Revlon's Spring palette

Fresh face forward

Meet Jacquie Hutchinson, the jet-setting national product trainer and makeup artist for Revlon Canada. With 14 years experience, who better to give you the scoop on the prettiest looks for spring?

1. Skin: “For a flawless complexion, new PhotoReady Makeup, $19, will warm and even out your skin tone without looking ashy. This formula is wonderfully buildable. You can add another layer and it won’t ever look cakey. To set makeup and give skin an amazing glow, finish with a light buffing of my fave: ColourStay Mineral Finishing Powder in Suntan Matte, $19.”

Eyes: “I love a smoky eye, but not just in black! Try a bronze, like Revlon’s Luxurious Colour Eyeshadow Perle in Shimmer Sienna, $9. The heavily pigmented formula has intensity and iridescence, whereas matte shades tend to look flat. This metallic pops on dark skin.”

2. Lips: “Our Super Lustrous Lip Gloss with SPF 15 in Pink Pursuit, $13, is the perfect cool, soft shade. It’s more pearly than most glosses, and has built-in protection.”

3. Nails: “There are gorgeous shades this season, like Bubble Gum, $6 (in stores in May), that are so wearable and more appropriate for work than previous years. Back in the day only young girls could wear these colours, but now they’re absolutely for any age. If you love it, wear it!”

Beauty bonus: Peach Smoothie, Cotton Candy, yum! Once dry, each shade in Revlon’s Limited Edition Scents of Summer Nail Enamel collection smells like its name. Sound crazy? We thought so too, but we tested it and we smell success.
