Since we live in a tropical country, it’s sad that we don’t experience the spring season. But it doesn’t stop us from taking part in the dewy makeup trend.
Well, the “in bloom” look is far from Nirvana’s song but shockingly sensual like Brigitte Bardot, who remains the sexiest woman ever, with her pale lips, liquid-lined bedroom eyes and blow-dried hair — all of which are hot now.
To achieve a fresh, effortless and chic look, check out The Body Shop’s Spring Bloom collection with pretty floral hues. Enough to make you hoard everything since the range is limited edition.
“Our collection is inspired by the beauty of nature to give radiance to the skin,” says Shahrul Hussin, The Body Shop market development manager for makeup. “All products are made with Community Trade marula oil so you can color and care for your skin while communities can also benefit from this as well.”
With Spring Bloom, eyes shimmer with pastel and neutral shades, lips are glossy, soft and sensual and cheeks are accentuated with the sheerest hint of blush.
Oh, the cool thing about makeup is that it is not about the application but more of unleashing creativity to create different looks like Modern Catwalk (bright and intense color), Fresh and Radiant (a day to night look) and Evening Glamorous (subtle and not too made-up).
Prep the face with moisturizer and foundation before applying Glow Enhancer in pink (P795) to bring a glow to the complexion. You can even mix with the Lip and Cheek Tint for a pretty pink flush.
Bring tons of shimmer to the eyes with Shimmer Buds (P795) in Green Lily and Silver Maple, Golden Dandelion and Green Nettle and Peach Blossom and Blue Iris. Marked with a cute daisy design, it contains light-diffusing particles and pearl pigments to add extra sparkle while hiding fine lines on the eyelids.
Or for a more intense color, mix and match with limited-edition four-in-one Shimmer Cubes with Sea Blue, Fiery Red, Green Meadow and Gold Sun colors. It’s a handy must-have that you will never get sick of. Don’t forget to apply eyeliner and mascara for beaming eyes.
Then, sweep the Blushing Daisies blush (P1,195) on the cheeks. This all-in-one product can highlight the face or give a glow to shoulders and décolletage. Choose between 01 Palette (delicate, silvery pink with gold and silver highlights) and 02 (rich, deep pink with gold and silver highlights).
Make your lips gloss behind the velvet ropes with Lip Bloom (P695) in Tulip Peach (a soft pink gloss with golden peach) and Soft Rose (a light and delicate pink gloss).
So, sweep the hair naturally and paint the face like a Renoir garden, dance to Fiest’s 1234 Song and you are ready to bloom like never before.
