Spring is here. Well, it came and went away again didn't it? But we have it on good authority that it's set to return this weekend.

And, with a dose of hazy spring sunshine and blossom-laden trees, comes a whole new glossary of make-up trends to get our beauty-addled heads around. But to try and absorb the whole lot in one fat, make-uppy chunk would be cosmetic overkill. So, like with our wardrobes, we've edited down 20 of the quickest, transitional micro make-up trends to help you segue seamlessly from winter's matte skin and statement rouge noir lips into something decidedly softer.

It's the equivalent of switching up your dark woolly knits for a pastel sweatshirt. But, it's not all about colour. Some of the smartest spring updates are about application, the where and how this season is as important as that what. Ditto brow shapes, make-up textures and the all-important finish for skin (clue: matte is dead).

So, without further a do, click through the gallery above for 20 of the smartest spring make-up updates that take two minutes (or less) to put into effect.
