Shades of Brown

Tapping into this season’s grunge trend we see neutral shades of make-up with clever contouring and a more polished take on barely-there beauty. Beautiful shades of brown take the spotlight with a series of sculpted looks created with shades of taupe, coffee and beige.

After something more glamorous and daring? Try using bronze tones and extra long lashes for an updated take on the classic smoky eye, with lighter hues used on the cheeks for a retro, sun-kissed finish.

Whether you choose glamour or grunge this spring, make sure you swap your pastel pink blush for a palette of earthy golden browns.
