Hot on the high street: New make-up palettes for spring
Which one will you add to your new season beauty wish-list?
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.As we wave goodbye to the cooler months, it’s time to pack away last season’s shades in favour of new bouquets of colour.
Luckily, the beauty industry is equipped with a steady flow of new launches and this season, it’s all about make-up palettes.
Spring’s fresh crop of compacts include lip, cheek, eye and all-in-one multitaskers ready to add to your new season beauty wish-list.
Right now, we’re all about youthful, flushed cheeks and there are two palettes that we can’t wait to get our hands on.
You’ll be glad to hear that Benefit has collated its iconic collection of bronzers and blushers into one limited edition cheek palette that includes old favourites such as Hoola and Dandelion as well as the new Hoola Lite and Galifornia golden pink blush.
Nars is also serving up its own take with a set that includes six shades to sculpt, shape and glow including Conquest, Fame, Hot Sand and Power Play.
If you’re a highlighter fan though, keep hold of your cash until the middle of the month because Huda Beauty is releasing its lauded 3D Highlighter Palette that includes four super-pigmented cream formulas that promise to take your glow to the next level.
If it’s an eyeshadow palette you’re after then you’re in luck because there are plenty of launches that run the gamut of neutral nudes to bold hues.
For a subtle ‘no make-up’ make-up look, By Terry’s Techno Aura Palette should be your go-to.
But for something a little brighter try Too Faced’s Sweet Peach offering which includes 18 summer-fresh, sweet peach fragranced shades.
Alternatively, Clarins’ 4-Colour Eyeshadow Palette, launching 9 April, offers similar sunkissed shades in a more travel-friendly compact.
When it comes to colouring your pout, lip palettes are on the up and our favourite is Pixi’s It’s Lip Time. A collection of 12 super-flattering crèmes from rosy nudes to claret red, it has every colour you need to create the perfect spring look.
