Is mineral makeup good for acne? Discover when mineral makeup helps with pimples, what to look for, and how to wear it calmly, beautifully, and skin-friendly.
As soon as spring arrives, something changes. The light becomes softer, the days longer, and often we naturally feel the need to make our makeup a bit lighter and fresher.
Where in winter we might quickly reach for warmer, deeper shades, these now give way to something softer. Pastel colors perfectly match that feeling: light, fresh, and natural.
But how do you make sure pastel makes you shine, instead of making you look a bit washed out?
Why pastel works so beautifully in spring
Pastel shades fit the season wonderfully:
they reflect the soft daylightgive your skin a fresh appearanceand create a light, open look
Precisely because these colors are so subtle, they enhance your natural appearance instead of overpowering it.
How to wear pastel in a beautiful, natural way
Pastel doesn’t have to be bold or “sweet”; it’s all about finesse.
A few tips we often give:
Choose soft transitions instead of harsh linesWork in thin layers for a natural effectCombine with a bit of definition (for example, mascara)Add a fresh blush for extra liveliness
This way your look stays balanced and you avoid it becoming too light overall.
Pastel, but suited to your skin
Although pastel colors are basically very accessible, the right shade really makes a difference.
A color may seem perfect at first glance but turn out slightly different on the skin. This often has to do with your undertone.
To keep it simple:
Warm skin tones often look beautiful with peach and warm rose shades. Think of our Peach Puff blush, Laguna bronzer, Bellini and Vintage eyeshadow, and Vibe lipstick pencil.Cool skin tones shine with lilac and cool pink shades.Think of our Dollface blush, Choco bronzer, Daydream and Cupcake eyeshadow, and Burst lipstick pencil.Neutral shades like soft dusty pink or champagne almost always work well. Think for example of Flirt blush and Jetsetter bronzer, Slay and Prosecco eyeshadow and Rebel lipstick pencil.
