In the wake of our ever-so-inspiring Eco Fashion Week event in Vancouver, we were excited by the idea of featuring Spring’s most popular makeup trends for our eco-fashionistas using SANTE Naturkosmetik line. We loved the results of this all-natural German line, and we hope our friends at the forefront of the eco-makeup movement are as excited about it as we are!

Bronzed Look (above, left)

Skin: SANTE Compact Powder No.01, used generously for a matte finish.

Cheeks: SANTE Rouge No.1, to create a natural sun-kissed look.

Eyes: SANTE Eye Shadow Trio No. 05, using the pearl colour as a base, and SANTE rouge No.1 used in the crease, creating a monochromatic look with the cheek colour.

SANTE Lipstick No. 11, used for a natural looking, but creamy lip.

Bright Eyes (above, right)

Skin: SANTE Compact Powder No.01, used sparingly for a soft finish.

Eyes: SANTE Lip Duo Contour & Gloss No.03. Lip colour used on the eyes was a bold choice for colour, but a safe choice for eye makeup, as it is all-natural! Finished off the eyes with SANTE Mascara Volume.

Lips: SANTE Lipstick No.11, to keep the lips understated, giving the eyes the stage.

Bold Lips

Skin: SANTE Compact Powder No.01

Cheeks: SANTE Rouge No. 01 was used to contour the cheeks, while the Eye Shadow Trio No. 05 (pearl coluor) was used as a highlight on the top of the cheekbones.

Lips: SANTE Lip Duo Contour & Gloss No. 03, using both ends to create a bold colour and glossy finish.

Eyes: Eye Shadow Trio No. 05, in bold blue tones to compliment the season, and an extra coat of mascara to add a volumized, dramatic flair.

With such bright exciting makeup trends to look forward to, and knowing that we can achieve them with truly safe cosmetics, Spring 2011 is going to be a very festive season for makeup, indeed!
