While bursts of colour have been spotted on the catwalks, make-up for spring is light and fresh. The focus is on the eyes, which are shaded in neutral tones such as brown and nude or, for extra glamour, metallic gold or silver. Shimmer this season in these latest shades.

2. Benefit's Creaseless Cream eye shadow (HK$180) is perfect for girls on the go and doubles as a liner.
