1. A good moisturizer with an SPF like
Korres Suncare Set which comes complete with Watermelon Sunscreen Face Cream SPF 30, Yogurt Cooling Gel, and a Pomegranate Balancing Moisturizer. If you have redness try
Murad's Redness Therapy Correcting Moisturizer SPF 15 and for oily/acne prone skin try
Murad's Oil-Free Sunblock SPF 30.
2. Tinted moisturizer or sheer foundation with an SPF. Try
Sue Devitt's Microquatic Pro-Marine Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30 which is the first to come in a convenient compact that I know of. If you prefer something with more coverage try
Smashbox's new High Definition Healthy FX Foundation SPF 15.
3. A golden based bronzer. Many people have a hard time finding a good bronzer. I've been using my
Hoola bronzer by Benefit for the past couple of years now and it's never failed me. I like it because it doesn't have a shimmer and works on just about every skin tone. Darker skin tones I recommend using
MAC's Bronzer in Refined Deeper Bronze. If you want a fool proof bronzed look try
Tarte's Sunburst Beaded Bronzing Lotion. The bronzing beads burst on contact with skin and gives the right dose of a bronzed glow. It's oil-free and doesn't feel greasy on your skin.
4. Give your cheeks a pop of colour with fun spring hues. I love anything from gels, stains, creams, and powders when it comes to blush. Go with something sheer or go with something shimmery - whatever tickles your fancy. For fair skin go for soft candy pinks, medium skin corals or peaches, and for darker skin try deep apricots or if you're daring fuchsia pinks. Skip blush if it's not your thing and use your bronzer to give your cheeks a sunkissed glow.
5. Waterproof and smudge proof mascara!
6. Go with bronzy hues for your lids like
Pop Beauty's new Lid Bronzer eye shadow palette. It comes with easy-to-follow instructions on how to achieve the perfect bronzy lids! I love also love sheer seafoam or turquoise shades for the summer time. Try
MAC'seye shadows in Surreal or Shimmermoss.
7. Your lips need sun protection too. If you want a balm with a bit of colour my all time favourite is still
MAC's Tinted Lip Conditioner SPF 15. For spring/summer trends try Soothing Beige for a nice nude and for a pop of colour go with Fuchsia Fix or Gentle Coral.
8. Gloss is a must-have for every season. I'm loving all the new spring colours from
MAC's Plushglass glosses.
9. Since spring/summer is all about exposing some skin you want to make sure it's in the best condition possible. Exfoliate with a body scrub like
The Body Shop's yummy Coconut Body Scrub.
10. Keep those feet looking soft and pretty especially during sandal season. No one wants to see your cracked, crusty, unpolished feet! Scrub those feet with
The Body Shop's Peppermint Cooling Pumice Foot Scrub and follow with
The Body Shop's Peppermint Cooling Foot Rescue Treatment. Paint those toes in some vibrant shades like
OPI's Brighter By The Dozen collection in Bright Lights - Big Colour, Atomic Orange, Totally Tangerine, and if you're daring Azure For Sure and Need Sunglasses?, a bright yellow (this would look great on fingers too!).
