Get a head start on the spring beauty trends with pretty pastel make-up and nail colours to complement your new season reset

 

If the mention of pastel make-up conjures visions of cakey lilac eyeshadow straight out of the Eighties, we don’t blame you. But it is possible, with a little know-how, to wear pale hues with subtlety.

Inspired by the clothes on the catwalk, Burberry’s spring make-up collection is full of beautiful but delicate colours. Start with a wash of Wet & Dry Silk Shadow in Tea Rose then blend Rose Pink from the eyelid, for a pretty alternative to a dark, wintry smoky-eye.

For something a bit more bold, the 9 Shades To Enjoy In New York palette from GOSH offers plenty of options for playing with pastels. Set off a pink outfit, for instance, with a blend of the minty greens, or use a brush to apply the turquoise shade at the inner corner of the eye.

Add the finishing touch to your winter pastel palette with a slick of nail varnish.

Yellow clothing may not suit all skin tones, but Mavala’s Lemon Cream polish is a subtle citrus hue that complements icy blues and greens perfectly.

For a hint of shimmering colour, the Enchantment Collection from Morgan Taylor features four glistening off-white shades shot through with pastel tones, like the minty green Hocus Pocus or the soft lilac Who-Dini.

Or go one step further and combine a couple of colours for an alternative French manicure. Whatever your colour choice, a pale polish will tie your pastel outfit together nicely.
