Spring Make-Up
What are you wearing for Spring? Not just on your body, but on your face? You don’t want to be sporting your Winter look around town, it’s a little much for all the sunshine and warm weather. No one wants to see a heavy smoky eye during the day when you’re out among the tulips.
Think warm thoughts when you go shopping for a Spring makeup palette. Whip out your pinks, purples, {yes, sparkly purple eyeliner is h-o-t} and blues. Seriously, blues. There’s no need to whip out your Wet n’ Wild from High School, but blue eyeliner can really bring out a little va-va-voom in your blue eyes.
Go lighter with your nail polish too. Bright, bold colors are totally in right now and nail polish is a great way to go lighter with your style. You wouldn’t wear Orange on your face {I hope} but no one will blink if you put it on your toenails. And if they do, blink that is, they’re not girlfriends you want to be getting a pedicure with anyway.
This is my general makeup palette, but I wear light almost iridescent colors in the Spring and Summer. Keep it simple, light, and fresh now that the sun is finally coming out. Go a little crazy with color- banish the greys to the back corner of the closet with your Winter clothes, where they won’t see the light of day until Fall.
I have GOT to figure out how to wear lighter makeup without venturing into “Vegas Showgirl” territory. I've had this skin/hair for almost 31 years…you'd think I've have the hang of decorating it by now!
Erin, I am with you!! I've needed Ms. Allison's skills to decorate my face!! She's a keeper!
Decorating it, I love that! We're going to do a Sephora/MAC run and have a time you'll not soon forget!
I'm a keeper huh? What kills me is how many times we've traveled together and I've never done your makeup! What's up with that?
That's true, but you do inspire! Let's change that at EVO, it's on! Smokey eye, here I come.
