Abstract placement of pastel colour on the eyes is all the rage this season.

Trend #3 – Centre Stage Blush
Blush techniques have been changing by the minute when it comes to trends, however, for Spring, it’s all about a bright wash of sheer colour placed on the cheeks, temples and draped onto the eyes as well. If you’ve been a little tentative in the blush department, now is your time to let loose and have some fun. Blush for Spring is meant to be center stage. Opt for a cream blush if you have dry skin and a powdered blush if you like a little more longevity.

Trend #4 – Beautiful, Blurred Lips
Soft, blurred lips with the focal point of the colour being in the inside of the lips is a huge 2022 Spring trend. This technique feels like a blooming spring flower aesthetically and wears beautifully as well. To create this look, use a pencil liner in a punchy colour and apply it to the top and bottom of your lips, primarily the inside of your lips (opposite of where you would normally line your lips). Next, use your finger or a small brush and gently blend and diffuse the colour towards the outside of your lips, lifting off before you reach the edges of your lips. For extra impact, apply foundation on your lips, topped with a setting powder before you get started. This will help the diffused look stand out more.
