Start by assessing the winter damage
Winter is almost over, and it's time to dust off the cobwebs and give yourself a fresh chapter. A spring makeover isn't about changing everything at once — it's about recovering from the toll winter takes and adding a little new life to your beauty routine. Here's how to do it.
How is your skin holding up after winter? Cold winds, dry indoor air, and lack of sunlight all take their toll, and it shows. Check that your moisturisers are still doing their job and swap them out if they've passed their best-before date. Choose a moisturiser suited to your skin type and remember that balance is key — a cream that's too heavy now can become uncomfortable as the temperature rises.
Give your eye area some extra recovery with our Calming Eye Gels for a deeply soothing and hydrating effect, or Hydra Glow PDRN Eye Gels for an instant glow and plumping effect that brightens a tired winter gaze.
Take care of your lashes
Your lashes can take a beating during winter. Dry air and cold temperatures can cause increased lash loss and leave them brittle and dry. As part of your spring makeover, it's the perfect time to start using Xlash Eyelash Serum. Apply every evening along the lash root and let it work while you sleep for visibly longer and fuller lashes just in time for summer. Using lash extensions? The serum is safe to use alongside extensions and keeps your natural lashes healthy in the meantime.
Clear out old products
A proper spring clean includes your makeup bag. Expired makeup loses its effectiveness and can harbour bacteria that irritate the skin and eyes. Replace your mascara every three months, and eyeliner and eyeshadows within six months. If your mascara is drying out or smells off — toss it straight away and treat yourself to a new one. Our Drama Mascara or Weightless Mascara are perfect for a fresh start to the spring season.
Update your look for spring
Now that the foundations are in place, it's time to have a little fun with your makeup.
Blush in warm pink tones lifts the whole face and gives a natural spring freshness. Apply to the apple of the cheek and build it up gently for a playful, radiant result.
Eyeliner doesn't always have to be black. Try a coloured gel liner in deep coral or red for a bold spring statement, or combine it with your usual black liner and use the colour as an eyeshadow instead for a softer finish. Our Micro Sculpting Brow Pencil gives well-defined, feathery brows that are a perfect match for a spring look — light and natural without being overpowering.
Spring mascara is all about airy, lengthening lashes rather than maximum drama. Weightless Mascara gives natural length and definition, perfect for a light and fresh spring look. Have you been keeping up with your lash serum through winter? Then the length is already coming through naturally, and you won't need to do much more.
Lipstick in pink with orange undertones or reds with coral shades warm up the skin tone and set the stage for a whole season of bolder makeup choices.
A spring makeover is about recovery, renewal, and welcoming the warmer months with fresh energy. Start with the right products, clear out the old, and give yourself the freedom to try something new.
