Quick Pick-Me-Up Make-Up

The past week or so has been one long round of parties and dinners to celebrate the The British Film Academy Awards, Elle Style Awards and London Fashion Week. As someone who doesn’t drink much ordinarily and likes an early night this recent merry-go-round has really taken its toll on my skin. After a very lovely and glamorous, but particularly late, night at last weekend, I decided to do this ‘pick me up’ make-up look in an attempt to perk-up my skin – and my mood!

Using some lively, cool tones of silvery grey and lilac (a universally flattering pep up shade) around my eyes I then lifted my tired and dull-looking skin with a great pink blush. A pop of colour on nails, like this amazing yellow from the forthcoming Chanel summer collection also gives you that immediate feel-good factor!

I hope you like the look – as you’ve probably already seen, colour is a huge trend for Spring so inject some colour into your make-up bag now – and hopefully it will perk you up just as much as these pretty pastels did me!
