SPRING MAKEUP | A FRESH FOUNDATION

The temptation to call this post ‘All About the Base’ was strong, but I managed to restrain myself on the cringe factor. I’ve been wanting to show you this makeup look as it’s been my most worn over the last few weeks – really natural, with the focus on a fresh looking base. It took a trip round the beauty counters at Debenhams, but I’ve finally dared to venture away from my usual matte finish, opting for a dewy foundation ready for heading into the warmer months. 

After much deliberation, I ended up at bareMinerals, deciding on the Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream after it was recommended by their in store beauty team. I was after that real sheer finish, but also something I could build up when I needed a bit of extra coverage. I’ve been wearing it as a light wash of colour on good skin days, then layered up with a beauty sponge on days when I’m having skin issues. For this natural look, I just go for fluffy brows, a light blush and my favourite matte lip, keeping the focus on a healthy looking complexion. 

While I was in Debenhams I made the most of collecting points on my Beauty Club card as I stocked up on some makeup favourites. If you spend half your life loitering around the beauty counters like I do, then I definitely think it’s worth getting one. I’ve had mine since they first came out, and it’s still a welcome surprise to hear when I’ve collected enough points to get a discount. As well as collecting points, with the Beauty Club card you can pick up free samples for products you’re looking to purchase – my skin can be really sensitive, so it’s perfect for when I’m looking to get a new foundation. When I’m off for a bit of a makeup spending spree, I’ll check up on any offers Debenhams are running and make sure I’ve got my Beauty Club card in my purse!
