Spring is coming. Boost your beauty look with these runway-inspired tweaks that will give an instant jolt of energy to the saddest of winter skin, hair and nails.
Electric Lids
Neutrals have their place and time, but this season’s bursts of teal, cobalt and turquoise are the brightest new idea for eyes. Add a small dose with a thin line along the upper lashes, or go bold with an all-over-lid look.

Mane Event
Shiny, healthy, commercial-worthy hair is easily the most luxurious look for spring. To achieve the same level of luster, try L’Oréal Paris EverPure Cleansing Balm, which nourishes dry, colour-treated hair back to life. The sulfate-free, low-lather conditioner transforms into a gentle cleanser, which softens and adds radiance.
Pretty in Pinks
Dark and moody may echo your cold-weather vibe, but consider the first signs of spring your permission to give those lips a peony-to-fuchsia pop.

Woven Wonders
Adding unexpected braids instantly elevates any unoriginal updo. Backstage at Hervé Léger, hairstylist Orlando Pita crafted a simple French braid that swept across the forehead and finished in a low ponytail. Ethereal wisps are welcome.
Pastel Perfect
Sorbet-inspired nails add a pretty punch from your hands to your toes. We love Deborah Lippmann’s Sweets For My Sweet collection. Each colour is like spring in a bottle.
