For beauty lovers who are ready to embrace vivid hues for the season ahead, there’s nothing quite like shades of soft poppy and coral to bring an edge to your beauty regimen. While black winged eyeliner may have made a statement for the cooler months of the year, the arrival of late spring means that fresh-faced beauty is en vogue. If you’re looking to incorporate poppy and coral-hued eyeshadow into your makeup statement, here’s how to embrace the look in a few easy steps.

1) Start by preparing your skin with moisturizer, foundation and concealer: In order to achieve the look of a flawless complexion, apply a lightweight moisturizer to your complexion. Next, use your fingers to add foundation and concealer to your visage, and brush in the makeup using a beauty sponge.

2) Use blush and bronzer to define your visage: For a flawless finish, sculpt your cheekbones with a natural-looking pink cheek colour. Apply bronzer with a kabuki brush in order to achieve a sun-kissed, lightly bronzed glow.

3) Define your lower eyelids with orange liner: Next, try drawing the attention up to your eyes by applying orange eyeliner to your lower lids. Brush on warm tangerine eyeshadow on your upper lids, for a warm, sunset inspired eye look.

4) Gently blend your eyeshadow for a subtle smokey effect: For a finishing touch, use your eyeshadow brush to carefully blend in a shade of warm brown eyeshadow with a slight shimmer. Next, add a soft blush pink eyeshadow hue, and emphasize the corners of your eyes with this colour. Highlight under your eyebrows with a snowy white shadow, and use a sorbet orange shade to enhance your lower eyelids.

5) Curl your eyelashes, add mascara and apply dusty pink lip gloss: As a final step, carefully curl your eyelashes and add a coat of dark brown mascara. To truly bring the focus to your vibrant orange and pink eye makeup, add a coat of dusty pink lip gloss for a perfect pout.
