Swing into Spring: Hott Makeup Trends

Spring has sprung!



Well, it has in most places. Here in Kansas, it's anyone's guess. It's beautiful and warm one day and its cold and sleeting snow the next. We catch a lot of nature's bipolar mood swings, but for the most part spring has started. The trees are growing new leaves and blossoms, flowers are blooming. It's really quite lovely.

Of course with the entrance of the new season,  some cosmetics companies have released their spring/summer product lines for 2016.  I'm sure it's no surprise, I'm always excited for new makeup releases, let's be real. I'm not always for all the trends that they talk about, but with the spring season, there's always pops of color, whether it's bold or natural. I just love new makeup releases!!

Jumping right in, the trends everyone is buzzing about, hot off the run ways are

Pouts that Pop
Electric Eyes
Endless Summer Bronze
Sweet Sunsets for the eyes
Glitter.....Everywhere

Pout That Pop





Personally, I'm drawn more towards a natural lip, but I still love the bright spring colors that companies release. The vibrant reds and pinks, fuchsias and corals. I would love to be able to pull off a coral lip, but sadly, I can't. But people who can, God it's so gorgeous, I"m so jealous.  Also I think this is a staple for spring, bright lips. Rock it for Spring or all year round if you like!



Electric Eyes




Once again, I'm drawn towards the neutral side of things, but everything I saw from fashion week, was screaming colors, especially blue! Which is crazy to me, because Very few people can pull off blue eye shadow. Everywhere you looked, every picture, blue, blue, blue. Whatever that's cool, no problem.
Back to this lovely palette, lovely neutrals, with shimmer. I'm all about that life, plus I love Tarte palettes. They're so beautiful!! This one of course is no exception!



Endless Summer Bronze





Glowing, bronzed, beautiful summer skin........Yes!! All of the Yes. I get all of the feels just thinking about this trend. Mainly because, from the time I was 6 yrs old till now I've had a very fair complexion. Up till my 6th birthday, I had a lovely, lightly bronzed skin tone and I can tan okay, it just takes me a bit to build up the base tan because I'm so fair now as an adult. I didn't get it for a long time, why this happened but honestly if I think about it, My biological background is predominantly Spanish and Irish. Only thing I can think of  is the Irish took over, appearance wise. Ha listen to me, I have no idea what I'm even talking about......anyways, back on topic, beautiful summer skin, every brand from Tom Ford to Urban Decay are doing this trend up big and who can blame them?  What chick doesn't want glowing, healthy looking sun kissed skin? I know I do! I go more for highlighter because I'm so fair, I have to be careful with bronzer or it can easily look like I rolled around in dirt, and that's not cute. Unless of course you're under the age of 5. But , with summer coming when I get a little color bronzer is a must. You can do a little bit or go balls to the wall. Whatever floats your boat.


Sweet Sunsets (for your eyes)





Pinks and peaches aren't just for your cheeks this spring. They're gravitating up to your eyes in a stunning way.  I love pink on the eyes, I always have. It's so pretty and fresh looking, and feminine. It's an easy and simple look, that has a very spring feel to it. Doesn't look heavy.  This trend next to the endless summer skin trend is my favorite!


Glitter Everywhere


I don't think this trend needs any explaining.......I mean who doesn't like glitter, Hello!!!


Again, these are just a few of the 2016 spring/summer trends everyone is buzzing about.

Which ones are you excited about?


Stay Beautiful Y'all


XOXO
