New season's number 1 beauty rule: experiment with colour

Take your makeup cue from the runway and play around with pink, red, blue and yellow hues this spring

PINK! PINK! PINK!
The show: Wunderkind
Pink took a more minimalist approach this season as the once-loud use of the shade became a subtle addition to fresh, bare skin. Keeping the pink super-saturated, it ran along lash lines, water lines or precisely on the lips.

The show: KENZO
With inspiration from the '80s and influences from Asia, the designer shows revealed a new fascination with red.
Taking a cue from traditional geisha beauty, red was no longer reserved for lips but became popular as a diffused flush on cheeks, temples and eyes.
