Bright Beauty for Spring

These are three fresh spring makeup ideas to give a try featured in this month’s Seventeen Magazine. While if worn all at once you would end up looking less chic and more like a clown, on their own these trends are sure to lead to head turning makeup perfect for warmer weather.

Bright Orange Lips:
This season poppy lip color is all the rage. A hint of citrus in a shade of lip gloss will bring out the peach tones in anyone’s skin and give them a sunny glow. To go all out in trying this trend follow these three simple steps. First fill in your lips lightly with a shade of coral lip liner, this will make your lipstick stay longer. Next use a lip brush to apply the color and give you more control in the application, because these striking shades will show every little slip or mistake. To really pull this look together and make your lips appear fuller put a dab of clear orange gloss just on the center of your lips. Be cautious when trying this look to find the right shade for your skin tone and not go over board.

Striking Green Eyes:
A refreshing shade of a lime or electric green eye shadow can work for any skin tone and make any color eyes sparkle. While this look can be stunning it can easily go wrong, but again this trend can be completed in three simple steps. First apply a shimmering white eyeliner to the inside corners of your eyes to open them up and make them appear wider. Next use a tapered shadow brush along both the top and bottom of the eye along the lash line. Keep in mind that less can sometimes be more, and if will be easy to add more shadow on then remove too much. For extra glitz and glamour use a shimery green liquid liner on your top eyelids.

Rosy Pink Cheeks:
When correctly applied a pink cheek for spring will make you look like you are glowing from the inside out. To make this look last all day first smooth on a thin layer of pink cream blush right onto the apples of your cheeks to act as a base. Then use a large powder blush to add an even streak free layer of color from your cheek bones all the way up to the temples. To set in this sunny look take a small amount of a sheer and light petal colored highlighter to the top of the cheekbones to give your skin a fresh and dewy finish.
