Cheeky peaches and cool corals!


Spring is in the air, so get ready to refresh your look with the hottest shade being worn on the red carpet.

This old-fashioned favourite is back on trend, and this season brings to us a beautiful selection of coral-coloured shades in modern wearable formulas. Coral can be one of the most uplifting colours a woman can wear, making the skin look sunny, fresh and radiant.


Blush is one of the most important steps in any make-up routine, and an easy way to add a boost of colour creating a fresh and healthy flush that instantly enhances the complexion making you look youthful and rested.

Choose from an array of juicy colours like coral, melon and peach, follow these useful tips to stay up to date and remain as fresh as a daisy!

1. Pale peachy corals look great on lighter skin tones and suit women with silver, grey and light blonde hair.

2. For women with more olive and deeper complexions a bronzy coral will look sexy and still appear fresh.

3. Try a subtle coral with gold undertones on your eyes to make your eyes ‘pop’ and this can work well with most eye colours.

4. For a sun kissed glow try dusting a bronzed coral Shimmer Brick high on the cheeks and over the eyelids or use a multiple cream blush gently over the cheeks and dab a little on the lips followed with a clear gloss.

5. By using a subtle, sheer coral or melon gloss on the lips will complement almost every skin tone.

Don’t go overboard!

Take just one element of the trend and incorporate it into your look, by choosing a gorgeous coral lip colour or perhaps a dusting of coral shimmer blush to your cheeks, sometimes a simple light hue of coral is all you need!

To keep this look modern the eyes stay nude with just a touch of natural cream eyeshadow, a soft eyeliner and a lash lengthening mascara.
