1. Beauty Roots
The antidote to dry, dull winter lips could well be Bite Beauty’s new spring Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick collection. The 10 vibrant shades are infused with moisturizing monoi butter and coconut oil, so you get a full-colour look, with no dryness. From burnt orange Chicory to coral Clove and deep indigo Kohlrabi, each is inspired by root vegetables and their natural vibrancy. BITE BEAUTY Amuse

The spring collection from Bare Minerals Gen Nude Patent Lip Lacquer and Powder Blush have every nude inclination covered. The powder blush comes in six buildable shades, designed to give a natural rosy glow and mimic the skin’s natural flush. Pair with your pick of 18 nude high-shine lipsticks with moisturizing algae and aloe. BARE MINERALS

3. Spring Sparkle
Take your lid look to a whole new level with the pigment-packed spring offerings from Stila. The pearlescent Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadows start out wet and dry down to a sheen with major shimmer and stamina. Then the Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadows up the drama with three Bohemian Beauty limited-edition shades for spring 2018: sheer copper, rose gold and bronze, each with the perfect balance of colour and sparkle. STILA Shimmer & Glow
Liquid Eye Shadow, $31, Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow, $31, exclusively at Murale, Shoppers Drug Mart.
4. Colour Pop
It may be a while before we can break out our proper spring wardrobes, but that does not mean we can’t get our hands on spring colours. Joe Fresh’s eight new pastel shades each have a cool, dusty look and give a high-shine gel-like finish, which lasts up to two weeks,
without needing a lamp. Swipe on Cantelope, Kiwi or Coconut for an extra tropical vibe. JOE FRESH Gel Look
polish, $5 each, at Loblaws from April.
5. Big Lash
Known for its mascara masterpieces Bad Gal and They’re Real, Benefit launches another buzz-worthy lash intensifier, Bad Gal Bang. True to form, the mascara gives a full, almost false look. The matte black tube houses a streamlined flexible wand that gets right in from root to tip and contains a flakefree, water-resistant formula with strengthening Provitamin B5. BENEFIT Bad Gal
Bang mascara, $32, at Shoppers Drug Mart and Sephora.

tions to lipsticks, including native Australian ingredients like Kakadu Plum, said to contain the world’s highest dose of Vitamin C. Standouts include the creamy concealer, which blends in easily and illuminating primer that leaves skin dewy and radiant. NUDE BY NATURE

Dust on a sun-kissed glow with one of the two limited-edition illuminating cheek palettes, made with a water-activated formula designed to sink right into the skin, for a more natural finish.
