I'm loving this Spring in Madrid. It has been more chilly and rainy, but I couldn't be more happy. I'm a weirdo and I feel great after a thunderstorm when the air is damp, clean and fresh. The bad thing is that my skin looks like alabaster, because the sun hasn't shined enough to have a desirable and healthy tanned look. I'm always excited about trying and discovering new beauty products and for this particular transitional period I have found the perfect pick me up makeup to minimize dull skin and bring light and color to a wintry face.
First of all, the base. Laura Mercier knows how to formulate makeup and she has created one of the best tinted moisturizers available in the market. I have been using the classic one for years and a few months ago I was tempted to change and try the Illuminating Version. This base is amazing, I use it as my first step in my morning skincare routine. It's very easy to apply because the only tool that you need is your fingers. It blends nicely and easily on your face and provides you a medium SPF of 20. The finish on the skin is beautiful and luminous. It adds a hint of natural colour to your face with a touch of flattering shimmer. This product is great in the mornings when you don't have time to put many products (moisturizer, spf, primer, foundation and liquid highlighter), because it does everything in one.
Another discovery has been this YSL lipstick in the shade 17 Rose Dahlia. It looks so amazing! I have a lot of compliments when I wear it. The thing is, this lipstick gives light and color to your face. It makes it look more awake and alive if that makes sense. It's the perfect combination of Red, Pink and Orange. Sometimes red is too bold, pink is too dolly and orange, well...too colorful. The formula is very moisturizing and has a shiny finish. What a joyful and pretty lip product, I could not recommend it more!

I'm a sucker for everything 70's related and that's why I bought the By Terry Sun Designer Palette n°6 Happy Sun. It has a combination of powders designed like the iconic vintage Missoni fabric.
This artistic and beautiful palette comes with three bronzers (chocolate, peach and terracotta) that have a matte silky finish. The right part has three shades of highlighters (champagne, bronze and copper) that can be mixed up or applied separately.
Last, but not least, I put on my cheeks Natural Glow Butter Blush by Physicians Formula.
During this time of the year and in Summer I prefer to choose nude blushers, because I want to focus all the attention on the bronzy glowy idea of complexion. This is a very sheer shimmering product that gives a hint of pink to your cheeks. It's very natural, so if you want more intensity you have to reapply it several times until you get the desired pigmentation. Enriched with Murmuru Butter, this smooth blush smells like a beach paradise full of coconuts.
