Spring Makeup Colors Are Bright and Bold

Spring Makeup Tips: I'm in a great makeup mood!

Have you been one of the many hoping the temps will warm up and that spring is here?

It has been a rough winter for everyone around the world. Be it pollution, cold or hot climate change, or just simple fatigue, it's time to pamper ourselves.

Colors are very important for creating the right makeup mood.

There are different moods we want to create depending on the occasion.

Modern, grown-up pink for a joyful look.

Think pretty in pink for that happy and healthy look. You can choose to have your eyes, cheeks and lips be in the same tones or mix it up a bit. Pinks vary so to be safe going plum or dusty rose is the easiest. You can wear petal pink, silver, or plum gloss to dress up the look.

Big red lips on Jessica Biel

Make a bold statement with your lips.

It you're looking for a bold look, go for a nice rich red or Bordeaux lip, keep the eyes and cheeks very neutral.

You can wear a little liner and mascara to finish the look but the emphasis remains on the bold red lip.

Smouldering gray eyes on Jennifer Lopez

Try going gray for a sexy appearance.
Gray is a great color to play with since you can use light blue, lavender, white, silver, pink, green and many others to wear with it.

Line the eyes with black or dark gray eyeliner and add your mascara for that smoky look.

Go soft on the cheeks and the lips. The key here is to focus on your inner sex appeal which begins with the eyes!

Experiment with bright color eyeshadow.

Deep and rich blue eyeshadow is a fun change

Have you ever worn blue eye shadow or mascara? What a great pick me upper and wonderful to bring out hazel, green, blue or dark brown eyes.

You can keep your lips light and neutral with a glossy effect while playing up the eyes with all sorts of blue shades. How about, powder blue, turquoise, navy, indigo, cobalt, teal, azure, electric blue to name a few!

Line the eyes with a navy liner and finish with navy or midnight blue mascara.
