Today is such a warm and sunny Sunday in NYC that I'm starting to believe spring will finally come! I went out for a walk in my neighborhood in Brooklyn and the weather was absolutely beautiful. Since spring is just around the corner, I've decided to share some of my fun finds that are perfect for anytime use throughout the season!
First off, let's talk makeup. When I picture putting together a face for the average day in spring, I see two different looks. The first look is very light and warm, and the second is more poppy and energetic. What I use to create the lighter look is simple; earth-tone eyeshadow, which adds a very natural feel to the eyes, some mascara, possibly a little bit of eyeliner, light pink lip gloss or lip color, and some light pink blush. Here's what I use to create this look:
- Almay's intense i-color 401 smoky-i for browns powder shadow
- Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara
- Benefit's they're Real! push-up liner for eyes
- Buxom's full-on lip cream in White Russian
- Benefit's Coralista face powder for cheek contour lines
Now, to create the more poppy look for spring, I use products such as stronger pinks for eyeshadow colors, dark mascara, bright and energetic lip colors (pastels are included!), eyeliner, and brightening blush. What I use for this look is:
- Ulta Beauty eyeshadow in Wide Awake, Pink, or Love
- same mascara as above or an alternative is Buxom's Amplified Lash Mascara in Loud Black
- NYX Macaron Lippies in Rose or Lavender (or whatever suits your fancy)
- eyeko London's Skinny Liquid Eyeliner in Black
- same blush or Ulta Beauty's cheek color in Sweet Cheeks or Champagne
Another thing I like to do is wear light pink nail polish in the spring. It looks very delicate and is so pretty! I like to use Essie's Nail Lacquer in "hi maintenance".
In terms of clothing, I like to wear very light, comfortable clothing that isn't too warm but doesn't exactly announce that it's summer either. Outfits can range from boyfriend jeans and white
short-sleeved shirts to corduroy skirts and a nice patterned top. Mixing and matching is always a fun experiment with clothing as well! I'll be posting more looks within the next few weeks of NYC teens enjoying their style and I'll continue to share ideas! Hope everyone has a lovely week! If you have any thoughts on this post, questions, or anything you simply want to share, leave me a comment! I love hearing what you have to say!
xoxo, Olivia
