It is an established fact that make-up colours are inspired by fashion. And since fashion is seasonal, the current trends tend to be veering toward a softer palette. What better time than now to start re-organising your make-up bag?

Let’s first discuss the skin. Nobody wants heavy foundation, so why not try some tinted moisturisers, or maybe some crystal foundation instead.

Most brands of moisturisers and crystal foundations have some kind of metallic hue and thus give that glow-like effect. This can be a great addition to your make-up collection.

EYES: This season offers colours of a more dramatic nature. The idea, though, is to maintain softer shades such as mild greens and metallic pinks. It is always easy to up the ante when necessary.

LIPS: When it comes to the lips, avoid lipsticks that tend to reveal your age. Use trendy shades like lilacs and nude peach.

It is always a good idea to visit a cosmetic store or a make-up artist who can advise you about the trends and what will work for you.

Also, you can make yourself more familiar with make-up trends by taking a course to learn about the new techniques and products.
