It’s time to welcome the arrival of spring with open arms! And what better way to do that than by embracing the season’s latest colour trends?
From fresh pastels to bold and bright hues, this year’s palette offers something for everyone. To help you navigate the world of spring colours, we asked nail tech, Founder and CEO of Ciaté London, Charlotte Knight, breaks down some insights for us.
“I’m noticing that bold blues are having a moment in London at the moment, blue nails, blue liner and blue shadows are all filling the makeup bags of the makeup innovators at the moment. The colour is having a moment as all the various shades of blue offer great transitional colours that cover all occasions as we shift from winter to spring, from the icy winter tones to the pastel spring blue. To get involved, try and make a blue liner by wetting a small brush and dipping it into your favourite blue eyeshadow before dragging it along your eye. This suits all eye colours and skin tones.
Flushed and blushed pinks are being seen across all celebs, with blush that’s sitting high on the cheeks being carried across the eye and the same tone on the lip too. Pink is an overarching macro trend this year and at the moment it’s pale, Balletcore pink that is stealing our hearts. A cool toned pink gives you the cute, just kissed blush. There are so many ways to incorporate more pinks into your makeup. My favourite is to select a pale pink liquid blush and pop it high on the cheek bones, pushing it into the skin and bouncing it across the cheek bones and the bridge of the nose too. Select a matching lipgloss and eyeshadow to run it across the eye lightly. The result? Pink princess realness.”
