Spring / Summer Make-up Trends 2014

Spring has officially sprung! 20th March marked the official start of spring and time to look at a whole host of new beauty trends and inspirations.

During spring / summer there is always a natural tendency for a lighter approach to make-up and this is the case this year, less is definitely more.

One of the biggest looks for 2014 is a return to natural beauty. Although this is one of the easiest trends to replicate, the art of looking barefaced and beautiful requires the assistance of some essential make-up products.

The Perfect Base

The secret to this look is to start by creating a perfect base. Complexions should be smooth and flawless, so avoid heavy applications. This can be achieved through primers, tinted moisturisers, BB creams and lightweight foundations.

Jane Iredale skincare mineral foundations are perfect for creating a flawless complexion as they provide natural, long-wearing coverage, nourishing and protecting the skin.

Glow Time Full Coverage BB Cream - Glow Time covers blemishes, minimizes pores, disguises wrinkles and smoothes and brightens skin.

Liquid Minerals – A light-reflecting mineral foundation, suitable for all skin types. Liquid minerals diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, minimises pores and evens out skin tone.

Dream Tint – Tinted moisturisers are really popular during the summer months. This oil-free formulation hydrates and provides sheer coverage. It calms inflammation and improves skin elasticity

Smooth Affair Primer and Brightener - Smooth Affair has anti-aging properties that even skin tone, minimize the appearance of pores and increase luminosity.

To compliment this sheer coverage other make-up should be kept simple. Cover any imperfections with concealer, a light dusting of blusher on the apples of the cheeks and choose a nude or neutral lipstick to finish off the look.

Pretty Pastels

Nothing emanates the freshness of spring like a palette of pretty pastels. From delicate blues and lilacs to soft pinks and greens, candy shades will enhance the eyes. Pastels are romantic, feminine and extremely versatile. They can be worn by women of all ages and suit different skin tones.

Sun-kissed Skin

Shimmering, sun-kissed skin remains popular during the summer months. Bronzers are the essential product when creating a healthy glimmering glow. Opt for a bronzer one or two shades darker than your skin tone and apply lightly, gradually building up coverage. For an extra touch of warmth, use a highlighter to accentuate the brows, eyes and cheekbones. Soft pinks, peaches and coral tones on the lips compliment a healthy, glimmering glow.
