It’s a light and natural range, tending to the cooler apricot/ coral tones rather than warm pinks.

I’m wearing the nail polish BECCA Dancing Barefoot, a creme pastel apricot shade.

BECCA Mineral Blush in Damselfly.

BECCA Butter Balm is a brand new product; a rich, luxurious lip balm with SPF20 to protect lips. Perfect for those summer music festivals.

Here’s how they pull it all together. Model is wearing:

CHEEKS

* Using Créme Blush/Bronzer Brush #34, blend Lip & Cheek Crème in Bougainvillea from the Halcyon Days Palette onto the round part of the cheek and sweep upwards, towards the temples.
* Next, lightly sweep Mineral Blush in Flowerchild over Lip & Cheek Créme in Bougainvillea using Small Polishing Brush #56.
* Contour the darker side of the Mineral Bronzer/Illuminator in Serrana underneath the cheekbone and highlight the high part of the cheeks and bridge of the nose with the lighter side using Medium Polishing Brush #57.

EYES

* Apply Eye Colour Powder in Muslin from the Halcyon Days Palette as a base from lash line to brow bone using Eye Colour Wash Brush #36.
* Using Eye Colour Blender Brush #35, apply Eye Colour Powder in Faille from the Halcyon Days Palette over the entire lid, from the lash line to just above the brow bone.
* Using Blending Brush #66, apply Eye Colour Powder in Chamois into the socket line and blend slightly outward past the crease of the eye.
* Apply Eye Colour Powder in Muslin onto the center of the lid for a highlight.
* With soft feathery strokes, line the upper and lower lash-line with Automatic Eye Pencil in Goa.
* Intensity the outer edges by adding Automatic Eye Pencil in Majorca and smudge using the opposite end of the pencil.
* For additional smolder, blend Eye Colour Powder in Chamois into the lower lash line.
* Coat top and bottom lashes with two coats of The Ultimate Mascara in Black.

LIPS

* Dab Beach Tint in Guava onto lips, then add Lip Gloss in Mai Tai from the Halcyon Days Palette onto the middle of the lower lip to highlight.
