Freshen Up your Skincare this Spring with these 9 BC Based Skincare Products
From natural, dewy skin to a quirky take on a classic trend, spring looks are all about freshening up—and your new routine starts here
From natural, dewy skin to a quirky take on a classic trend, spring looks are all about freshening up—and your new routine starts here.
Having fresh skin for spring isn’t exactly a new trend, but you’ll be pleased to know the no-makeup look is sticking around this season. Swapping full-coverage products for lighter formulas allows you to embrace your natural beauty, and makes for a quicker morning beauty routine.
GET THE LOOK: Both Evalina’s Dew Beauty Benefit Cream and Luminous Face Primer hydrate and prepare the skin to enhance overall tone while providing sheer coverage to give you that natural glow. To use the BB cream and primer, apply under makeup with Evalina’s Flawless Face Blending Sponge or your fingertips. For an overall luminous look, apply the primer over makeup and dab to blend.
For a healthy, springtime glow, add a pop of colour in the form of a gel blush to get the look of naturally flushed cheeks. Not only does a liquid formula give skin a moisturizing boost, it doesn’t require much technical skill to perfect.
GET THE LOOK: Nothing says spring quite like a warm orangey-pink, and Evalina’s Glow Lip and Cheek Stain in Coral will give your cheeks (and lips) an effortless, natural glow. Just tap the product into your skin, then build and blend to your heart’s content.
While we may think of lip gloss as a nostalgic ’90s/’00s trend, there’s no denying that it’s as hot as ever for spring 2022. Worn alone or on top of your favourite matte lipstick, a light, pink-toned gloss is just what you need to see you through the season.
GET THE LOOK: Evalina’s Moisturizing Lip Gloss comes in four beautiful shades that are all perfect for spring. The sheer, non-sticky formula protects and soothes lips for a perfect finish and long-lasting shine. Apply a light layer for sheer coverage or layer for more intensity.
This one’s for the braver among us, but trust us when we say the pay off is worth it. Gaining momentum in the makeup world, double-winged liner brings depth, dimension and a lot of fun to your classic cat-eye look. Plus, its versatility means it can be adapted for all eye shapes.
GET THE LOOK: For a “classic” double-liner look, simply take your Evalina Precision Liquid Eyeliner and press down on the outside corner of your eye, then drag the liner along your top lid toward the centre and trace all the way to the inner corner of your eye. From there, bring it upwards into the crease for a double-winged eyeliner look. And don’t worry about smudging! Our liquid liner dries quickly and stays put without transferring, running or feathering for up to 24 hours.
