Best make-up looks for spring summer

 

Calvin Klein

To get your thinking about what to buy, here are the best looks for the coming season.
Fluoro shadow

make up
Swipe fluoro shadow – in a messy Fashion – over your lids (as seen at Balenciaga) or highlight the inner corners of your eyes for an alternative to metallics.
Peach cheeks
Forgo bronzer in favour of peach or apricot-coloured blush (as seen at Louis Vuitton). Use a matte shade for intensity or choose one with a hint of shimmer for a more subtle approach.
Vivid lips
Lips painted in rich, vibrant shades – lips that pop – will be a hit this spring/summer. Try a shade other than red; opt for a candy pink pout or a slick of tangerine gloss (as seen at prada) instead.
Faux lashes
Statement lashes are a bit of fun. Try gluing them to your upper and lower lashes (as seen at YSL and Miu Miu); keeping the rest of your face reasonably bare, for balance sake.
Glossy skin
Matt is over, go for glow by opting for skin enhancers and highlighters, mixing them with your base for an all-over shimmer (as seen at Calvin Klein).
Greasy black lids
A perfectly applied smoky eye is so passé. Revive an old favourite by finishing off a dark eye with water-based gloss (as seen at Lanvin).
Neutrals
Neutral, not natural is the aim this season. Be sure to select pink-based flesh tones that will enhance your features, making you look fresh not muddy, and apply them liberally, paying attention to the contours of your cheeks and eye sockets. (as seen at Burberry Prorsum).
Temporary tats
Much has been made of fake tattoos, they’ve been popping up everywhere. That said the moment has arrived for you to flaunt them to full effect. Dot dainty transferable tattoos in the shape of flowers and birds around your wrists, thighs and collar bones (as seen at Chanel) for a look that reads ready but far from rough.
