I've been so inspired by the beautiful sunny weather lately that I decided to brighten things up with my makeup look today! I'm wearing two colours that are really "in" for spring and summer, tangerine orange and hot pink. Woot! I actually love how they look, they are surprisingly wearable colours and go extremely well with bronzey, sunkissed skin. (In reality my skin is far from sunkissed but we faked it with lots of bronzer & shimmery delights ;)
I am using the new Spring/Summer palette (£25) from Sarah G Cosmetics -- these shades are so gorgeous and super pigmented, yay!
The palette comes complete with a matte bronzer, warm hot pink blush and four eyeshadows (all shimmery): a champagne colour, vibrant tangerine/orange, hot sparkly pink and bronze/brown. So versatile and gorgeous! You could do a million things with this little palette.
Also a part of her new collection is this shimmering Face & Body Glo (£15). A little bit of this goes a long way! I have a feeling this will be my staple for summer, as it gives your skin a beautiful bronzey glow without looking oily or shiny.
And here is the lip pout in Crystal Pink -- I did not expect to like this much pink on my face but I really do! This is the perfect shade of pink which isn't too loud but gives just the right hint of colour. I also like that it's in a little pot like a lip balm, but it applies like a gloss.
I also matched my makeup to my scarf! Ha ha ha... Even though I'm a huge fan of black and it plays such a big part in my wardrobe, I've been really turned off by it lately and I find myself veering towards the lighter/brighter colours. This pashmina was a gift from my brother when I was about 16 and it has different shades of pink and orange in it. It went perfectly with this makeup look!

Hey dear! This post is really helpful and you are looking absolutely gorgeous! <3 Thanks for this post. I did my make-up lessons from Lina Cameron. I wanted to KVD concealer for regular use in summer. Which shade I should buy for NC40? one. What do you think, how it will be for oily skin and for my regular use?
