Spring/Summer Makeup Trends

So just like fashion makeup trends change very quickly. Makeup can help make an outfit, so keeping up with the latest makeup trends can always give you a boost. It is also a easy and quick way of looking different throughout the week, or occasions.


Bold Lips 
Lip color can really make you stand out from the crowd. For a sexy lip try red, orange or even a hot pink in a matte finish. Keep the rest of the makeup simple and flawless. You should try and emphasize your eyelashes, so try a black colored mascara. For a evening look add black liner on the top. 

TIP: When applying bold lipstick, use a lip liner first this will keep the lipstick in place and will prevent it from bleeding. Also, in order to get the color  closest to what you see in the case, apply foundation on your lips, then the lip liner. By applying foundation on you lips you will be able to get almost the exact color of the lipstick. Otherwise, when you apply it will look different because of the color of your lips. (this works with any lipstick)



Natural Makeup
The natural look is always a trend that we see over and over in the fashion shows. The idea is to wear makeup yet look as if you have very little on, keeping a very natural look. To create such a look you will use concealer and foundation. A very small amount of blush, apply mascara and a natural looking lipstick. If you want you can also add neutral eyeshadows just to brighten your eyes a bit. 




Matte Bronzer 
So for a golden glow this spring matte is the trend. For this look you will need a bronzer powder and lightly apply it (look at the Bronzer post for tips on how to apply it). Use a big fluffy brush to prevent any harsh lines. 


Until Next time,
