Spring Beauty Trends and How to Achieve Them

Happy Easter everyone! Spring has finally arrived and the Easter bunny has brought us chocolate to get us out of that winter slump. Even the sun has reared it's head and made an appearance! It won't be long (hopefully) until the shorts and shades can come out and maybe the occasional ice cream can be enjoyed outside without getting hypothermia.

Seasons are changing and with it so are the latest trends. I took a look at the latest beauty forecast to predict what the hottest spring/summer looks are and how to achieve them.

Dewy Skin - Never fails to make an appearance at this time of year. A dewy glow if done right can takes years off your face and give you that healthy, radiant look that everyone wants for summer.

How To - The trick to dewy skin is all about finding the right base. I love Sakare Hydrating Mineral Complex Moisturiser because it gives you just the right amount of moisture to achieve this look. It is also great at reducing redness and evening out skin tone so you won't need to clog up your skin with so much foundation. Switch your powder for a subtle bronzing powder to finish off this look. Pale, shiny skin tends to make you look a bit unwell so be careful.

Fresh Faced - I love this trend because it is all about the no make up look which I think is the most flattering to women of all ages.

How To - It doesn't mean that you literally have to be so fresh faced and make up free. The trick is getting the right shades that are a real match for your skin tone. I recommend going to your favourite make up counter and asking for help with this. What you can do at home...make sure your skin is spotless and refined by using a gentle scrub such as Sakare Exfoliating Gel at least once a week. It will promote a vibrant, clear complexion, enabling you to avoid the 'caked-on' look.


Nude Nails - Neatly manicured nails with muted pale shades in nudes and pinks have been spotted all over the catwalks recently.

How To - Pale shades show up imperfections more such as bumps and chips and so preparation needs to be done before the varnish goes on. As I previously mentioned the Sakare Nail Kit will have you sorted with it's high quality nail buffer, nail file, cuticle oil and hand cream. As for colours I love Essie's Ballet Slippers.


Trends really do go round in circles and it seems like the natural look is up again. Make up can help but the real beauty comes from a good skin care regime and of course...a healthy lifestyle!
