Need a new look this spring? Try out these beauty trends straight from the runway!
Neon Lips
With lips drenched in eye-popping shades of neon orange and fuchsia on the runways of Jil Sander, Fendi and Marni, the bright lip look has been taken to a whole new level this spring.
How To Rock The Look
* Bright colors can accentuate flakes and lines. Make sure you exfoliate and prep the lip with a generous layer of lip balm.
* A loud pout requires utmost precision. Clean up your lip line with a brush dipped with concealer or foundation and outline your lips with a pencil. Apply your lip color with a lip brush.
* Go matte. Bright, glossy lips can be an overkill, especially on fuller lips. Stick with matte formulas or mattify your lipstick by blotting with a tissue and patting an eyeshadow in the same color on top.
* Always pair bright lip color with clean skin and barely-there blush for the chicest look.
Colorful Eyes
From the bright greens at Oscar de la Renta to the vibrant reds at Carolina Herrera and blocks of smoked-out lavender at Etro, the eyes are equally as colorful this spring.
How To Rock The Look
* If you are wearing a lot of colors on the eyes, remember to keep your lips and cheeks muted.
* Bright colors in matte formulas give the most impact while shimmery and satin formulas are easier to pull off.
* Those who are color-shy can add a pop of color by lining their eyes with a bright eyeliner instead.
Cat Eyes
The look at the Haute Couture shows was signature Parisian – black liquid cat-eye. The liner was dragged all the way to the brow bone at Jean Paul Gaultier for a “chic and aggressive” vibe, while Christian Dior paired a thick line with pastel eyeshadow and a blunt cat eye added “a playful twist” at Chanel.
