Bright complexion and make-up for spring

Why use natural makeup?

Natural makeups are enriched with components of natural origin. This means that they contain very few (or no) chemicals. These products also do not contain controversial substances. Natural makeup can also be organic, zero waste or vegan. Just look at the pictograms on the packaging to find out about the certifications.

There are many reasons to switch to natural makeup:

  • It is healthier;
  • It is less harmful to the environment;
  • Natural and vegan makeup respects animals;
  • It is effective, despite all the misconceptions about it;
  • It lets the skin breathe:it does not contain substances that clog the pores of the face (unlike conventional makeup, which promotes imperfections by clogging the pores of the skin).

Now that you have all the cards in hand to choose your cosmetics, here are the steps for a luminous spring makeup!

Prepare the skin for make-up

For luminous, fresher and more successful make-up, focus on hydrated skin. To do this, we apply a plumping beauty oil combined with a massage Gua Sha to plump and smooth the skin. The perfect duo? Gua Sha by Roll on Jade and Vitamin Serum by Oden, which illuminate the complexion as soon as they are applied.

How to use Gua Sha? It's very simple, once your serum has been applied, make movements from the inside to the outside of your face using the Gua Sha, on which you exert pressure. To be sure to do it correctly, here is an explanatory video:

After the moisturizer, apply a foundation primer, which blurs and smoothes the skin, for better hold of the makeup applied afterwards. The + for a superb and luminous result? Mix with its foundation with an illuminator, in order to bring light, quite naturally. Our favorite duo? Balance Me's Lifting Primer that immediately smoothes and Mádara's Cosmic Drop Highlighter. Guaranteed result!

Fluid foundation, the secret to a perfect complexion

Choosing a liquid and fluid foundation is ideal for a sublimated, fresh and glowing complexion. We opt for a very fluid product, applied in small touches or mixed with our foundation or moisturizer. Our favourite? Mádara's fluid foundation, because the skin texture is refined, the complexion smoothed, and the finish delicate and powdery.

Apply your fluid foundation well

The secret of a sublimated complexion and zero defects? The application of a fluid foundation for a natural result. And to do this, we choose THE right gesture and THE right accessory. Here's how to perfectly apply your foundation, in 3 steps:

1 - First apply a foundation primer that will blur and smooth the complexion, to perfect the hold of the foundation;

2 - Choose the right accessory:a special foundation brush with a flat or compact tip;

3 - Take a quantity of foundation on the top of the hand and deposit the material on the nose, forehead and chin, then stretch the product with the brush while tapping for a blurred and natural application. Do not forget the demarcation of the neck and ears.

Our selection of special foundation brushes:

- the PuroBio foundation brush:its short, dense bristles ensure a perfect and covering application of the liquid foundation

- the Bachca foundation brush:its rounded shape allows you to apply the material evenly and completely naturally!

Focus on radiance:highlighter and cream blush for luminous makeup

With spring make-up, we seek above all radiance and a healthy glow . There's nothing better to achieve this result than combining an illuminator and a cream blush. The illuminator allows you to capture the light while sculpting the features of the face:it is applied with very small touches, on the brow bone, the top of the cheekbone, the hollow of the chin and Cupid's Bow. For a healthy glow effect, we prefer a cream blush that we apply with the finger, and which is also used to sublimate the lips thanks to its soft and pigmented color. Our favorite of the moment is the cream blush from PuroBio, which brings color and freshness!

Betting on the look and a fruity mouth

We finish this fresh and spring make-up with the work of the eyes and the mouth. For an underlined and luminous look, simply apply a pretty bronze or copper cream eyeshadow, like those of Zao, easy to apply and with a very glowy "wet" effect. We add the final touch with a volume mascara, like those of Inika, PuroBio or Absolution! For a colorful and fruity mouth, nothing like a lipstick pencil, super easy to apply, with pink and coral touches. And voila!
