Flushed Cheeks
Who doesn't look better with a healthy girly-glow? A pink blush instantly wakes up the complexion and as the cheeks represent the two largest and most noticeable areas on your face, it makes sense to highlight them. For a more radiant finish opt for a creamy formula, they blend beautifully and look great on naked skin or over foundation.
Top Tip: Make-up artist Laura Mercier says “Put a few dots of colour right on the apples of your cheeks, blend with your fingers or cream blush brush and voila!”
Pastel Eyes
Soft shades of marshmallow pink, sherbet blue, and pistachio green dressed on the lids oozes femininity and gives the face extra radiance. Mix and match the colours or stick to one family of shades for a softer effect. Don't forget to frame the eyes with black mascara and keep the rest of the face clean and fresh-looking.
Top Tip: If you feel that pastel hues are making you look a little 'washed-out' blend with a rich chocolate colour to add depth and contrast.
Bubblegum Lips
If you're stuck in a rut and want a change from your usual shade of lip colour, go for pink. When balanced with otherwise neutral make-up pink lips look sweet and compliment all skin tones. The choice of pink is all yours - pick fiery fuchsias for a shockingly daring look, or frosty pastels for a more subtler, lollypop-stained finish.
Top Tip: Layer a juicy lip gloss over a similar shade of lipstick. Should the gloss wear off, you are still left with coloured lips.
