Spring is such a beautiful season and it’s the most wonderful time of the year…birds are chirping, the weather is perfect, and flirty skirts are daring you to show some leg. Springtime is quickly approaching and with the change in season from cold, frigid temperatures to comfortable and mild, it’s time to change more than your wardrobe.
Here are some of the top beauty trends for spring that are guaranteed to warm up your look just in time for sensational weather.
Top Spring Beauty Trend #3: Dewy Skin
This technique reminds me of the spring season: fresh, new, and absolutely breathtaking when done right. It’s all about the skin and creating a texture that is both breathable and realistic without looking too made up or slick. Springtime beckons for skin to be exposed so this means that you must start with a clean, smooth, blemish-free palate. Dewy skin is very hard to pull off when you have splotchy or acne prone skin.
How to Get Dewy Skin:
One of the best products to create this look is Benefit’s High Beam. It’s a luminescent complexion enhancer that you wear alone or mix with your foundation. When dotted on strategic areas of the face, such as cheekbones, temples, bridge of nose, and chin, it gives the appearance of glowing, healthy skin that is fresh as spring rain. For those with warmer complexions, Benefit offers Moon Beam. The golden hues work better for those whose skin have yellow undertones and are prone to take more color during the summer.

Top Spring Beauty Trend #2: Golden Eyes
This spring, the eyes definitely have it. Gone are the garish looks of fall with heavy smoky lids and deeply lined eyes. This warmer season calls for bright, soft looks that are feminine, fabulous, and flirtatious. A few seasons ago, the white eyeliner trend was all the rage. It created a bright eye that really popped against any color shadow. This year, gold eyeliner is what makeup artists are using to give the appearance of sexy eyes that is still sophisticated for day or night.
How to Get Golden Eyes:
The trick for golden eyes lies in where you use the gold liner. For maximum effect, line the top and bottom lid with the gold liner. Then, add a thin line of black liquid liner. Finish the look by applying mascara on lashes and viola-you’ve got bedroom eyes.

Top Spring Beauty Trend #1: Naked Smile
When it comes to my favorite spring beauty trend, it’s all in the smile. The nude lip has always been a favorite for decades. This year, it comes back refreshed and revived. Instead of the 60’s look that was chalky and muted, the new nude lip is all about looking kissable.
How to Get Nude Lips:
The key to creating a natural luscious pout is applying great gloss and a dot of gold or peach shimmer in the middle of the lower lip. The nude lip pairs great with most looks and is a wonderful statement when you’re going for the demure, coquettish, feminine style that’s popular both on and off the runway. However, you must always exfoliate the lips beforehand in order to avoid the scraggily, chapped lip look that is never in fashion. You can purchase a lip exfoliator or sprinkle a dime sized amount of sugar on your toothbrush and vigorously brush away the dry skin, leaving lips smooth, soft, and ready for their close up.
