Get Cheeky
You will be completely smitten with Yves Saint Laurent’s genius Crème Blush in Fuchsia Temptation, $38. It goes on like a second skin the way only a cream formula can, but then dries to a powdery (not greasy) velvet finish.
Mango Lips
Imagine biting into the ripe flesh of a juicy mango. That fruity shade is exactly what you want on your lips this spring. Surprisingly, the color is pretty on all skin tones and looks best paired with gold shadow and bronzed cheeks. Try Milani’s “Mandarina” or “Mango Mambo” for just $5. Perfect for a test run.
Green is the New Black
Teal and green are dominating the runways this spring. Try using a more opaque version of teal and green shadow as eyeliner for a perfect way to spice up your everyday look. Ground the color with black mascara to really give your peepers a pop. NYC New York Color City Duet Eye Shadows in Bowling Green, $2.99 PRO TIP: To get the most pigment out of your shadow, apply it with a wet brush.
Orchid Pink Lipstick
Pink is not precious at all this spring. Richly pigmented shades with a healthy dose of purple add a little twist to this hue. Going with a cream looks more sophisticated than a gloss … and don’t forget to pair it with nothing but black mascara and eyeliner. MAC Lipstick in Show Orchid, $14.50
Make Waves
Spring is all about lacquering up with nail art. What better way to express yourself than with a brighter-than-usual color such as Sephora by O.P.I nail lacquer in Slushied, $9.50. There’s no need to duck from this opaque turquoise blue.
