A big look for spring is translucent, healthy looking skin. “For an all-natural look, a balanced approach is best,” says Rinaldi. “This means you want your eyes, lips and cheeks to have equal impact with one stand out feature. Using shades that are in the same neutral colour family and close to your skin tone work best.”
BY Toni-Marie IppolitoHOW TO:
- Apply a foundation or tinted moisturizer to the face using a foundation brush since it applies product evenly. Follow with concealer and powder to the necessary areas.
- For eyes, apply a light bone colour eye shadow to the area just below the eyebrows and down to the crease,” she says. “Then blend a mid-tone brown colour from the lash line to the crease.” Rinaldi suggest blending the two shades so there are no visible edges. Use an eyelash curler to boost lashes and go sans mascara.
- Apply just a hint of neutral blush.
- Next apply a neutral gloss or one with a hint of a pink or peach

A Note On Laying The Perfect Foundation:
Select a few colours that are closest to your natural skin tone. Next, apply a couple dots of each color on areas of your jaw line (the best place to test). Take a look near a window under natural light. The right shade is one that you can’t see because it blends in so well.
