The sun is shining, the days are getting warmer, and you know what that means, LUCY lovers: it’s time to take a look at your makeup collection and see what you’re missing (and if you’re not missing anything, it’s time to take a look at your makeup collection and treat yourself!)
Spring might only be around for a short while on the Maltese islands, but spring makeup is a must-have. Lightweight, sparkly, and subtle, spring makeup preps you for the heavier weather of summer, where your entire makeup routine might vary - and we have a few products for your spring makeup selection that you shouldn’t miss out on.
Here’s the ones we’re obsessed with right now.
With the weather warming up, you might be looking at buying a new foundation, whether it’s because your skin has lightened considerably over the winter or because the finish you have with your current one doesn’t quite mesh with what you have in mind - or you ran out! No matter what the reason is, we recommend trying out this gorgeous high-coverage cream foundation by Technic. It’s super easy to apply: smooth on with your fingers, blur out to the required level of coverage, set and you’re ready to rock! It’s long-lasting, so don’t worry about touching up throughout the day - but if that’s what you like, the compact is pocket-sized for convenience, and can be carried around easily!
Catrice Beautiful You Cream to Powder Blush
No base makeup look is complete without a good dose of blush, and Technic’s Summer Cream formula is what spring is all about: it’ll give you a bouncy, lit-from-within softness to your face that’s just on the right side of sunkissed. A little bit goes a long way, but if you want to make a statement, we suggest you layer it on and let it dry down, then add in a powder highlight: your base makeup will make heads turn!
RELOVE Euphoric Eyeshadow Palette
If there’s two things you should layer on in spring, it’s sparkles and pastels, and RELOVE’s Euphoric eyeshadow palette has the best of both worlds: buttery-smooth, pigmented pastel shimemrs that can be layered over a glitter-activating primer for an extra burst of sparkly. The hot pink matte shade included is great to add some dimension to your all-glitter looks, and can be sheered out or built up depending on what you prefer. Need your eyeshadow to last all day? A good primer will not only make your eyeshadow budge-proof but it’ll bring out those deeper sparkles like a dream.
No springtime makeup look is complete without a dewy, glossy lip look, and for this, we have to turn to Nyx. Nyx’s This Is Juice gloss comes in six gorgeous shades with hydration-boosting properties and a sheered out finish that gives just the lightest hint of colour - but don’t be fooled by the softness because they’ve got a 12-hour weartime that’s perfect for those sunny day coffee trips.
L’Oreal Eye Unbelievabrow Top Coat Transparent
Love filling in your brows? Us too! But if you want to shake it up for spring and fully overhaul your look, we can say that this one is nearly as good as filling them in with a coloured pencil, and it’ll give you a clean-cut ‘just-did-my-brows’ look that’s hard to beat. Still want to fill in your brows? It also acts as a top coat for your existing brow pencil, giving you a waterproof, smudge-resistant finish to your brows on these hotter days.
