Winter is wonderful – the snow, the holiday spirit, and the chilly nights curled up under your favorite blanket are all things to be cherished. Women sport bold smoky eyes or dark wine lips, and lather on thick creams to keep skin supple and hydrated. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end; however with that, there is also a new beginning – spring. And, just as the flowers of spring evolve, so should your beauty regimen.

Pack away your burgundy red lipsticks and stick to corals, peachy tones, and warm lavenders. For a light peachy tone, try YSL’s Tender Peach, and for a bright, warm lavender, try MAC’s lipstick in Snob.

Thick creams are essential to combat the harsh dryness of the winter weather, but with spring approaching, it’s time to pull out your lightweight moisturizers. Estée Lauder’s DayWear Advanced Multi-Protection Anti-Oxidant Creme is a light coverage moisturizer with broad spectrum SPF 15 that also helps to prevent signs of aging. And, with a dry and normal to combination formula, it can cater to any skin type.

TRANSITIONAL BEAUTY

To follow your lightweight moisturizer, stick with a lightweight foundation as well. Vitalumiére Aqua is an oil-free, skin perfecting foundation that also contains broad spectrum SPF 15 to protect your skin from the sun’s harsher spring rays.

Spring is time for a fresh, dewy look; enhance your natural glow with Benefit Cosmetic’s Watt’s Up Soft Focus Highlighter. This highlighter helps lift your best features and brighten your overall face without making your skin appear oily.

With spring comes less heavy and more sheer coverage makeup. That being said, it is important to keep your natural skin in top shape, especially by removing your makeup and deep cleansing the toxins out of your skin. Try Shu Uemura’s POREfinist Anti-Shine Fresh Cleansing Oil, a lightweight formula that removes makeup, excess oils, and even blackheads.

Incorporate some of these products into your beauty regimen to lend your lips a pop of irresistible color and keep skin fresh, clear, bright, and dewy.
