Makeup Monday

Sorry guys, I meant to post this up yesterday, but some technical difficulties were going wrong with my blog!  So today I will try and post more than once since I missed out on yesterday! Here is what I meant to post yesterday...

I decided today on my blog was going to be Makeup Monday! Today I researched and was reading some of the magazines I purchased this past week (Glamour & Cosmopolitan), and saw some makeup trends that I wanted to share with you. I know most of you are going on Spring break soon either sometime during March or in April. I am jealous of those of you who are going away on vacation, sadly this year no vacation for this girl. :( Anyways, makeup trends for Spring 2013 aren’t too shocking, but I thought a lot of them you can actually use on a day to day basis and also you can pull off to do yourself. I am not an expert on makeup, I have to watch YouTube tutorials or look at the “step by steps’ in magazines. Surprisingly, the makeup techniques and styles for this Spring are simple. Many of the fashion shows I’ve seen and have been reading about are using blues and greens on the eyes. Also makeup artists have been doing vivid hues on the lips (classic reds, pinky-red, vibrant pinks and some coral pinks) *HINT* I found from one of my magazines “if you outline the outermost part of your lips in red pencil, this accentuates the shape of the mouth and makes lips look bigger and fuller.” Two more makeup trends to go along with the vivid lips are major lashes and smudged eyeliner. I am not one for a lot of eye makeup, but the smudged eyeliner and major lashes I think I can deal with. Here are some pictures of the looks I found and liked.
