When I think of spring time the first thing that comes to mind is flowers, pretty pastels, and ladylike glam. You know that Dorothy Dandridge/Coco Chanel glam…CLASSIC. However, this season it’s all about COLOR!!! Pinks, orange, blues and purple hues were all the rage with the runway divas and should not only be incorporated into your wardrobe but your make-up as well!!!

In all the current make-up collections from MAC to Dior to drugstore brands such as L’Oreal and Maybelline you will notice electric blues, lilac purples, plums, coral, and pinks…not just girly hues but high-wattage, neon colors too!!! So breakout those hot pink and neon fuchsia glosses!!! Also you can’t sleep on those LASHES…its all about long, full, and flirty eyelashes think iconic Audrey Hepburn style.

SPRING MAKE-UP MUST HAVES:

Ø      MAC Cosmetics Liberty of London Collection (Birds & Berries Eye Shadow,Dirty Plum Blush, Petal & Peacocks Lipstick, and English Accents Lipglass)

Ø      NARS Lip Gloss in Easy Lover (Sheer Hot Pink) and Ophelia (Strawberry Pink)

Ø      NARS The Multiple Collection “Tint Cheek and Lip Stain” in Cadaques (Light Pink) and Turks & Caicos (Peachy-Orange)

Ø       MAC Cosmetics #3 False Lashes (Full and Long Length)

Ø       Maybelline Colossal Volum’ Express Mascara

And top off your look with a cute, playful side-braid and an ultra-feminine pastel nail color (try Essie’s Pop Art Pink or Lilacism). Whatever you do darlings…just make sure to KEEP IT CUTE!!!
