Trend-setting: Barefaced chic

After the heady glamour of autumn and winter, barefaced chic returns time and time again each spring, giving us beauty lovers a much needed break from the more sultry looks of seasons gone by. Arm yourself with the latest skincare technologies to ensure skin is glowing from within as well as the fab make-up products that will ensure you really don't bare all!

 

Sexy skin

Skin should be fresh and dewy for this look, something that can be achieved through a healthy lifestyle, a well-balanced diet and plenty of beauty sleep. We can give skin a little extra hand of course, with skincare that gives added goodness. If you're not a morning person try the latest handbag must-have from Garnier - the very nifty Eye Roll-on, £9.99. It's an innovative product that massages the eye area and enriched with caffeine. It also hydrates and refreshes for a bright-eyed look!

 

Naturally glam

Going au natural does not mean you have to scrimp on glamour. Today's modern neutrals are sexy, sassy and feminine. Start with a clean, flawless base and by using L'Oréal Paris Touche Magique, £6.99 for some subtle concealing around nose and under eyes. Follow with a matte foundation that covers imperfections without looking over done, like Maybelline NY Dream Matte Mousse Foundation, £6.99.

 

 

Peachy perfect

Follow the peeps on the Marc Jacobs and Luella runways but adding a pop of girly chic to your understated beauty look. Peachy pinks do just the trick as they are soft enough to look natural but subtly lift the cheeks for a modern spring time look. The Dream Mousse Blush from Maybelline New York in Coral, £5.99 helps give a semi-sheer glow to cheeks, perfect for this look.

 

 

Soft lips

If the strong lines inspired by forties make-up is not your scene, then you will love the delicate, nude lips of this trend. Ensure lips are lip-smackingly soft and conditioned and then lightly line them with L'Oréal Paris Contour Parfait lip liner in Honey, £4.29, for a modern edge to this look. The liner will not only lift the lips a little but will also keep the gloss, which follows, in place.

 

You can either fill lips with a balm after the liner or add more definition with a luscious gloss in a nude or gorgeous spring time colour.

 

Eye contours

The look may be ‘barely there' but a little definition goes a long way, especially when it comes to the eyes.  Skip the liner and opt for an eye-opening mascara that will elevate eyes. L'Oréal Paris new Lash Architect Carbon Gloss mascara, £8.99, has been formulated with 3D effect technology and special microscopic powder particles that will add shine and length to lashes.

Finish with a dab of Dream Mousse Shimmer in Porcelain, £5.99 from Maybelline New York, to open up brow bones and give a glam, modern twist to this subtle, spring-time trend.
