Step into spring with these make-up tips


This is not a paid post. Products are press samples.



Bright eye shadows and vivid lips look stunning on the runways but for most people, especially those with mature skins, it can be an extremely tricky look to pull off.

Gloss may also be back for 2019 but it is important not to overdo it, especially if you are of a certain age.

Natural make-up is always chic and stylish. 

Here are some great products to try.





Bobbi Brown Luxe Eye Shadow, Melting Point, £27
A gorgeous coppery shade that has just the right amount of shine. Has a good concentration of pigment and lasts well. Sweep across eyelid for dramatic effect or use in the corners of the eye to give you that wide-awake look. Just add a touch of mascara and you are ready to go.










Sisley So Volume Mascara 3D Fortifiant, Deep Black, £45, www.sisley-paris.co.uk (Available Feb 1)
A superb product from this highly-respected company that offers skincare, make-up and fragrance using the best quality botanicals fused with science. This formula nourishes and makes lashes appear thicker and longer as well. The colour enhances the whites of your eyes. Has a good wand which enables you to coat even the smallest of lashes. Result: a fabulous flutter.









 

MAC Powder Blush in Dame, £19.50
MAC’s blushers are usually highly-pigmented but Dame is not. It is so natural. In fact this is probably my all-time favourite. It is a pretty pink with flecks of blueish micro shimmer that blend with the skin to give you that sun-kissed look.







Bobbi Brown Extra Lip Tint in Bare Raspberry, £25.50
This is a lovely shade which adds a tint of colour and makes your lips look plumper as well as feeling moisturised. For those that like a naturally made-up mouth with a little oomph, this is perfect. It gives a lovely sheen without being sticky. There are two other new shades, Bare Nude and Bare Blackberry. They are all subtle.
