Brightly colored make-up is one of my favorite beauty trends for spring. The wide array of colors are wonderful for brightening up your face and making features pop.
The color of the year, Radiant Orchid, is being extensively used in make-up. Pantone even created a line of make-up for Sephora called "Sephora+Pantone Universe The Eye: Radiant Femme Artistry." It was inspired by the color of the year, with 25 shades formulated to compliment Radiant Orchid. Plum shades blend together well to create a summery take on the smokey eye. Truly make heads turn with a violet hued lip.
Blues and aquamarines are making their way back to the beauty scene this spring. To avoid looking like an 80's movie extra, don't cover the lid from browbone to lashes, instead sweep the color in selected areas. One of my favorite tricks is to use taupe shades on the eyelid and line the lower lashline with blue liner. One of the creamiest (and affordable!) eye liners I've used are the Stila Smudge Stick Eye Liners. Get lost in the depths of the ocean with a nautical smokey eye- utilize shades of blue and teal to create this sultry beauty look.
Emerald might no longer be the color of the year but it can be seen making a revival at make-up counters everywhere. I love a green nail polish! I used a hunter green for winter and I will transition into spring with olive and mint tones. The mint shade is an excellent compliment to numerous spring colors and is the perfect base for nail art.
Whether it be an ombre nail or a bold lip, raise your beauty standards this spring!
