Spring 2013 Makeup Trends

The Must-Have Items For This Season

Spring is here!

Well, at least in the world of fashion and beauty. Of course, that means new looks and new trends to add to your wardrobe and makeup collection.

Here is what is hot this season:

1. Shimmer Eye Shadow

Jewel-inspired eyeshadow will be all the rage this year. Soft shimmernot sparklewill be the key element to create this particular trend. Softer colours are best, so the light can reflect without being too obvious.

My favourite tones are: yellow, white, grey, copper, rose, and peach.

Yellow Diamond

Pearl

Platinum

Polished Copper  

Roselle

Terra Peach

2. Rich Eye Liner

With the softness of the eyeshadow, definition is created by using rich, warm tones for eye liner. Liquid liner is out, and powder liner is in. A hard line is not required, rather a soft, smudged line will create the definition, and respect the delicate nature of the shimmer eye shadow.

My favourite tone is: metallic brown.

3. Pastel Lipstick

The most important facet of makeup this spring is intense pastels for the lipsthink candy coating colours that create impact, while centralizing the focus of the look on the mouth. Opaque, full colour that is bold and bright is the way to go.

My favourite tones are: purple and coral.
