nail glitter polishes, and be sure to follow up with a top coat to keep your glitter mani intact as long as possible!
THE TREND: EYES ON BLUE
Speaking of eyes, if you’re going to skip the
glitter, you absolutely should be headed to
pick up the closest shade of blue eyeshadow
or liner available. If there is one shade to be
named color of the spring, it would be any and
every shade of blue. From sheer washes of pastel blue to cobalt blue liner smeared across the
water line, blue eyes will be front and center
this spring.
How to Rock it: You don’t want to miss out on
this trend, that’s for sure, but blue eyeshadow
isn’t exactly the easiest color to pull off. If this
is your first dabble into the world of blue start
off with a simple gel liner, lightly swept across
your lid to get comfortable with the color. Try
a few different shades to find the blue that best
compliments your complexion and work your
way up from liner to inner corners of the eye, to packing the color onto the lid. Try the Maybelline Master Drama
Eyeliner for your first go round and before you know it, you’ll be able to rock the Nars Eye Paint in no time!
THE TREND: KEEP IT GLOSSY
Each spring it seems like dewy skin is on the trend list, which is
totally understandable. Coming off a few months of notoriously
drying weather, it feels good to embrace skin that looks and feels
fresh. This season, the glossy appeal of dewy skin is applied to lips
and hair as well. Essentially this beauty trend is all about that fresh
faced, straight out of the gym look. Carefully executed of course.
How to Rock It: For hair, keeping it glossy means spending some
extra time and using a few additional products to achieve the silkiest
tresses. Take time to carefully blow out your hair using a product
like the Bumble and Bumble Invisible Oil Primer to promote frizz
free shiny hair. Try a heavy serum like Garnier Fructis Miracle Oils
to give your strands an extra boost of shine and gloss on days where
hair may look a bit lackluster or dull. For skin, think beyond just
skipping the foundation, and look for ways to add bursts of shine.
Add translucent products like vaseline to cheekbones, lips, or eyelids for a perfect touch of gloss that doesn’t look greasy.
THE TREND: ACCESSORIZED HAIR
Another major trend this season is hair accessories galore. On the runway,
we saw everything from crowns to jewels, headbands to hair ties. Hair
accessories are one of the best ways to finish off a dressed up date night
look or to add some glam to an otherwise simple outfit. Not to mention
they are perfect for camouflaging those not so great hair days.
How to Rock it: Have fun! With hair accessories, you can go basic to
full out diva in a matter of minutes. If you want to get in the full spirit
of spring, try wearing a flower crown to channel your inner free spirit.
Have a black tie event to attend one spring night? Try adding a jewel
toned comb to enhance your updo. You can even go super laid back with
a simple black wrap, styled to compliment your athleisure look of the day.
