Trend #1: Bright Orange Lips

Orange lips have been a popular color during the warm weather for quite some time. Take this trend up a notch by going bolder and brighter than ever! It’s a great pop of color for the spring/summer as compared to the usual red lip.

This spring bring on the glow! Everyone loves healthy, glowing skin. Try the trend by mixing a bit of Pond’s Gold Radiance Day Cream into your foundation for a natural yet glowing complexion. For added shine, apply a powder highlighter on the cheekbones. You’ll be getting compliments all day!

Trend #3: Pops of Blue

Make your eyes a notable statement with bright blue eye shadow on the eyelids. Play with the trend to suit your personality by even placing pops of blue shadow under the eye or even bold blue liquid eyeliner paired with heavy mascara.

Trend #4: White Eyeliner

White was a happening color this past winter and continues into spring 2014. Dare to wear something different by adding some white to your makeup! Try replacing your usual black eyeliner with white! It’s a fun way to change up your look without being too drastic. Complete your look by pairing it with a hot pink lip color!

Trend #5: Bushy Brows

Overly shaped and even arched eyebrows are a trend of the past. This season it’s all about bushy brows. Bushy brows may not be for everyone, so instead change up the shape of your brow by keeping them square.

Radiant orchid is the color of the year for 2014! You’ll be seeing it from clothes to bags to coats. Adding orchid into your makeup bag is a must! Try the trend by applying some orchid eye shadow to your eyelids or a beautiful orchid shaded gloss. You will love it!

The Secret to Perfect Brows

Many consider the eyes to be the windows to someone’s soul, so it only makes sense that eyebrows are the window frames! Like any masterpiece, proper framing is imperative, which is why I’m sharing these tips on getting the perfect brows in a snap…

1. Pick your product. For a more natural, groomed look go with a gel, try MAC as they carry different shades of brow gels. To define your shape, opt for a pencil such as Bassam Fattouh’s, this has been my personal favorite for ages, it comes in only one shade though, but you can point the pencil when you want a visible mark and curve it when you want a subtle shade. If you’re after a softer, more natural fill try powder instead. Remember to brush the hair of the eyebrow. It’s always very beautiful to shade smoothly the beginning of the eyebrow and mark define the ending.

2. Choose the right color. It’s always recommended to pick a color that is three shades lighter than your hair color. Or if you’re blonde, two shades darker.

3. Use a spoolie. Regardless of the product you use, it’s important to always use a spoolie. Using one will blur the harsh markings—making your brows appear softer and more natural.

Stay gorgeous!
