As we wave goodbye to the cooler months, it’s time to pack away last season’s shades in favour of new bouquets of colour.

Luckily, the beauty industry is equipped with a steady flow of new launches and this season, it’s all about make-up palettes.

Spring’s fresh crop of compacts include lip, cheek, eye and all-in-one multitaskers ready to add to your new season beauty wish-list.

Right now, we’re all about youthful, flushed cheeks and there are two palettes that we can’t wait to get our hands on.

You’ll be glad to hear that Benefit has collated its iconic collection of bronzers and blushers into one limited edition cheek palette that includes old favourites such as Hoola and Dandelion as well as the new Hoola Lite and Galifornia golden pink blush.

Nars is also serving up its own take with a set that includes six shades to sculpt, shape and glow including Conquest, Fame, Hot Sand and Power Play.

If you’re a highlighter fan though, keep hold of your cash until the middle of the month because Huda Beauty is releasing its lauded 3D Highlighter Palette that includes four super-pigmented cream formulas that promise to take your glow to the next level.

If it’s an eyeshadow palette you’re after then you’re in luck because there are plenty of launches that run the gamut of neutral nudes to bold hues.

For a subtle ‘no make-up’ make-up look, By Terry’s Techno Aura Palette should be your go-to.

But for something a little brighter try Too Faced’s Sweet Peach offering which includes 18 summer-fresh, sweet peach fragranced shades.
