While you might be tempted to use bright lipstick, blush and eyeshadow shades to match your bold spring fashion choices, it’s usually a hit-or-miss strategy. If you’re not in the mood for risk-taking and you’re looking for a guaranteed way to make your spring dresses and tops really pop, a bare face is where it’s at.

Of course, as a makeup maven, you know that a natural face isn’t completely makeup-free. You’ll still need coverage and a bit of subtle color to enhance your features and make your skin look radiant.

Instead of a heavy foundation, choose a tinted moisturizer. You’ll still be able to hide blemishes and discoloration, but your skin will be able to show off its natural glow underneath.

For cheeks, a peachy-pink blush like Pixi – Sheer Cheek Gel willl give you a natural-looking flush, while a bit of brown eyeliner and perhaps a sheer, shimmery eyeshadow are all you need to define your eyes. This neutral palette will keep the focus on your pretty spring outfits.
