Spring Has Sprung: Spice Up Your Makeup Looks With These Top Beauty Trends
Spring is in full bloom, which means temperatures are warming up and floral dresses are emerging out from under the depths of our winter wardrobes. However, a new season calls for not only a change in your clothing, but also in your makeup routine! Spring is the ideal time to embrace dewy, doll-like skin, along with pastel hues, to craft a natural sunny glow that will take you from day to night. Next time you prepare to do your makeup, be sure to check out these show-stopping beauty trends to have all eyes on you!
1. Pastel Eyeshadow & Liners
Pastel shadows and bright eyeliners, as seen on Lily Rose Depp, are set to trend this season. If you’re a beginner, an eye shadow stick will be your best friend in helping you to recreate these colorful styles! Easy to apply and sold in a variety of dreamy shades, such as seafoam greens and frosty lavenders, eye shadow sticks provide you with endless beauty possibilities to take a retro rewind. Simply glide the pencil lightly along your lids, then use a thin brush to ensure a seamless blend-out (your finger works just as well too!). Paint over your shadow with this sparkly finish by Armani Beauty or wear it alone with a coat of mascara. For a matte look to achieve the coveted siren eyes as predicted by Pinterest, opt for a powder set instead, such as this Dior palette, and have fun experimenting with the various shades! Liquid eyeshadow also gets the job done equally as amazing and is often more vibrant in pigment. For a bold blue moment, sport this liquid shadow from Stila Cosmetics.

2. faux freckles
Faux freckles are calling your name! Have a sparkling start to your spring when you adorn these bejeweled freckles across your face from the women-owned company Fazit, as spotted on Taylor Swift at a Kansas City Chiefs football game. These glitter speckles level up your makeup look and would be an excellent choice to wear at a sporting event to support your favorite team or at an outdoor music festival, such as Coachella. Both water-proof and sweat-proof, these popular gemstones would be perfect for withstanding the desert heat. Additionally, with their high shine, “when you walk in the room, you’ll make the whole place shimmer!” Fazit also produces patches that come in adorable prints featuring fruity strawberries. If your bestie has an upcoming spring birthday and you are in need of a gift idea, they are sure to love a pack of freckles!

3. Wispy lashes
Give your lashes a flirty, lengthening lift with an ultra-volumizing mascara such as this floating falsies product from Lancôme, starring none other than Olivia Rodrigo (we’re “obsessed” with her makeup!). If you are feeling bold, let your eyes do the talking and incorporate some color by using this trendy blue mascara from Sephora to achieve ultra-dramatic lashes. Instead of mascara to recreate the fluttery look, however, you can also buy a pack of individually cut, dainty self-adhesive wispies from Ardell (no glue = no mess!). These lashes are perfect to throw on for the convenience factor, as they save time in picking up those pesky outer corners to elongate your eyes and require no prior trimming- just stick on and go!

4. pink lips
Nothing screams spring quite like a juicy pop of pink on your lips! Whether you choose a bright or soft baby pink shade to express yourself, draw attention to your lips by boosting their hydration with this Neutrogena lip oil (aka singer Tate McRae’s fave in her makeup video for Allure), which will leave them with a sheer shiny splash of color. We will always be glossy girls too, Tate! Another moisturizing product to keep handy in your makeup bag is this r.e.m. beauty essential drip glossy bomb in the shade “strawberry soda” that will really pack a punch and have your lips feeling soft as a cloud. For an extra pouty plump, layer over your lips with your favorite lip liner, and your makeup look is all set to go! Which beauty trend has caught your eye this spring?
