Makeup

Spring makeup trends are all about bright color. Bright colors are all we have seen for the latest makeup trends. This means we can be as creative as we wish with our makeup pallets this season! Pinks, yellows, blues and greens are the latest craze and they certainly brighten up any outfit. From Dior, to Huda Beauty makeup is bright and colorful. Aqua blues, mint greens, bright yellows and pastels are creating the most romantic looks we have seen in a long time.

You may wonder, can I actually pull off this look? The answer is absolutely yes! Anyone can play with color. No matter what age, skin tone or occasion. Color not only brings out your eyes, but is creates a more youthful look. Just remember the rule of thumb! If you go bright with your eyes, go subtle with your lips. Too much is certainly too much, and you do not want to over do it.

Some of our favorite Spring makeup picks include Dior Addict Mirror Shine Gloss 643 in Diablotine. This is a beautiful iridescent coral. The perfect way to add color to lips without over powering your eye makeup.

We also love Tom Ford Soleil Lip Balm in Cruising. This is a limited edition lip balm with a beautiful sheer pink tone. Great for Spring and summer. Keeps your lips moisturized and adds the perfect subtle hint of color.

To brighten up the eyes a great base color is Lancome Paris Ombre Hypnose Sparkling Color Tresor Glace. This is a beautiful golden, sheer color. The perfect base to layer yellow, greens or blues on.

Spring is a time to play with color! Don’t by shy and certainly do not hold back. Express your inner creativity and colorful personality with this season’s amazing color pallets.

Nothing says healthy more than a natural dewy glow. One of the biggest trends right now is a natural dewy flush. It is not only a sign of youth, but helps to brighten your entire face. You can easily create this effect with your favorite blush. This look can be achieved with both a cream or powder bush. All you need is a little vaseline and your favorite blush. We always recommend that you use a natural blush color. If you are fair skinned try a natural light pink or peach hue. For those with olive skin tones try either a bronze. If you have darker skin, you can try a deep pink hue. You want to create a natural flushed look, not a made up look. The attention should be on your entire face, not just your cheeks. Once you have your blush selected, remember to stick to the apples of the cheeks. Do not overdo it and add too much. Blush is meant to compliment your complexion and give you a boost of color. Once you have applied your blush, gently dab a little vaseline to the apples of your cheeks. Do this using your ring finger and gently tapping as you would apply your eye cream. The idea is to illuminate the cheeks and give them a natural glow. You will absolutely love the results. This is an easy hack to help get that perfect dewy glow that complete;y transforms your entire look.
