Make-up trends this season offer something for everyone from soft and natural to bold and bright. With a huge spectrum of fabulous shades on offer for lips, eyes and nails, it'll be hard to resist catching the spring fever...

Eyes are either smokey or coloured this season and Bobbi Brown has cleverly captured both looks with one palette. The Peony and Python palette has 6 shades in soft lilacs and smokey greys and the gorgeous case is designed by New York fashion label Tibi.
