S/S beauty trend -- Naturally naughty

beauty,skin care,make-up Agnes models for Oscar De La Renta By Beauty Editor Katie Corcoran

This look is all about being natural with an edge. Lips are bee stung pink, eyes are dark and smudged and skin is flawless but not matte. Think school prefect still in yesterday\'s make-up.

It\'s fresher than last year\'s gothic look with eye make-up less defined and heavy but now smudged and playful. Read on to discover the key trends for this style and some fab high street products to help you get the look.


Smudged eyes

The look for eyes this season isn\'t as harsh or dramatic as autumn/winter. It\'s not about heavy gothic style eyeliner, it\'s about smudged ‘I slept in my make-up\' eyes that adds a fresh look to the ringed eye shadow we saw last season. Take it as bold as you want and once you have applied your liner lightly smudge it with your fingers. Use this smoulder eyeliner from MAC for flawless application with smudgeable kohl.

Lash-tastic

If you are wearing this look again and again go for mascara, one that means business and that lasts. If you are a fan of the benefit BADgal lash mascara (who isn\'t?) you will love this new waterproof version. Smudge-proof yet still easy to remove, it\'s a must-have for spring.

Add some light

Keep your skin looking fresh, even if your eye make-up is supposedly looking days old. No one likes dull tried skin in spring, so give it a lift with this new foundation from MAC. For that minimal made-up look, this foundation has a handy SPF 15, an easy blend formulation and it will leave your skin tone perfectly even. Just perfect for a quick fix.

Nude lips

Keep lips nude, sheer or with a slight wash of light pink. For a nude lip with a slight sheen go for Bobbi Brown\'s Nude Pink Lip Gloss and for a light wash of colour try the super moisturising Estee Lauder Signature Lipstick in Mayfair Mauve for a wash of vintage pink. Remember keep the lips simple and in good condition - don\'t let anything take away the limelight from the splendour of your eyes.

If you want to add a hint of colour to cheeks then you can\'t go wrong with this multi purpose product from Nars. Not only can you add a hint of pale rosy pink to the apple of your cheeks but you can also use it to define the contours of your face and highlight cheekbones. Just what the catwalk predicted...

Jazz it up

Add some glamour! Keep the dark eyeliner on the bottom lash line - smudged and faded as always - then add some brown shimmer to the eyelid for a more glamorous night-time effect. We love this handy Avon eye pencil, the double ended crayon contains both a deep brown gold and a light bronze to fill your lids with highly pigmented colour as well as strong angled lines.
