As we are greeted by the warm temperatures of spring, we must also say goodbye to thick layers of toner and best makeup and say hello to thin layers of toned cream which will make us look fresh and natural. The seasons' trademarks include coral red lips and natural-looking toners.
Eye makeup
Say farewell to excessive amounts of mascara, all it takes is a minimal amount. And while you're at it, change up the colors a bit. Play around with shades of dark blue, red or violet, which will lighten up your eyes and contribute to the fresh, spring look you are aiming at best makeup. Use violet if you have green or blue eyes, or something metallic if your eyes are brown. Also, don't even bother with fake eyelashes or eyeliners. Those can be put away until autumn.
If you think metallic eye-shaders are history, think again. They made a spectacular comeback this spring and have practically become a necessity. Sparkling, shiny metallic shades of green, gray, yellow and orange are the way to go here. For those, however, who can't warm themselves towards the trendy metallic eyeshadows, fear not. Pastel collors are more popular than ever and you're guaranteed to look gorgeous in combination with your colorful dresses. Rememeber, spring is all about FRESHNESS and COLOR. If you decide to emphasize your eyes, make sure you keep the rest of your face minimalistic. Don't apply a lot of color to your skin. It's about structure, not color for your best makeup. Where color does come into play are your eyes and lips. This is why you should also reconsider if you're planing on a tanned look and think about going for pale, porcelain like skin tones.
The most important thing here is minimalism. You never want to overdo things with thick layers of toner and creams. Less is more in the spring time. In light of this you should put away heavy toners and go with lighter applications of toned creams and such.
Another important thing is choosing your base correctly. If you don't know what base to use, look it up on the internet, since all types of skin require different types of toners and bases. The main goal to achieve here is to avoid the excessive shiny effect that can occur if products are being used the wrong way. The best types of base i recommend are mineral toners and creams which reduce skin shyniness and are also soothing for the skin.
The classics are making a comeback:
We're talking about lipstick, of course. The color of spring 2012 is the classical red. You can go for varieties which are a bit lighter and more playful perhaps, save the dark red ones for autumn. If you're not a fan of red, you can also use skin tones or light pink shades for a more easygoing look.
So, you now know everything you need to begin a stylish, up-to-date spring of 2012. Be sure to use light toners, metallic eyeshadows, minimal mascara and red lipstick tones.
