An Expert's Guide to Spring Beauty
Like a new season calls for a new wardrobe, so too does the arrival of Spring call for a switch up in your makeup bag. To outfit our kits, we tapped longtime TSG Fort Worth member, Ashley McNabb of the eponymous — and highly sought-after — Ashley McNabb Artistry.
In preparation for a season of weddings, events, and vacations, Ashley shares her current favorite Spring products alongside tidbits of expertise earned over her decades of being a top makeup artist.
Come Spring, I like to lighten up products and colors to let skin shine. It’s a very “Clean Girl Aesthetic” approach. Of course there’s a time and place for dramatic, smoky looks, but my clients consistently seek me out for a no-make-up-make-up look that hinges on a radiant, blush glow. The products I’m turning to in order to achieve my signature look are travel-friendly and vacation-ready – perfect for the girl-on-the-go! I love the simplicity of products you can apply with your fingertips.
- LES BEIGES by CHANEL // A sheer, healthy glow highlighting fluid.
- BEAUTIFUL SKIN ISLAND GLOW EASY TANNING DROPS by CHARLOTTE TILBURY // For a post-vacation, no-vacation-required glow.
- SUPER SERUM SKIN TINT SPF 40 by ILIA // A hardworking, clean-beauty skin tint with all the shades.
- LE STYLO ULTRASLIM by CHANTECAILLE // In shade “Brown.”
