1. Moisturise
It’s important to start with moisturised, healthy skin. Use a light moisturiser and eye cream.

2. Conceal
The trick to pulling off the natural look is to have the appearance of a flawless face. Thus, concealer is VERY important.

3. Foundation
Foundation is very important for this look. If you can, opt for a tinted moisturizer. If you need more coverage, go for a sheer, moisturising foundation. Stay away from matte heavy foundations such as foundation sticks. Your face should appear to have very little makeup and have a natural glow.

4. Blush
Peach or pink blush is a good option for this look.

5. Eyes
Choose a light, natural colour with little or no shimmer for your lids, teals, blues, violets and pinks are popular. Coat your lashes with one coat of clear or brown mascara.

6. Lips
Gloss your lips with a clear gloss or a nude gloss with a little shimmer. Pink, coral and fushia lipsticks are very big this Spring.

6 September 2009 - Razzle Dazzle Glam for Spring

We adore sequin tanks - they add just the razzle dazzle glam we're looking for during warm weather days. These long tunic style sequined tanks add a bit of the punk inspired sparkle that we love. The longer length of these tanks gives you a bit o' sparkle on and the flexibility to pair it with leggings, black skinny jeans, miniskirts or even dark tights.

If you are willing to splurge on this Roberto Cavalli sequin gold and gray tank it will set you back $1,125. We also love the bow embellished John Varvatos sequin racer back tank in blood red from his line for Converse.

Accessories are also a fun addition with a bit of sparkly urban edge. Add a touch of sequin bling with these sequined Converse sneakers or a Coach "Poppy" sequin zip clutch.
