The colours of spring are upon us! Time to upgrade your makeup bag — all those intense autumn/winter colours need to be transformed into something lighter and fun, more befitting the season. Anandhi Gopinath suggests warm pinks and dramatic purple for the spring/summer 2010 season.


A bit of mascara makes your eyes look brighter and gives that carefully applied eyeshadow some well-deserved attention. Diorshow Extase by Dior provides both volume and definition with just one application. (RM102)

 

 

Inspired by a hand imprint of Coco herself, Chanel has created a luxurious pearly powder that gives cheekbones and eyelids a radiant shimmer. Suitable for all skin tones. (RM182)

 

 

 

False eyelashes may be shu uemura’s speciality, but this time we recommend the duo-coordinate eyeshadow. A smooth liquid glides on with a metallic finish, while a light powder formula adds a luminous touch. (RM128 each)

 

 

Planning to throw out all your old makeup and invest in a completely new look? Laura Mercier makes it easy with the Spring Must Have set that includes a make-up primer, lip gloss, mascara and two eyeshadow quads. (RM399)

 

Inspired by the delicate beauty of the cotton flower, Clarins has created a lilac-themed eyeshadow quartet that comes with a liner as well. (RM155)

 

 

Lip gloss gives a much softer look for daily use than straight-up lipstick, and some shimmer will make your lips look full and healthy. Bobbi Brown’s coral-tinted Shimmer Lip Gloss shades are perfect for almost any skin tone, and work well alone or on top of an existing lip colour. (RM72 each)
