Pastels for spring

Bring me sunshine: our roundup of the best new pastel shades.
Bring me sunshine: our roundup of the best new pastel shades.

At the time of writing the sky is blue and there is a feeling that winter might one day end. Daffodils are for sale in Tesco, though not yet on special offer. Yesterday I saw a crocus. Spring is almost here, and with it comes the make-up to match. Pastels, as seen at Dior, speak of blooming gardens and leafy parks. Bring on the sunshine with flowery nails, delicate eye shadow and palettes that trick you into turning the heating off.
