Floral make-up was in full bloom on the spring runways and thankfully, it's one of the easiest looks to recreate. Rosy cheeks and pretty pastel eye-shadows will turn you from a wilting wallflower to enchanting rose.
From the strong Forty's look of last season, comes spring with all its light and airy beauty. Colour is big as ever but if the wild shades from the pop art-neon trend are too much to dare, then flutter your feminine side with pretty shades flatter and enhance.
Face
Keep base soft and dewy with a luminous sheen to say you're fresh-faced and care-free. Mineral foundations, formulated with tiny mineral ingredients, won't clog the skin but cover imperfections naturally, with light reflecting particles for that radiant glow. L'Oréal Paris True Match Minerals, £14.99 come in six shades each with their own brush and cap attached for maximum hygiene; just dust onto face in small, circular motions any time of day for that naturally flawless look.
Blush
It's all about the romance so think peaches ‘n' cream and roses on cheeks - looks that suit everyone. From Marc Jacobs to Luella, modern girliness was everywhere, bringing pretty back in fashion. Blend peachy-corals onto cheeks like Maybelline NY Dream Mousse Blush in Coral, £5.99 and keep the rest of face simple and minimal. Apply to the apples of cheeks or to cheek bones for a fresh and pretty spring-lift.
Lips
Lips pinched with pastel pinks and iridescent shimmering glosses make this a truly romantic affair. Avoid harsh lines and overpowering colours, but opt for subtle lips stains and sheer shades. The new Glam Shine Natural Glow lip glosses from L'Oréal Paris, £6.99 will freshen up lips with a natural glow. There are four different finishes to choose from (perfect for day and night wear) and the Natural Moonlight is particularly great for this trend, as it contains subtle, understated shimmers in either Nude or Rose.
Eyes
The eyes are where you can have the most romantic fun and flirtation. Swap strong with soft and go for transparent hues in lilacs, pale pinks and gorgeous greys to accentuate eyes prettily. Rim inner and outer edges with soft pinks or duck grey, something similar to the Expertwear Trio Eyeshadow in Vintage Grey, £5.99 from Maybelline NY, which gives eyes a dreamy elegance.
From powerful winter purples to soft spring lilacs, this is the perfect transition from one season to the next. Highlight eyes with Eva Lilac Dark Eyes, from L'Oréal Paris Star Secrets Trio Pro range, £6.99 as it cries come hither, ever-so softly and is wearable both day and evening. Add a few coats of Great Lash mascara from Maybelline NY, £4.99, to bring out the colours and shades, and there you have a complete recipe for romance.
