Hello Bright Eyes: 5 Spring Makeup Lewks You Need to Learn How to Rock

As the weather hits above 60, we’re ready to shed the puffer and head outdoors for some well-deserved fun.  We’ve been cooped up all winter and we’d accept almost any invitation for an al fresco event. But as our social calendars pick up steam, so does our need for that B12 shot, as exhaustion and susceptibility to watery eyes and runny noses kick in during the high pollen season we call springtime.

Now we have to come up with a plan so we don’t actually look like our faces took a beating from Mother Nature (you allergy sufferers know what I’m talking about). This spring we got you covered. Here are a few makeup tricks we can do to fight back and let her know we won’t take any mess. Runny mascara and smeared liner is not an option this time.

When you see a 4 color makeup palette, chances are you can use them all in one look.  Four colors may seem excessive on one tiny lid, but when they are blended you can go from basic to extraordinary in a snap. It’s like that multi-ways wrap dress most of us have in our closet that has become a vacation staple. You know, the one that can be worn as a halter or a strapless? Think of this palette in that way and try out as many combinations you think could work for you. You can even throw in a highlighter for your brow bone to take the look from day to night in a few finger taps. The brow bone is a great place for highlighter aside from cheeks. That little touch will have bae captivated.
