Laura Marcier Creme Smooth Lipstick in Mango. Availaible Space NK, Harrods, Selfridges at £20.00

Spring has finally sprung and how happy we are for it! I for one have squeezed in a few BBQ’s already and plan on having many more in my new pad with friends and family, lounging in the sun. In light of this it is time for a more relaxed, minimal make-up look that is quick, easy and effective which you can throw on at anytime of day. I tend to go for a dewy, fresh skin finish foundation from Mac’s Face and Body range, a perfectly curled lash (I love the Shu Uemura Curlers) with lashings of black mascara followed by a touch of the new Mango Lipstick from Laura Mercier. Apply and pat into the lip for a more lived in, relaxed feel. An effortlessly chic look for a Spring/Summers evening.
