Spring has arrived in Nelson, which means it’s time to refresh your makeup bag. So in this week’s article, we thought we’d share some tips to help you freshen up. We’re talking spring makeup looks.

Spring makeup looks and tips:

Colour Me Pretty for Spring:

Spring is the time to bust out the bold floral colours! Think bright and punchy pinks. A pop of colour on the lips immediately brightens up any makeup look and always gets a ton of compliments!

Getting your glow on:

As we come out of the winter months complexions are generally paler, especially given the lack of tropical holidays this year. Jane Iredale has a huge range of beautiful blushes to suit any look providing a healthy, stunning wash of colour to the cheeks.

As you pull out your favourite short-sleeve tops, Jane Iredale Tantasia Face and Body Shimmer are a must-have for any last-minute social occasions. It gives am instant glow and natural touch of colour when applied.

Spring Cleaning:

A change of season is also a good reminder it’s probably time to deep clean your make up brushes! Although it is a big chore, cleaning your make up brushes regularly and caring for them will not only help them last longer, it will also mean they perform better during makeup application.

Getting the Foundations Right:

Although foundation choice comes down to personal preference, generally as the weather warms up lighter textures and coverage on the face becomes the preferred choice for many.

The Jane Iredale Liquid Minerals foundation is a beautiful, lightweight option to switch to during the warmer months. With beads of pigment suspended in a beautiful hydrating serum, it’s a foundation and treatment for the skin all in one! It offers a light-medium coverage for day wear.

If you would like to switch to something lighter in weight but still prefer a medium coverage then Dream Tint may be right for you. Dream Tint is a tinted moisturiser that provides medium coverage and also has naturally occurring SPF (always a bonus)!

A dewy finish to the skin is a quick way to achieve a youthful glow and always looks great during the warmer months. This can be achieved with a liquid foundation, a cream blusher and highlighter! All can be applied quickly and blended out with fingers, so, it’s super easy to do in a rush.

All Day Glamour:

If you have a special occasion, you need to make sure your make up stays put for it’s always a good idea to give yourself a mini at-home facial before application.

Step 1: Exfoliate to remove build-up and congestion on the skin. This provides a smoother surface for your make up to grab on to. We recommend the Gentle Exfoliating Gel from Ultraceuticals.

Step 2: A hydrating mask such as the Replenishing Mask from Ultraceauticals or the Dilo Hydrating Mask from Pure Fiji will help to smooth out and plump up the appearance of fine lines. That means that makeup is less likely to settle into them.

Step 3: Fill your handbag with makeup touch-up solutions. Pressed powder, blotting papers and setting spray are your must-have items.

Day to Evening:

A day to evening spring makeup look is super easy to achieve. All you need is a Jane Iredale Contour Kit, your preferred night-time lipstick shade and some darker eyeshadow.

Nighttime makeup calls for more enhanced features. Dust some bronzer under the cheekbones, jawline and across the top of the forehead to provide dimension and accentuate bone structure. A touch up of blush for a slightly more dramatic effect, and lastly a deeper lip shade is usually a great way to take a look from day through to night.

Top Tools:

Let’s talk brushes… Essential tools for achieving your spring makeup look.

Having the right tools for the job make beautiful makeup so much more achievable! Lower quality brushes don’t pick up and deposit the pigments in makeup very well, and often absorb a lot more product. Whereas good quality brushes make blending out a flawless finish a task, even a beginner can achieve.

Autumn is here, which means it’s time to clear out your makeup pouch and make way for new season colours. We’re proud to be the Nelson stockist of the beautiful range of Jane Iredale mineral makeup and can help you select the perfect shades for your new season look.

Mineral makeups are made from pure, crushed minerals and other natural components. So they don’t contain any nasty ingredients or toxic chemicals that are often the norm in other standard makeup ranges. 

You may have spent the summer carrying around your bronzing pallet to give you the beach babe look, without exposure to harmful UV rays, but as we head into the cooler climes of Autumn your skin texture and tone naturally changes, and so too should your makeup selection.

Rosy Glow – Your grandma would tell you rosy cheeks are a sign of good health, but they just got super fashionable! A natural rosy glow is the perfect complexion selection throughout autumn and winter.

Berrylicious Lips – Swap your summer nudes for deeper, warmer colours over the autumn and winter seasons. Red lipstick is always a classic, but if you’re going for a bold lip colour in the daytime, keep everything else as natural as possible.

A Twinkle In Your Eyes – Brighten up a dull autumn day with a little sparkle of your own. A rose gold or classic gold shimmer eyeshadow is the perfect way to update a subtle smoky eye.

Some Things Never Go Out Of Fashion – Natural-looking beauty and glowing skin are always on trend, and regular facials will ensure you have the perfect canvas for your autumn makeup palette. Check out our Advanced Signature Facial, with Free Gift Autumn Special. Don’t make the mistake of thinking natural means poorly maintained! Starting with an eyelash, eyebrow tint and tidy is a great way to frame your autumn makeup look. Buy yours HERE.
