix foundation with your moisturiser in your palm before applying. Besides offering a slight radiance, it's easier and faster to apply than just foundation alone.
