Yayayayay, it is ridiculously beautiful here in Houston... The flowers are starting to come out, and on my run this morning, I actually stopped to smell them (in reality I was just tired, but onlookers wouldn't have known that). This Springyness has resulted in a million makeup ideas rolling through my head. Spring time reminds me of fresh, new, light, earthy, colourful... And in terms of makeup, the exact same thoughts apply.
For the eyes: Light lavenders, blended with soft browns and golds; deep auburns, brightened with copper and champagne highlights; soft greens, complemented with rich neutrals. The skin is all about adding a healthy glow; a dewy finish, with strategic highlighting to reveal a softer, more radiant look. And the lips.... from bright red, to soft pink, playful colours and glossy finishes will complete your springtime look!
I have the lovely Leigh acting as my model today as I reveal one of my Spring inspired makeup tutorials... I'm so excited to post it! Give me a few hours and it'll be ready for your viewing pleasure. In the meantime, add a little highlighter to your cheekbones, some glossy colour to your lips, and a take a shot of something... tequila always brings out the flush in my face :) tehe

I tried the light lavender idea- is lilac the same? Anyway, its a lilac eyeshadow by bobbi brown with AMAZING pigment and staying power, and its nice and light in appearance. I blended it with bobbi brown eyeshadow in blond (its a soft brown really- also good for eyebrow blending) and highlighted it with some light gold MAC eyeshadow (dunno the color!)
ReplyDeleteIt is such a romantic look- feeling pretty girly :D
