There’s nothing better than the beginning of spring when the sun starts to shine and beauty gets a little bit brighter. Here are the top spring makeup trends to put a little pep in your step. —Maddie Clerides

Lip oils are growing in popularity due to their nourishing benefits and glossy finish. They’re also not as tacky as regular gloss which makes them more comfortable to wear. Kosas Wet Oil Plumping Treatment Gloss has hyaluronic acid and peptides that feels amazing on the lips.

Liquid blush and contour are an easy way to brighten up your face when you’re on the go. Charlotte Tilbury’s Matte Beauty Blush Wands are taking the world by storm due to their watercolour-like effect on the skin and easy application. Another beautiful choice that has a more dewy finish is the Saie Dew Blush Liquid Cheek Blush.

Effervescent skin pairs well with any makeup look, especially in spring. Swirl in liquid highlighter with your favourite foundation or apply on its own to add some life into the skin. Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer Highlight is taking the internet by storm due to its array of colours and blendable formula.

Skin tints are coming back around now that their versatility is being re-discovered. These can be used on the eyes, cheeks, and lips, making them a perfect travel companion and an economical beauty purchase. Benefit’s cult-classic Benetint is long-wearing, non-drying and transfer proof.

A wash of colour over the lid is an effortless way to make a big impact. Bright colours in easy formulas like Ilia’s Liquid Powder Eye Shadow Tint are ideal for brightening up the face for spring. Be mindful to apply this quickly as the formula does dry quite fast.

Sephora Collection’s Ultimate Gel Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in the colour Lime is the perfect product to achieve the super-trendy graphic eye look. Simply swipe the eyeliner in the crease paired with a bare lid for a mod look, or buff it into the lash line.

Underpainting is the celebrity makeup trend that is perfect to try in sunnier months due to its use of cream bronzer. Famed makeup artist Mary Philips uses the method on her clients to create a soft, natural contour look. Use a high-end cream bronzer like the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream to carve our your upper forehead, cheekbones and nose before applying any concealer or foundation.

Super bright blush applied high on the cheekbones and into the temples is an upcoming trend for spring that lifts the face. This look is undoubtedly inspired by the 80s, but would look fresh and modern paired with slicked back hair and a bold brow. Try Haus Labs Colour Fuse Talc-Free Powder Blush in shade Dragon Fruit Daze to achieve the look.

Equal parts sexy and flattering, the trend of wet, glistening eyelids is popping up from high-fashion spaces to streetwear looks. Apply a megawatt shimmer in a neutral colour to the center of the eyelids to achieve this look. Urban Decay 24/7 Moondust Eyeshadow in Space Cowboy gets the job done.

Sunscreen should never be just a trend, but now that we are entering the warmer months it is extra important to include sun protection in your routine. To blend glowy skin with sun protection, try the Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow SPF 50. With hyaluronic acid and niacinamide, it provides a beautiful base for your makeup while protecting your skin.
