From the eccentric looks at Vivienne Westwood to the minimalist makeup at Chloe, many designers chose to showcase a rebirth in beauty this season by going blanc.
Of course, you're probably not wanting to stroll down the street with a layer of chalk across your face (as seen on the runway), but a soft touch of white can instantly illuminate your complexion and brighten your eyes. It's an extremely versatile color, and an easy one to incorporate into your Spring beauty wardrobe.
My favorite ways to white out:
Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Luna
Brush this sheer, stark-white powder across the top of your cheeks, above your brow bone, and (very lightly) in your cupid's bow for an angelic glow.
Yves Saint Laurent Ombre Solo Eyeshadow in Iceberg White
Perfect for highlighting, or providing a soft wash of white around the eyes.
Cargo Eyelighter Eyeshadow Pen in White
Use this dual-sided pen to brighten the eyes with the matte eyeshadow, and highlight the inner corners with the complimentary shimmer shadow.
M.A.C Cream Colour Base in Luna
This do-it-all product can be used on your eyes, lips, cheeks, and collarbones to achieve an icy, dewy finish.
Benefit Mr. Frosty
Simple and easy-to-use, this sparkling white pencil provides a playful pop of color around the eyes. Try it on the inside of your eyelids to widen/brighten in a flash.
