5 Spring Beauty Trends


Hello Fashionistas!!!  Today I want to let you on 5 spring beauty trends!!  You will find from orange lips to luminous skin.

  •       Orange Lips – Like I mention in a previous post orange lips is SO IN for this season.  It may be a bold color for a lot of people but you need to think of it as a citrus hue or as classic red’s cool younger sister.  This shade is vibrant, playful and perfect for the warmer months that are to come.  You can find it in various brands such as Revlon , Dior, Maybelline, Sephora and even Elizabeth Arden.  How to know your perfect shade??? Well according to beauty experts there are no rules.  Orange makes such a statement that you an basically pull of whatever and whichever you want.  When wearing an orange lipstick remember to balance your lips and eyes wearing shadows and liners that are in the neutral side this way your eyes wont compete with your awesome lip color. (Please check out my previous posting A Little Pop of Orange)














 

  •        White nails In case you don’t know white is a neutral.  From opalescent to true white is cool, modern and flatters every skin tone.  When choosing your “white” keep in mind that true white is eye-catching, while pinkish white is more understated and chic.  Add some sparkle for a night out.

      












  • Messy hair – Perfect straight hair is “passé”! Right now, it’s all about texture that’s loose, wavy and undone.  In order to get this look the trick is prep prep prep.  Get a product fro straight or wavy hair; use a texture-enhancing spray on damp strands of hair.  If you hair is curly, control the frizz by applying a smoothing cream to wet hair.  No w to get the natural effect, SKIP THE BRUSH, create a part with your fingers and blow dry with a hair diffuser until its 75% dry, then let it air dry!



















  •      Blue eye make up – YES you read right, BLUE! From teal to cobalt and sea foam, all the blue and aquatic inspired shadows and liners feel fun and flirty and a good thing Is they make any eye color stand out.  If you are not a fan of blue eye shadow you can get the look in an easy way and easy to wear way. Simply use eyeliner. Bright colors like teal are great when applied on the bottom lash line only.  Also on thing to know it’s that darker shades like sapphire can even be a substitute for black on both top and bottom.  One of my faves teal eyeliner is from the brand Jordana and of course the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On eye pencil in Deep end. 
  •       Luminous Skin – this season calls fro glow. A glowing complexion is the perfect complement to every makeup trend this season.  When trying to achieve a luminous look, always PREP your skin, the smoother your skin looks the brighter it will appear, so exfoliate your skin first and then follow with a luminizing primer to minimize pores and create a “shine from within” kind of look. For me the best way to achieve this without making your face look “caky” or even greasy is mixing an illuminating tinted moisturizer or a simple illuminator with your regular foundation or bb cream.  The fact that you took the time to blend them both and then putting them in your face, will make the your face glow in a natural way.  For an extra glow you can go ahead and use powder or liquid highlighter an use on your nose, on top of your eyebrows, cheeks and cupid bow.
