Spring Makeup Tutorial

Can you lovelies believe that its already SPRING? Personally, my favorite season! Today we will be doing a tutorial using fun, spring colors! To me, spring is all about being light and fresh. So today's tutorial will reflect that! Let's begin!

**We will be using this picture of Selena Gomez as the model. She is so beautiful and she always wear light, beautiful makeup. She is stunning and always looks so great, with or without makeup! I think she wears this look really well.

1. First, prime your face. I'm using Makeup Forever HD Primer. I find that this works best for me but you can use whatever you have. Also prime your eyelids, under your brow bone, and under your lower lash line. This will keep your shadows on all day. I'm using Urban Decay's Primer Potion.

2. Now apply your favorite foundation. For a light, but flawless coverage, I will be using Laura Mercier's tinted moisturizer. As a setting powder, I'm using a Mac Mineralized Skinfinish Natural.

3. Next take any eyeshadow brush you own and take a light, golden- bronze color. Sweep this all over the lid. I'm using Birthday Suit from the Too Faced Naked Eye Palette.

4. Now take a fluffy crease brush and blend a shimmery light brown into your crease. I'm using Woodwinked by Mac. I absolutely love this color. It looks great in the crease.

5. Take an angled brush and a dark brown eyeshadow and, while staying very close to the lash line, sweep it lightly under the lashes. I'm using Espresso by Mac

6. Line your waterline with a brown eyeliner. I'm using Brownboarder by Mac

7. Coat your lashes with your favorite mascara. Remember, you don't want super volume or ridiculous length. This is a natural look and should remain simple. I recommend a Lash Discovery mascara.

8. As you can see in the picture above, Selena has a light pink blush on. It gives a nice flush without being overpowering. I'm using Well Dressed by Mac. This is a little different than Selena's, but it will work nicely.

9. Apply a light pink/nude lipstick. I'm using Angel by Mac.

10. Lastly, apply your lipgloss. It should be pretty clear but with a light pink tint. I'm using Underage by Mac.

SPRING FASHION

SPRING FASHION POST

As always I am SUPER excited that it is finally spring! I can't wait to start wearing all my lovely spring pieces! So basically this post is going to be all about whats in this spring and how to work the styles! LET'S GET STARTED!

-This may surprise you readers but LACE is really in this season! Being a model I had the opportunity to go to New York Spring Fashion Week and I got to see a TON of amazing runway shows. Lace seemed to be all over the runway!

-Another trend that seemed to be all over the catwalk were bell bottoms! I know most people think that skinny jeans are whats "in" but in reality, skinny jeans are O-U-T. Bell Bottoms and Flare jeans are back in!

- The next trend that is going to be sweeping the nation this summer is CROP TOPS! I saw so many on the runways that I just had to buy some for myself! They are just so cute! There are a bunch of different kinds of crop tops. Some are very cropped and some are subtle. Some are flowy and some are tight. This picture below happens to be one of my favorites

I just love the sparkle and the elegance of the look. Its flirty and fun and totally in for Spring/Summer 2011

-Another thing to keep and eye out for this season are new hairstyles! Check out these crazy one below! They may be a little odd but you'll be seeing them a lot this summer!

This particular style below is called the Bird's Nest Bun. Difficult to create but stunning on the runway.

This style is called the Top Knot Bun. This has been seen lately on many celebrities, including the Kardashian sisters, Kim and Kourtney.

This is a much less unusual style but is very popular! This is the new style for spring and summer and the super long hair is O-U-T.

As for hair colors, Reds and White Blondes are really in.

As for hair styles, bobs and pixie cuts are really in. Bangs and fringe are also really popular so remember that next time your in the salon.
