1. Soft Pastel Eyeshadow
Now, for spring eyeshadow soft pastel shades make for a fresh and feminine face that reflects the softness of the season. Begin by priming your lids so the colors remain bright throughout the day. Opt for pastel shades such as lavender, mint green, baby blue or a pretty soft pink and use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to sweep across your lids. Mix the colors well to get the gradient color effect.
Apply a darker color in the crease and blend well for 3d effect. Add a white or champagne glitter shade to the corner of your eyes and brow bone to brighten your eyes. Complete with a swipe of mascara and a nude or pastel lip for a polished spring feeling. Light pastel eye shadow is great for day events, garden high-teas or light brunches!
2. Glowing Skin with Dewy Foundation
Glowing, fresh skin is a spring essential — and onset to any spring trend for this season. Start by prepping your skin with a nourishing primer to smooth over your base. To show off your skin, choose a lightweight, natural-finish foundation with a sheer to medium coverage. Smooth it on using a damp beauty sponge for that flawless finish.
Cover any blemishes or dark circles with a cream concealer, and set the base with a swipe of translucent powder.
Just a dab of cream highlighter on your face’s high points — cheekbones, brow bones, down the bridge of your nose — will take the glow up a tick. Complete with a hydrating setting spray to set the dewy finish. And, radiant skin matches for any spring events, from casual wear to formal party.
3. Bold Pop of Color on Lips
A pop of color on the lips is a fun and colorful way to welcome spring. Go for bright colors such as coral, fuchsia or orange, and put them on using a lip brush to get a more precise application. Begin by lining your lips with a matching lip liner to help define the shape and avoid any feathering. Apply the bright lipstick to your lips, then mute the tone with a tissue.
For a more over the top look, either top-off your lips with a glossy lip balm or with a clear gloss to make your lips glisten. Wear the rest of your makeup minimal to let your lips be the showpiece. A pop of color on the lips is just what anyone needs to upgrade the old wardrobe for spring, whether you’re going to a fab party or for a laidback cocktail night.
4. Colorful Eyeliner
Bright eyeliner is a fun and on-trend look for spring. Trade in your black standby for bold hues, such as turquoise, purple and emerald green. To get started, prime your eyes to keep the liner from fading. Swipe a liquid or gel liner to either flick a sharp wing or draw a thick line from corner to corner on your lash line.
For a more understated appearance, swipe the colorful liner under the lower lashes or into the waterline. Wear this look with light eye-shadow and a light coat of mascara to let your liner pop! A colorful eyeliner is great for an added pop of fun to your spring makeup look.
