Gorgeous Spring Makeup Looks

Light blue, lime, gold, and of course pink in all it's various nuances from irredescent pearl to soft babypink, apricot and coral. This spring's must-have makeup is sweet and pretty, with bright eyeshadows, rosy cheeks and light, silky lip glazes.

Look One: Use turqoises, pinks and golds together on your eyes - check out Lancome's wonderful spring pallette. Use black mascara only to define the eyes, forgoing any heavy brown or black eyeliners. Powder the cheeks with a rose-beige blush applied with a big, soft brush. Lip should be lightly stained with a coral gloss, try Kenebo's Mode Gloss.

Look Two: Line your inner bottom eyelid with white shimmering eyeliner, and repeat the clean shiny look on your lips use a pale shade of lipgloss such as Lancome's Juicy Tubes. Highlight your cheekbones with a bronzing powder - but careful not to overload. You are after a subtle hint of color, not sunburnt streaks. Maybelline have a nice easy-to-apply formula that looks natural. Use coral eyeshadows to highlight the eye lids right up to your eyebrow. Keep eyebrows soft and natural by ensuing that are a perfect, carefully plucked shape, just brushed into place with a dab of vaseline for staying power.

Look Three: Dusky rose eyes and matching lips are the key features of this makeup palette. Choose eye shadows that are pearly and a fresh peachy blush on the roundest part of your cheeks. Guerlain's KissKiss Gloss Delice is a wonderful product that lasts for ages on your lips. Choose a pale pink shade for a sweet beach look. Use a highlighter up under your eyebrows and a sparkling eyeshadow to line the underneath of your eyes using a wet-dry formula. Finish with a light coat of black mascara applied to top and bottom lashes.

Look Four: Deep lips and emphasized eyes mean that this look will take you from a daytime to a summer night easily. Eyes should be emphasized with a two coral shadows. Apply the lighter shade under the eyebrows, and the deeper shade across your eyelid. Remember to blend thoroughly with your fingers. Try Yves Saint Laurent's Colour Harmony shades. A bright coral lipstick is a must, but your need pale and perfect skin to carry off this strong colour. Be sure that your cheeks are highlighted in the same tone, with a light peachy blush swept across your cheeks and up towards your ears. Two lashes of black mascara - we love Nivea's Eyes Wide Open - and a slick of clear lipgloss over your lipstick complete the look.
