Why the trend is particularly suitable for early summer
In spring and early summer, when the heavy winter clothes are taken off and the first warm rays of sun warm the face, the make-up also becomes lighter and fresher. The Sugar Plum Fairy look, with its dewy skin and soft colors, captures this mood perfectly.
How to achieve the look
To recreate the Sugar Plum Fairy look, follow these steps:
A light foundation or BB cream serves as a base. Then generously apply highlighter to the highest points of the face to achieve a radiant and moist finish. Then the cheeks are highlighted with rosy blush. Shimmering eye shadow in pastel colors or glitter is applied to the entire eyelid for a fairytale look. Liquid eyeliner, voluminous mascara or fake lashes further emphasize the eye area. The make-up look is rounded off with a lip gloss or lipstick in a pink, berry or mauve tone. Finally, the Sugar Plum Fairy make-up can be perfected with elements such as small rhinestones or glitter accents. Why not add a little magic to everyday life?
