Anyway! Down here in Houston, spring has already sprung. We have had a few incredibly beautiful days recently and I have seen white and pink trees springing up everywhere. It makes me happy so in light of those flowering trees I want to mention some spring makeup trends happening for 2012:
1. Mint Green. Don't scoff. The pictures below show a close up of some mint green and shows that a light, minty green (I would stay away from a lime green) can work on many different types of coloring. I have seen mint green successfully on myself (brown hair and eyes), blondes, brunettes, green eyes, blue eyes, brown eyes. It's a winner! So, try it this spring!
2. Lavender
Lavender is another color like mint green - it can work on almost anyone, ANYONE! The key with both of these colors is to start slowly. Start light and faint and work your way up. Also, a special note - brown eye, brown hair girls when you want to do color this should always be your default before anything else, it works for you!
3. Coral lips
I really like this one but coral is a finicky color. It can be difficult to find the right one and difficult to get used to yourself in it. I would suggest if you want to try it going to Sephora and talking with someone there and trying lots of corals before you buy. Coral lips I think are best matched with natural looking eyes.
4. And lastly, natural looking with a bit of glamour! I saw looks like the one below a lot on the MAC, NARS and fashion Spring launches. The key is a natural, lightly blushed face, natural color (almost nude or peach) lips and a bit of pop on the eyes with eye liner or mascara. Always fresh!
Have fun with those and enjoy spring! Also, I'm playing with the idea of a workshop for makeup - leave me some feedback! Have a great day!
