Spring has sprung. The weather is starting to warm up and we can just see the sun starting to poke out. You’ve ditched your thick wool coat for a lighter mac and you no longer have to accessorise with gloves a hat and a thick scarf. It’s also time to update your beauty look. The winter is all about darker, subdued colours, but Spring is all about cheerful pastels. You’re probably already admiring all of the macaron-colored pastel nail varnishes hitting the shelves, but you should also be looking at the pastel eyeshadows. Pastel shadows aren't dated or unflattering. Modern pastel eyeshadows give you a soft wash of colour that adds a sweet touch to your makeup look. Here are some of the best options: Sleek Makeup iDivine Eyeshadow in Garden of Eden Are you a girl who likes variety? Then you will love this palette.
