PRO TIP: SKIN Andie Markoe-Byrne is a professional makeup artist, advocate for beauty diversity and represented by Bryan Bantry GO FOR MATTE LIPS – Bring some color to your face with a matte lip. MAC Ruby Woo and NARS Heat Wave are gorgeous and provide a fabulous punch of colour. BRIGHTEN UP! – It’s always nice to go lighter for spring, and it helps brighten your complexion! And, as we all know, a new shade is the ultimate pick-me-up. HAIR PROTECT YOUR HAIR – Protecting your hair from sun damage is just as important as protecting your skin, so be sure to use a sun- protectant spray, like Kérastase Soleil. WEAR SUN- SCREEN – Don’t forget about your SPF! We’re sure you’re plan- ning to spend some time out- doors this spring, so protect your face and neck with a good SPF (45 or above is ideal). La Roche- Posay has an amazing suncare line that goes all the way up to SPF 100. 24   MUSCLE MEMORY Wash your face before you exercise."I go to the gym before work every morning—well, most mornings—and I always give my skin a good rinse with my Clinique cleanser before getting started. Washing my face before ensures that my pores won’t get clogged from a gross sweat-dirt-oil mix while I’m working out. I have oily, acne- prone skin to begin with, and I noticed that I was way less prone to post-exercise breakouts after I started doing an extra wash beforehand." GET BEACHY HAIR – Beach hair is always trending for spring. Après Beach by Oribe is a go-to beauty secret. Just spray it in your hair when it’s wet or dry, and tousle it with a blow dryer until you achieve that coveted beach babe summer look. A change in season is the perfect time to revisit your beauty cabinet, toss the products you don’t need or use, and make space for ones that will bring out the best in you and give you the spring/summer glow that your skin needs. This spring, less is definitely more. It’s time to tone down your makeup, let your natural complexion shine through, and embrace carefree, healthy hair! Makeup guru, Andie Markoe-Byrne, tells us all about the spring beauty buzz and her favor- ite products and tips to refresh—and simplify—your beauty routine for the warm weather.  LIGHTEN UP YOUR MAKEUP – Andie recommends going easy on your founda- tion and chill out on your powder. Cream blushes and eye shad- ows are great ways to lighten up makeup for spring, and they flatter everyone. | APRIL/MAY 2018
