Jeweled headbands and Messy Buns: The ‘No-Makeup’ Makeup: This look is SO simple and easy to rock with your everyday casual to even a working chic fashion. Headbands are blossoming into an ultra easy jewelry alternative and are a simple solution to fake a fancy hairstyle. Messy, low buns are an easy go to for just about all of us. Heavy highlighting and contouring is too bold with the bright colors of spring. Take it back to basics. Flawless, light foundation, true bright pink to cheeks to emulate a ‘flushed’ appearance and beautiful lashes. Look for a foundation with a true illuminating undertone to add a natural, gentle glow. Make Up For Ever ‘Ultra HD’ Liquid and Dior Skin ‘Airflash’ are great for a bigger budget or Maybelline FitMe ‘Dewey + Smooth’ is a great drugstore dupe. For work, pair with a muted pattern top (think floral or lace) or add with a plain shift dress. Just be sure to hide the string of the headband with a loose piece of hair to avoid an unprofessional appearance. BEAUTY ON TREND Pop of Color Eyeshadow: Adding a gorgeous bright tone to your lower lash or lid line is the perfect complement to the ‘no-makeup’ makeup. Light blue, summer pink, lilac purple, mandarin orange. Start with pastel but don’t be afraid to get vibrant! The trick to avoid too bold of a look is to keep the rest of your face modest. Adding harsh contouring will wash out the pop of color so skip the contouring and add a pretty clear gloss to your lips instead of a bold shade. Natural Brows: Heavily filled in brows look great with a full face of makeup but the natural brow is back for the year. The most important way to achieve the best appearance with this look is to have your brows properly groomed. Get them waxed, threaded and shaped by a reliable source. Benefit Brow Bar or a privateer with a good reputation. No local options? Get the tools yourself! There are a TON of videos on YouTube to help you learn how to properly brow map and trim your brows. For filling, stick to just powders or a thin crayon. I love the shades that Anastasia Beverley Hill’s Brow Wiz collection and TooFaced’s Brow Envy Kit offer. Set with Benefits ‘Gimme Brow’ or a clear mascara. Written by - Korena Knippenberg of Korena K Beauty Who is Korena K Beauty?
