A beautiful, warm spring is upon us. We're looking to the future with optimism, putting on rose-colored glasses, and... painting our eyelids pink! Pink isn't just for lips and cheeks. It can also beautifully accentuate every shade of the iris: bringing out blues, greens, and browns.
In our next installment of mineral makeup looks, we're featuring a total blush. Don't worry, though, it's a subdued, elegant version that suits most skin tones. You should only be careful with blush if you're struggling with broken capillaries. In that case, it's worth swapping the blush for a bronzer.
We start with the face: apply a thin layer of clay primer , which will make the foundation last longer and blend better with the skin. Then, I spot-conceal imperfections with concealer. The final step to even out the skin tone is to blend in a little illuminating foundation.
The next step is to highlight the cheeks with a blush in the shade Rose, which won't clash with the eyelids or lips, and then apply highlighting powder. I also apply this powder to the eyelids and around the eyes – it will brighten any dark spots and act as a base for eyeshadow.

Start your eye makeup by accentuating your eyebrows. Brush them through and fill them in with the middle shade from the Brow Like Wow palette.
Apply the mineral eyeshadow Ice Cream to the entire upper eyelid and just below the lower lashes. It's a muted, lilac pink with a hint of gray. It provides a perfect backdrop for the subsequent shadows. Next, move on to accentuating the eyelid with the clay eyeshadow Margarita in a unique marsala shade. Use the same shade to also highlight the lower eyelid.

The finishing touch is to brighten your waterline with a soft beige eyeliner and apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes. To visually enlarge your eyes, it's worth using an eyelash curler.
Apply lipstick in a muted coral shade to your lips. Your makeup is ready!
