What to keep, replace and upgrade for a fresh routine

Spring is the perfect time to reset your makeup bag. Not just clearing out what is old, but refining your routine, upgrading essentials and rebuilding a collection that truly works for you.
A seasonal refresh helps improve how your makeup performs, keeps skin looking fresh and makes everyday routines quicker and easier. Think of it as a routine reset. Keep what works, replace what has expired and upgrade the products and tools you use daily.
What to keep
Start by keeping the products you genuinely use and rely on. These are the everyday essentials that form the foundation of your routine. A fresh base, soft eye definition and natural colour that you reach for again and again.
Hydrating skin prep like Hydra Peptide Fusion SPF 30 Moisturiser is always worth keeping. It smooths the skin and helps makeup sit better throughout the day. Lightweight complexion products such as Skin repair Perfect Canvas Treatment Foundation SPF 30 are also core staples, creating fresh coverage that still looks like skin.
Soft glow enhancers like Skin Lift Glow-plexion help bring dimension back to the complexion, making them ideal everyday essentials. Multitasking products also earn their place. Wake Up & Glow Lip & Cheek Tint in Tearose works across lips and cheeks, simplifying your routine whilst keeping the finish cohesive.
If a product still blends beautifully, smells fresh and delivers the result you want, it earns its place in your refreshed makeup bag.
What to replace
Spring cleaning is also about letting go of products that are past their best. Expired makeup can affect performance, sit poorly on the skin and in some cases irritate the eyes or lips.
As a general rule of thumb:
Mascara should be replaced every three to six months. If the formula starts to dry out, clump or smell different, it is time to refresh. The Studio10 6 in 1 Perfect Lash Mascara is designed to define, lengthen, thicken, volumise, hydrate and condition in one step. The dual ended brush works deep into the root to lift lashes, while the fine comb separates even the shortest lashes for clean definition. This makes it an ideal refresh when spring cleaning your makeup bag.
Cream eyeliners and kajal liners should be replaced every six to twelve months. If they begin to drag along the lash line or lose intensity, it is time to replace with a fresh I Lift Longwear Kajal Eyeliner for soft lash line definition.
Liquid and cream complexion products such as foundation should be replaced every twelve months. If the texture separates or no longer blends seamlessly, refresh with Skin Repair Perfect Canvas Treatment Foundation SPF 30.
Lip products should be refreshed every twelve months. If texture changes or colour becomes uneven, replace with a fresh Wake Up & Glow Lip & Cheek Tint in Tearose or your everyday lip staple.
Powder products can last longer, but if they become dry, hard or difficult to blend, they may no longer deliver the smooth finish you expect.
A good spring clean ensures everything in your makeup bag performs at its best.
What to upgrade
Once you have cleared out expired products, it is time to upgrade the items you use every day. This is where small changes can make the biggest difference.
Upgrade your brushes
Tools are just as important as the makeup itself. Good brushes help products blend better, look more natural and last longer on the skin.
Using a quality brush improves how cream and complexion products melt into the skin. The Double Ended Foundation Brush helps diffuse colour seamlessly, giving you more control and a softer finish. Upgrading your brushes can instantly improve your entire routine.
Upgrade your everyday essentials
Spring is also the perfect time to refine your core routine. Hydrated skin, lightweight coverage and soft definition create a fresh seasonal look.
A refreshed everyday routine could include
- Hydra Peptide Fusion SPF 30 for hydration and treatment
- Skin Repair Perfect Canvas Treatment Foundation SPF 30 for fresh coverage
- Skin Lift Glow-plexion for lit from within radiance
- I Lift Longwear Kajal Eyeliner for subtle lash definition
- 6 in 1 Perfect Lash Mascara for lifted, defined lashes
- Wake Up & Glow Lip & Cheek Tint in Tearose for natural colour
These essentials create a complete modern everyday routine.
