Spring is just around the corner, so you know what that means… new makeup products! The past few months we've been wearing vampy lip colours, smoky eyeshadows and thick, heavy foundation, but - finally - it's time to insert some springtime colour into our makeup bags. From glittery eyeshadows to bright lipsticks, jewel tone nail colours and glow-giving highlighters - here's the best of what's NEW this season…
Glitter Gelée, £12, Glossier Play
Glossier Play is the brand new beauty brand everyone's obsessed with. "After two years in the making, we can’t wait for you to see, touch, hear, swatch and play with what’s to come," the brand tweeted before the big reveal. We're a little bit in love with the gold Glitter Gelée, which we'll be wearing on our next big night out.
Exposed cheek palette (limited edition), £46, NARs
Wow! Who wouldn't love to own this cheek palette by NARs. With six colours to choose from, it'll be a firm fixture in your makeup bag. What's more, the colours blend seamlessly onto any skin tone.
The Icon Palette (limited edition), £55, Charlotte Tilbury
This 4-look, 12-shade palette will give you that cool-girl look because it's inspired by the spotlights, rocks stars and dancers from Charlotte's partying days in Ibiza. Formulated with 'wet touch' powder technology, you can also mix the shades with water for a really rich pigment.
Baume Essentiel, £33, Chanel
When Spring hits, we're desperate for the sunshine to bounce off our cheekbones, but until then, we'll be faking it with Chanel's new Baume Essentiel silky gel stick. This glides onto skin giving it a dewy freshness. You can apply it to the cheekbones, the cheeks, on the eyelids and on the brow bone to define the arch. You'll wonder how you coped without it.
Touche Éclat High Cover, £26, YSL Beauty
2019 is the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Touche Éclat family with the launch of Touche Éclat High Cover - a new concealer to bring an extra dose of cover to the complexion.
Nude Basics eyeshadow palette, £8, Primark
If bright, crazy colours aren't your thing, Primark will soon be dropping this Nude Basics palette that will keep your lids fuss-free but stylishly chic.
BB Cream, £25.95, Bali Body
This multi-tasking beauty cream combines hydrating skincare benefits to protect, correct and perfect the skin while providing flawless coverage. It's a yes from us.
Tom Ford Lumiere Lip in Glimmer, £36, Tom Ford
This gorgeous tinted lip balm reacts to the individual wearer's pH, which means it'll be unique and personal to you. What's more, the balm features plant-derived ingredients to soften lips and make them kissable.
Barepro Glow Highlighting Drops, £23, bareMinerals
Who doesn't love a bit of added glow come spring? With light-reflecting mineral pearls, these drops provide a natural-looking luminosity when worn as highlighter makeup, and can be mixed into your favourite liquid foundation, tinted moisturiser or skincare products to add a natural-looking glow.
Cheerleaders Pink Squad Palette, £52, Benefit
Ok, so this has everything you might ever need to have picture-perfect makeup. The palette features the Dandelion brightening powder, the new golden-pink Tickle highlighter, the GALiftornia blush, and no palette would be complete without the cult-favourite Hoola bronzer. They're all full size, AND there's a brush.
Brow Blade, £18, Urban Decay
Yes, everyone's talking about the new Urban Decay NAKED Reloader palette, but you might have missed the new Brow Blade. If you're thinking of having microblading done, cancel the appointment because this will give you pro-level faux brows. The double ended product allows you to fill in the sparse areas and mimics natural hair.
Love, Clinique lip kit, £35, Clinique
Who doesn't love a lip kit, and because we can't get Kylie Jenner's Lip Kits down at Boots, thankfully we can get Clinique's latest offering. You've got your pick of four shades and each one offers eight hours of moisture.
Glamglow x Becca We Know Glow Set (limited edition), £25, Space NK
This Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector is just dreamy! As well, you also get this incredible pink Gravitymud Firming Mask Treatment which will leave your skin feeling lifted and supple. Dream collaboration or what?
Mosaic Glow Blush (limited edition), £31, NARs
Oh, isn't this just divine? The limited edition beauty must-have features a highlighter, blush and bronzer all in one compact. You can either apply individually or swirl together to create the desired effect.
Available 15 March.
Huda Beauty Melted Shadows, £22, Cult Beauty
Trust Huda Beauty to come up with these beautiful eyeshadow shades. The easy-to-use, dual-ended product features one matte and one metallic shadow that delivers rich pigmentation. We're loving the Minted/Dinero teal hue.
L'Absolu Rouge Cream Lipstick, £27, Lancome
This shade - number six - is going to be one of those cult lipsticks you're obsessed with forever. It suits all skin tones and is a buildable colour with a subtle shiny finish.
Sea Turtle nail colour, £3.99, Barry M
Finish off your springtime beauty look with a summery manicure. We're obsessed with this Barry M colour which is glistening foam green shade with a golden sheen. Stunning!
Prep + Prime, £22, MAC Cosmetics
We're a sucker for chic packaging and this special MAC Prep + Prime | Bloom Bloom Bloom is too chic for words. If you haven't tried this lightweight mist, where have you been? Packed with vitamins and minerals, it gently soothes and refreshes the skin, and is the perfect finish for your makeup.
Morphe x Jaclyn Hill The Complexion Master Collection, £55, Cult Beauty
Everyone seems to be obsessed with Morphe right now, and with the launch of this set, we can kind of see why. The set of five professional brushes come in a glitzy silver case, and will look fabulous on your dressing table.
Le Phyto Rouge Lipstick - 41 Rouge Miami, £38, Sisley
This creamy lipstick glides on for a luminous finish and is enriched with Camellia and Jojoba oils to nourish and moisturise your lips. The richly pigmented deep red looks flattering on both cool and warm skin tones.
