Win, and master blue this spring with these Canadian made cosmetics

This trend is as bold as it is beautiful

Spring is just around the corner, and with it comes the blossoming of fresh beauty trends ready to revitalize our look.

This year, we're diving into a trend that's as bold as it is beautiful: the resurgence of blue.

Toby, from 103.1 Beach Radio, had the pleasure of sitting down in the studio with Missy MacKintosh, the founder of MisMacK Clean Cosmetics, to discuss how to weave this vibrant trend into our spring makeup routines.

Here's what you need to know to make blue your hue this season:

1. Blue is the New Black

The biggest trend for spring is blue. But before you flash back to the bold and sometimes questionable makeup choices of the 1980s, hear us out.

This isn't about recreating past looks but about embracing blue in a modern, sophisticated way.

"Believe it or not," Missy says, "blue can be incredibly chic and contemporary."

2. Incorporating Blue for Every Age

Many might wonder how to adopt this trend without feeling like you're reliving your teenage years. Missy reassures that blue can be versatile and flattering for all ages.

"It's about finding the right shade and the right application technique," she explained

3. It's All About the Pop of Color

If the thought of wearing blue makeup seems daunting, Missy suggests starting small.

"A pop of color can be a great way to introduce blue into your makeup routine," she said.

This could be anything from a swipe of blue eyeliner to a hint of blue mascara. The key is to keep it subtle and build your confidence in playing with colour.

4. Techniques to Try

Missy is passionate about making makeup fun and approachable.

During her chat with Toby, she shared a few techniques to help integrate blue into your look without it feeling overwhelming.

Whether it's blending a soft wash of blue over the lids for a hint of color or using a bright blue liner for a striking effect, there's a technique for everyone.

5. Introducing MisMacK Clean Cosmetics

The perfect palette to help you embrace this trend? The perfect array of blue from MisMacK Clean Cosmetics.

This palette features a range of blues, from the ethereal "Sky Blue" to the deep and dramatic "Raven," or the bold "Blue Flower Power."

Not to mention, it includes "Moonstone," an amazing highlighter that complements the blues beautifully.

"It's about playing with color but also having the tools to do so in a flattering way," Missy notes.
