If you prefer your makeup to look very soft and natural, or just want a dialed-back version of last week's post, here I've pulled out some of my favorite old friends to create a soft, sweet look that is fresh and beautiful for spring. Bonus: it takes just five minutes!

1. From the Sweet Spot PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple, apply the creamy shade to the entire eyelid, lashes to brow, using the Deluxe Shader Brush. Be sure to work some of it into the inner corner of the eyes to give a bright, wide-eyed look.
2. With the same brush, press the peach shade to the lid, blending up into and above the crease.
3. Using the Crease Brush, dot the chocolate shade carefully into into the crease, blending up. Keep the dark shade in the crease leaving the outer corner of the eyelid light.
4. Moisten the Detail Brush and use it to line the upper lash with the chocolate shade. 
5. Finish the eyes with Longest Lash Mascara in Espresso to give them a feathery-soft look.
6. To get a fresh, windy-day flush, use the Dome Brush to apply plenty of Whisper PurePressed Blush to the cheeks. Don't be shy here! Smile to see the apples of your cheeks, then pop the color straight on them. Blend in a circular motion to cover the whole cheek. The intention is to look very bright and rosy here, so if you have more natural color in your cheeks than you like, you may want to tone this step down a bit. 
7. The bright pink lip is such a beautiful trend this year, I had to include it. It looks so flattering and youthful. Sugar Plum PureGloss is a great choice, applied straight to the lips. 

Where will you wear this pretty look... first date, brunch, weekend matinee?
