Is there anyone else other than me who is glad that winter is finally saying adieu? I’m honestly tired of bundling up in woolens and blankets and really want to enjoy the lightness of summer. I’ll probably start cribbing about how hot it is very soon but till that time let me enjoy the onset of spring and the beautiful weather that is now in Kolkata.
Spring and summer means the beginning of fresh makeup looks and today I’m sharing with you a look that I wore to work yesterday. Went for a spring-ey makeup look using very few products that are quick to apply and look natural. Started off with moisturizer and the one I’m using currently is the Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream for dry and sensitive skin. This has been my best friend throughout winter and is very good for dry skin. Unfortunately, it is not available in India :(. I then used my trusted MAC Studio Fix Powder Foundation in the shade NC43.5 and dusted a bit of Lakme’s Coral Blush on the cheeks. I did not bother with concealer and also left my brows as is.
On the eyes, I applied Makeup Geek’s Cocoa Bear eye shadow all over the lids. I love this chocolate brown eyeshadow and it is such a versatile shade. You can use it on the crease, the lids, lower lash line and it’s very flattering on the Indian skin tone. For liner, I used Oriflame’s Eye Liner Stylo in Black. I like how easy this is to apply and that the felt tip is quite firm. On the lower lash line, I used the Sephora Jumbo Liner 12 hr pencil in Dark Taupe Shimmer. These jumbo pencils by Sephora are awesome. If you haven’t checked them out, make them a priority when you visit Sephora. The finish, pigmentation and the staying power is just too good. And yes, I forgot to apply mascara 🙁
On the lips, I used another favorite, the Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvet in Peach Club and topped it off with MAC Lip Glass in Spite. I’ve always been a matte lipstick fan but now I see myself getting attracted towards glossy lips! (Aging effect I guess!).
This makeup look took me no time at all and I think it might be my go-to look for Spring! Do let me know if you liked it and how are you planning to change your makeup for spring/summer.

HI Dolon,
You look very fresh and such dewy make up! If you are talking about Cetaphil Moisturizing lotion, then it is available in drugstores. However if this Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream is different, then I might be wrong.

Lovely makeup. Even I am loving glossy lips these days despite being a matte lover. In Spring/Summer I go for coloured Kajals more 🙂
