Something bold, something new, and something very colorful with spring hews is what we are predicting for the warmer months ahead. To that, we add something luminous and glam to enhance your healthy spring glow, according to our beauty expert, Leanne Raesener.
1. REALLY READY FOR RED In both fashion and beauty, it’s no secret that red is having a serious moment this year. Inspired by the designs of vintage makeup, Dior’s 25* Goldie Red (The Gucci Red) is part of a collection of sheer, moisture-rich lipsticks. Each is encased within special gold-toned packaging topped with a rose-printed cover recalling prints from the 1950s. $45. At. Gucci.com.
2. TAN ALL THE TIME, SAFELY Tan your face day or night with COU Skincare’s Sunless Face Tanning Serum. With ingredients like Raspberry Seed Oil, Aloe Vera, and Vitamin A & E, this tanning serum works so gorgeously to hydrate, tighten and firm the skin while giving you a luminous glow. This gradual tanner can be built up daily or just used for special occasions, according to Austinite founder Trish Williams Huddleston. It goes on smooth and transparent (does not have a color guide), so pigment will not transfer to your clothes or sheets. Use under makeup, over makeup, mixed with your sunscreen, or your go-to moisturizer; this serum is perfect for giving you a sun-kissed glow. At CouSkincare.com.
