AFTER months of depressing,
bleak weather we are all longing for spring to arrive and
to get into the new season’s latest trend –
florals.
Flowery pastels and leafy-green shades are hot, and with
a range of colours and tones to pick from, this girlie look
suits everyone from brunettes and blondes to redheads and
darker skins.
Here’s how to look as pretty as a petal:
EYES: Pinks, lilacs and greens are all fabulous for eyes,
giving a great hint of colour. But the colour should be
subtle, so build it up gradually with a make-up brush.
For paler complexions, choose pastel pinks. Try Maybelline
New York Expertwear Mono Eyeshadow in Rose Tint (?3.49,
available nationwide).
For redheads and darker skins, opt for soft green shades.
Try Autograph duo eyeshadow in leaf green (?9.50, available
from Marks & Spencer).
To complete the look, add a smudge of eyeliner. Try GOSH
Velvet Touch in either Truly Brown or Golden Moss (?5 from
Superdrug) and a good slick of mascara. Try L’Oreal’s
Volume Shocking Exact Brush, which has a base coat and top
coat for maximum length (?9.99, available nationwide).
For a great fluttery effect, choose a set of false eyelashes.
Try Eylure Elegant Touch Lashes (?5.95, for stockists call
0208 573 9907).
CHEEKS: Go for a feminine pink and apply on the apples of
your cheeks for a healthy, rosy glow.
