WELCOME TO THE APRIL ISSUE AND WELCOME TO SPRINGTIME. Springs floral inspired makeup is vibrant and playful. The seasons floral fusion of lilac, pink and Purple offer a modern update for spring 2020.”The Eyes Have It”. For this look, Alfred used Makeup Forever High Impact eye shadow. These highly pigmented colors offer the maximum color payoff with minimal effort. Here, Orchid eyeshadow is blended from the lash line to just above the brow bone, continue blending Orchid around the lower eyelid in the place of eyeliner. Ivory eyeshadow is blended from the brow to the brow bone and into the corner of the eyes. Lastly, YSL Engravable Mascara is generously applied to the bottom lashes.
Glowing fresh and flushed cheeks are the way to go with a bold eye. The cheeky creamy glossy pink from Nude and Noir Provocative Palette is the perfect complement. The lovely multi use lip and cheek color Briefs is blended from the apples of the cheeks just atop the cheek bone. A pretty in pink lip completes the look. YSL Rosy Color Reviver lip liner is used to line the lips, then entire lip is filled in. Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips Lip Color Liv it up is applied on top, creamy moisturizing and packed with antioxidants your lips are kissable soft all the day long.
Nail it, juxtapose of purple on the color wheel of spring is Yellow. The color Yellow stands for freshness, happiness and optimism represented here by the OPI Nail Lacquer.
