1. Breathing Fresh Air into Spring: Soft and Dreamy Pastel Makeup Tutorial

It’s officially spring, and what better way is there to celebrate the new season than doing a quick makeup switch-up? If you’re looking for a soft and dreamy look, pastel is the perfect way to go!

You’ll need a few basic products to achieve this look:

• A gentle eyeshadow palette. Lighter shades of pastel pink and mint green are a great choice for this look. Make sure to have a white or off-white for highlighting and a darker pink shade for contouring.
• Tinted lip balm. Go for a natural, subtle color that will bring out your natural features.
• High-definition blush. A soft pink or peach tone will work best here.
• Nude mascara. You don’t want to overpower the delicate colors with too much mascara.

Now, here’s how to get the look:

• Start off by sweeping the lighter shades of eyeshadow on the lid, from the inner corner and working outward.
• Add your contour shade, focusing on the crease.
• Slightly blending the contour and the base shade is key for achieving a natural finish.
• Blend the colors up towards the brow bone for a subtle highlight.
• Smudge some of the colors under the lower lash line.
• Finish off by adding a coat of nude mascara and a hint of blush.
• Freshen up your lips with the tinted lip balm of your choice.

And there you have it, a quick and easy pastel makeup tutorial for the spring season!

2. Discovering the Perfect Shades of Pastel for the Season

The pastel shades of spring are some of the loveliest around, and exploring the unique spectrum of colors in the perfect way will create a cohesive, beautiful style for the new season.

• Teal: A pleasant balance between green and blue, teal is the perfect starting point for pastel palettes.
• Coral: Delicate and feminine, coral is ideal for jewelry and accessories.
• Lavender: Calm and relaxing, lavender can be used to great effect in interiors to create a soothing atmosphere.

Accessories, like scarves and shoes, can be the perfect way to integrate pastels into your wardrobe for the new season. Look for items featuring lighter shades of salmon, yellow, and mint, to add a more subtle look. Teaming chunky jewelry and bright shoes with a rich pastel shade can be a fun way to experiment with color.

Wardrobe staples, such as blazers and trousers, also look great in fresh pastels. Let the light shades be a way to show off your spring mood and add some brightness to your look. Don’t be afraid to play around with different combinations – pastels look great when combined with each other, and they can also be toned down with neutral, muted shades for a sophisticated outfit.

3. Radiant Skin à la Spring: Prepping the Base

The winter chill can take its toll on our skin, leaving us feeling dry, dull and flaky. But that’s no reason to fear spring! It’s time to give your skin a luxurious makeover with these gentle and skin-loving tricks.

• Cleansers: Start with a mild, natural cleanser that won’t strip your skin and remove all of its natural oils. Choose something alkaline-based for dry skin, and acidic for oily skin.
• Exfoliators: Regular exfoliation is key to sloughing off dead skin cells, and brightening dull skin. Avoid harsh ingredients like walnut shells, and look for gentle options with natural exfoliants like oatmeal.

Once your skin is polished with an exfoliator, its time to infuse it with nourishment. Hydrating serums and lotions are a great choice, regardless of your skin type. Look for ingredient decks that are small and precise, with only those that are tailored to your skin’s needs. Gentle, low-pH archival essences and balancing toners can help balance and nourish the skin.

Finally, don’t forget to keep your hands and lips hydrated too. Dry, cracked and chapped hands can be a dead giveaway that you’re neglecting your skin! Choose natural heavy-duty balms and buttery butters to seal in hydration and prevent cracking.

4. Accenting Your Look with Blush or Bronzer

Blush and bronzer are two classic makeup staples that have the power to instantly lift and brighten up your complexion. A touch of blush works to define and accentuate the angles of your face, while bronzer warms up the overall look and gives your skin that sun-kissed glow. Here’s how to do it right:

• Apply bronzer scattered along the sides of the face. Bronzer will help your skin look healthy and vibrant, and should be applied from the temples all the way down to the jawline – think of it as drawing a sun-shaped arc on the face. Use a bronzer brush that’s slightly bigger than your normal brush, and blend the product into your skin with circular motions.
• Apply blush directly onto the apples of your cheeks. Choose a blush shade that works with your skintone, and apply it onto the apples of your cheeks using your usual blush brush for a radiant flush. Make sure to sweep it up towards the temples for a natural-looking finish.

If you want to add even more dimension to the face, remember to blend outward and upward – for bronzer, blend it up the side of the temples and then along the cheekbones; for blush, apply the product on the apples then up along the cheekbones. Finish off with a good dusting of setting powder to set the look, and you’ll have a perfect, natural-looking flush almost instantly.

5. A Soft, Dreamy Eyelook with Pastel Hues

This eyelook is the definition of soft and dreamy, perfect for a light and ethereal date night. The pastel blues give the eyes a gentle touch, and make them look like two twinkling stars. It is easy to achieve and perfect even for a makeup beginner.

• Gently Prime Your Eyes – Add a layer of eyeshadow primer to ensure that your look lasts all night long.
• Add a Soft Wash of Colour – Start with a pale blue shade and sweep it across the lid.
• Soften the Outer Edges and Blend – Use a medium blue tone and blend it seamlessly outwards.
• Brighten the Tearducts – Pat a light silvery-blue hue at the centre of the eyes for added brightness.
• Define the Lash Lines – Add a thin line of black liquid liner along the upper lash lines for definition.
• Finish with Curled Lashes and Mascara – Curl your lashes and add mascara to open up the eyes and complete the look.

This look is all about subtlety and gentle hues. For the lips, it is worth pairing with a bold colour like blood red or a pop of peachy pink. Wear your hair in tousled waves and top off the look with an airy dress and you’re good to go.

So grab your pastels, add a bit of shimmer, and create a romantic eyeseye look for your next date night!

6. Finishing Touches: Dewy Lips and Highlighted Cheeks

Your makeup is almost perfected! Now it’s time for the final touches. To make yourself pop, add a warm, dewy glimmer to your lips. Just pat a bit of clear gloss to the center of your lips with your finger and blend it outward for natural-looking shine.

Next it’s time to add warmth and glow to your cheeks. To achieve that sun-kissed look, lightly brush a bit of bronzing powder on the apples of your cheeks and blend outward. If you’d like a bit of shimmer, find a highlight shade that flatters your complexion and apply it to your cheekbones.

Now you bring everything together with the finishing touches! For your convenience, we’ve outlined a few essentials:

• Clear gloss for lips
• Bronzing powder to warm up your complexion
• Highlight shade to add a touch of sparkle

Follow these steps and you’ll have the perfect glowing home look in no time!

As a centerpiece of your petal-inspired look, remember to add some sultry mascara and a shiny lipgloss – the combination of these tones will bring out the beauty of the season! With a little bit of natural beauty, you will be blooming with the colors of spring.
