Whether you’re a minimalist seeking subtle enhancements or a maximalist craving bold statements, there’s a look to suit every style and mood be it a glowy goddess or a matte maven in the spring makeup lineup. And the best part – achieving these looks won’t require a degree in cosmetology or a bottomless pit of cash.
So, let’s start the fresh season with the most dazzling spring makeup looks that are guaranteed to turn heads and capture hearts.
Spring makeup looks
- Shimmer Sprinkle:
Who says shimmer has to be reserved for special occasions? You can embrace the subtle sparkle of spring with a shimmer sprinkle that adds just the right amount of glimmer to your spring makeup look.
Tap into Luscious Cosmetics’ iridescent shadow or the Inglot Moonlight Magic Palette for a touch of magic that will leave you feeling like a fairy princess.
- Monochromatic Pink:
Channel your inner girly-girl with a monochromatic pink look that exudes femininity and charm. From glossy lids to bubblegum lips, this ensemble radiates B.F.E. (Big Feminine Energy) like no other. And the best part? You can streamline your routine by using the same liquid blush for your lids, cheeks, and lips. Talk about efficiency! For that perfect pink flush, try the Blush InnerGlow Powder from Shiseido—it’s a game-changer.
- Vibrant Eyeliner:
Inject a pop of color into your makeup routine with a vibrant eyeliner that exudes confidence and charisma. You can opt for turquoise, coral blue, or any other bold hue, a splash of color along your lash line is sure to elevate your spring makeup look and brighten your day. My personal go-to? MegaLiner Liquid Eyeliner in Voltage Blue from Wet n Wild—it’s vibrant, long-lasting, and oh-so-flattering.
Dare to be different with ombré lips that command attention in the Spring Makeup look. Start with a brown lip liner, blend it onto your lips with a brush, and finish with a glossy sheen that adds dimension and depth. With the right technique and a dash of confidence, you’ll have lips that are as captivating as they are chic.
- Sun-kissed Glow:
Although the sun-kissed look is typically associated with summer, in my opinion, you can absolutely rock it during springtime, especially if you’ve had enough of the harsh winter. Apply a bronzer and gold highlighter to your face to create the illusion of basking in the sun.
- Porcelain Skin:
This year, Pat McGrath created the Doll Skin makeup, reminiscent of glass-like skin and rosy cheeks and lips for the Maison Margiela runway. So, you can experiment too. Dab on a dewy primer to blur pores, then apply rosy cream blush to cheeks and lips.
For those who like it bold, make a bold statement with a hot pink blush. Sweep it along your cheekbones and eyelids. Cream blushes work wonders for achieving that seamless, flushed look.And don’t be afraid to go a little overboard—after all, there’s no such thing as too much blush in the springtime!
- Wicked Green:
Spring wouldn’t be complete without a pop of green. Why? Spring means new green leaves whether you opt for shimmering emeralds or matte moss, a green eye look is sure to turn heads. Try the Sosu By Suzanne Jackson palette for a range of stunning green shades for perfect spring makeup look.
- Peachy For Brown Babes:
If cream blushes aren’t your jam or you’re prone to acne, fear not. Powder blushes in peach and warm shades are a great alternative, especially for brown babes looking to embrace the peachy trend.
- Flushed Lips:
For an ethereal spring look, opt for a lip tint that falls somewhere between lipstick and gloss. A blurred pink lipstick, paired with fluffy brows, is the epitome of effortless chic. Give the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick Set a try for that perfect flushed lip look.
- Pastel Lids:
Nothing looks better than colorful pastel lids, paired with minimal makeup elsewhere. From pretty Pinks, soft yellows or dreamy blues is a wash of pastel color is the perfect way to add a touch of romance to your look. Reach for the Italian Marble Artistry Collection for a range of pastel shades that will make your eyes pop.
- White Eyeliner:
Spring Makeup Look is not complete without a white eyeliner which adds instant freshness to the face. Whether you use it to line your waterline or create a bold graphic look, white eyeliner looks totally chic and charming. Try Essence White Kajal Pencil 01 for intense color and a smooth finish.
- Natural Brows:
The natural brows are not going anywhere so you can bid farewell to over-plucked brow and embrace natural brows for a low-maintenance and ultimate spring makeup look.Use Eyebrow Gel to keep your brows in place all day long. A good one is Brow-Sessive Brow Shaping Gel- Brown from Wet n Wild
