THE BEAUTY REFRESH

Keen on giving your make up look a quick and easy update? Trying out a new beauty palette is a good way to go. No longer just about cakey eyeshadow, today’s beauty palettes focus on the skin as much as the eyes, and they are designed specifically to give a healthy, dewy look. They’re all about light-diffusing powders, illuminating pigments and flattering, natural tones, which makes them ideal for creating a fresh, spring-friendly face. Easy to use, easy to carry and easy to work in with your normal make up look, they’re a failsafe and foolproof pick-me-up. Here are three we love.
