Makeup 101: Have a Fling with Spring Makeup

So if you live in a normal part of the country, it’s probably starting to get nice and sunny outside (note to Syracuse: please stop snowing). You’ve brightened up your wardrobe and bought some peep toe pumps, so now it’s time to brighten up your face.

In honor of what April is supposed to bring, and as a reminder to Syracuse to get with the program, I decided to research some bright makeup products to create rosy cheeks, stunning eyes and chase out winter gloom. These goodies are sure add a little spring to your step, so pick em up and dare to be bold!

Bare Escentuals: Destination Ensenada: This kit includes four powdered shadows and comes in a lime green case. The colors can come out muted or super bright if you’re feeling extra springy. The kit includes a rose pink, baby blue, bright green, and a gold/tan hue. It’s like spring in a compact.

Dior 5 Color Spring Bouquet: This palette of spring colors is a little more muted, and includes floral pinks, whites and browns. This is perfect for a daytime spring look that is still bright and fresh.

Benefit Poisetint: This little bottle looks like a nail polish but it is for lips and cheeks. It is a liquid see-through tint that stays on all day. It’s easy to apply and create a warm sun-kissed glow.

Tarte: A Perfect Whirled Natural Cheek Stain: This is a bright pink cheek stain made of natural ingredients, like acai and pomegranate.

Plant Love by Cargo: Fire: This little compact is a combination of blush, highlighter and bronzer composed of baked terracotta. It will easily brighten up your face and add some “April Showers Bring May Flowers” to your look.

Clinique Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine: Petal Pink: This rose-pink gloss plumps your lips and adds a layer of pretty shine.
