Mariam shares her current faves for a spring beauty refresh. Uplift your routine with these delightful essentials, from the nail polish colour of the season to the everyday products she can’t be without.
01 — MANUCURIST GREEN FLASH ROSE MOUNTBATTEN 15 ML, $26
“I call this ‘the new greige.’ It’s a greyed-out rose colour that is super complementary to my skin tone.”
02 — WONDERBLUSH LA LUMIERE LIQUID EYESHADOW IN RAYON 5.5 ML, $32
“There’s this outdated idea that you shouldn’t use shimmer if you’re over a certain age. This one doesn’t settle into lines and adds a nice pop. One little dab on the eyelid and you just blend it out for a soft sparkle that looks great on any age.”
Pro tip: Get the perfect, complete eye look using just three shades of La Lumiere. First, apply a mid-range colour all over your eyelids before adding a darker hue to the crease and a lighter shade just below your brow line. Or, dip an eyeliner brush into the liquid eyeshadow and apply a thin line along your top lash line in place of eyeliner for an easy-to-wear finish.
03 — MARGARET DABBS FOOT HYGIENE CREAM 100 ML, $44
“Amazing for cracked heels. I apply it in the mornings before I put on my socks.”
04 — WONDERBLUSH LE FARD BLUSH IN PIVOINE 4.8 G, $36
“This is a great blush. It’s a complementary matte colour that’s not too much, not too little.” Pro tip: For a sun- kissed look, apply blush to your cheeks then sweep what’s leftover on the brush over the tip of your nose.
05 — BIOLOGIQUE RECHERCHE SERUM COMPLEXE ROYAL 30 ML, $222
“Forget whatever was used backstage at the Margiela show. This is the ultimate glowy finish for the skin.”
06 — CODEX LABS BIA GENTLE CLEANSING OIL 30 ML, $33
“I like this because you can use it on your eyes to remove makeup and
it doesn’t feel like you’re looking through a veil of Vaseline afterwards.”
07 — OLVERUM THE DRY BODY OIL 10 ML, $18
“I take the travel size with me everywhere. It absorbs instantly, it works in multiple climates and it has this uplifting herbaceous smell I’m obsessed with.”
