Top spring makeup looks
Break free from the boring makeup looks and embrace the top spring makeup looks listed below:
1. Dewy skin
The ‘less is more’ approach is perfect for spring makeup. No matter your eye and lip makeup styles, a dewy face makeup works best as a light spring makeup. Use a lightweight foundation to add a natural coverage that allows your skin to breathe. If you only have a matte foundation on hand, simply mix some dewy primer and liquid highlighter to instantly amp up the glow and give your skin a natural-looking finish. For an even more light spring makeup, ditch the foundation altogether and go straight in with concealer. Make sure the concealer matches your skin tone and undertone exactly to get a seamless, second-skin look.
2. Glowy blush
To take your glowy base up a notch, add a touch of shimmery blush to the apples of your cheeks to make them appear plump and hydrated. If you want to give your face a more youthful and lifted appearance, apply the blush slightly higher on your cheekbones and take it upwards towards your temples for an instant face-lift. You can also dust a light layer of highlighter on top of your blush for an ethereal spring makeup look.
3. Bold and beautiful brows
If you have always been jealous of celebrities rocking their naturally full brows, you have nothing to worry about, you can recreate the same with an eyebrow pencil. For a light spring makeup look, keep your eye makeup simple and minimal and keep just your brows as the focal point. Using a spoolie, brush through your brows in an upward direction to give them the untamed, feathered look. Next, using short, hair-like strokes, fill in the sparse areas in your brows to make them appear fuller. You can then go in with a clear eyebrow gel if you want to fluff them up more and set them in place so they do not budge all day long.
4. Green smokey eye
Wanna go for a bright spring makeup? Trust the smokey eye makeup process and you would love the results. However, instead of using brown and black eyeshadow to create a classic smokey eye, use a vivid green eyeshadow shade all over your lid and smoke it out with dark brown to create the ultimate spring eyeshadow look. Finish the look off with some black eyeliner or kajal and add a coat of your favourite mascara to get fluttery and curled lashes. And, you are ready to rock the season with unique spring eyeshadow look.
5. Floating eyeliner
Another fun way to play around with your spring makeup look is to switch from a traditional eyeliner to a graphic eyeliner look. The floating eyeliner style is the perfect way to grab attention without looking over the top. All you need to do is place the eyeliner just above your crease, following along the shape of your crease, without touching the inner and outer corners of your eyes. And that’s it! A simple yet stunning eyeliner style that is much easier to create than the much-dreaded winged eyeliner.
6. Colour blocking
No spring makeup is complete without vibrant colours. For a bright spring makeup look, mix and match some fun colours on your eyes for a colour-blocked effect. For example, use a pink eyeshadow shade all over your eyelids and then add a contrasting blue eyeliner on your lower lash line to add some oomph to your everyday makeup look. You could even use matching shades from the same colour family if you want to play it safe.
7. Ombre lips
A bright coloured statement lipstick is one of the most common ways to make sure your makeup is spring ready. Why not use a bold lipstick shade and create ombre lips instead? Pick out your favorite coral lipstick and tinted lip balm and follow this ombre lips tutorial to add colour to your pout in a fun way and upgrade to a bright spring makeup look.
