Now I do not want to get ahead of myself, but after yesterday’s gorgeous weather
and the prediction of 70s later today – I feel confident Spring is truly here.
In gentle preparation, I was sorting through my makeup for inspiration on how to
“springify” my beauty routine and everyday looks.
Easy on the Emerald
It should come as not surprise that the color of the year is being incorporated more
frequently on lids, nails and even in some cases, lashes.
I prefer to go subtle with the trend, typically layering green liner over a dark brown
for a hint of color while still maintaining that definition above or below my eye.
A trend I love is a more natural face with a bold punch of color on the lips.
For Spring I favor a brighter, matte pink or tangerine.
Similar to that on Missoni and Prada’s models.
For this look, Chanel’s Allure Velvet Luminous Matte in L’Exuberante is perfect.
Many of us are awaiting the premier of The Great Gatsby with bated breath.
Some for the drama, many for the fashion but most certainly the beauty.
From incorporating dusty rose with more natural dark browns to gorgeous retro
pin curls, I am hoping this is a look many will emulate.
The nearly bold brow.
Give your brow pencil a bit of a break with a more delicate take on last
seasons uber-bold set of brows.
Good health is always in style. I take my SPF application seriously as should everyone.
Beauty starts from the inside out – if you’re not feeding your body what it needs,
how is that skin going to get that gorgeous glow?
I also love lip butters, BB creams and luminizers to keep me properly hydrated, not oily.
I posted the ingredients of one of my favorite natural detox drinks here.

April 9, 2013I love the colored liner on the lower lid, but my eyes are so small, when I but liner on the bottom it always ends up travelling down my face. I definitely will be doing a bolder pink lip thought and I am so excited for Gatsby!!! xx

April 9, 2013Hi Georgina,
I love all those Spring looks above, and for the makeup – def into the natural face with a bold lipstick. I have a new pink one I am about to sport and praying that I can carry it off here in Jamaica as usually I am a bit of a trendsetter in terms of makeup and nail polish – to which I usually get strange remarks…but a few weeks later, everyone is happily converted!
So love the dusty pink, and lovely simple hairstyles I see going on for Spring.
Happy Spring to you!

XOXO

April 9, 2013I'm loving the bold lip trend, too! I always go more neutral on my eyes, but I think a green liner is something I could try!

April 11, 2013I've actually never tried it! I can't wait to one day though π
Chandra
April 10, 2013love the emerald polish..not so sure i could pull off that eye shadow though!even though i don't wear alot of makeup, usually during the warmer months i wear even less and opt for some color on the lips + a bit of mascara instead.
Georgina
April 11, 2013I'm definitely just trying the liner (in small amounts.) Chandra going sans makeup is a good thing. I do it more days than not now π

April 10, 2013I can't wait for The Great Gatsby! I saw the trailer for it the other day and it gave me chills. I'm really liking the liner on the lower lid, though I'm not sure I can quite pull it off.
xo, Yi-chia

April 11, 2013I am sooo excited for it too!
Instant Milk
April 12, 2013Wow I have that exact Chanel lip color and it really is my favorite. It makes your lips looks pinkish so it
s obvious you're wearing lipstick but not over the top.
I like the greens you chose. I am going to look for that green eyeliner by D&G. I wish I could wear crazy make up every day, but in reality we can't wear neon greens on our eyes to work…
