As the freezing weather is slowly becoming crisp and sunny, beauty looks are transitioning from the deep-colored eyeshadow and lipstick to the cream blush and baby pink gloss. Trends are picked up, tweaked, and dropped, causing Spring to look a little different each year. Here are the trends that made it to this year, and some that didn’t:
KEEP: Subtle Touch of Faux Freckles
A touch of Faux freckles on your nose and cheeks is an effortless way to have that no-makeup makeup look at the Spring Sunday brunches you might have! Try out a natural freckle pen that will give you that effortless, long lasting look such as this one by Freck Beauty:

TOSS: Heavy Foundations
Get rid of or put away any heavy foundations that will cover up your beautiful, hydrated skin! Spring is the time to be clean and fresh like the flowers that are blooming throughout your campus; plus you won’t have to worry about getting your facemask full of foundation!
KEEP: Funky Eyeliner Color and Shape (to Stand Out Even With a Face Mask On)
Eyeliner has expanded beyond its typical cat-eye shape especially over the past year, thanks to the creative platform of TikTok. It seems there is no boundary to what shape or color you can style on your eyes to make a statement. With the constant wearing of face masks now, people only have visual access to your eyes, so why not make them bold! Try out those new designs with this stunning lime green eyeliner by NYX Professional Makeup:

TOSS: Black Winged Eyeliner
Save the classy black winged eyeliner for the colder seasons, because Spring is all about color and vibrance. Black eyeliner is always a staple to have, but now is the time for a fresh start and trying new things, so go out and see what other colors suit you boldly.
KEEP: Brighter Cream Blush
Patting on some blush is one of the easiest ways to get that soft, pretty look. Cream blushes are the way to go this Spring because it looks more natural as it melts to the warmth of your skin, and it will have a harder time rubbing off onto your face mask! It always feels good to add that vibrance back to your face after six long months of gloominess and the cold. Maybe this is the Spring you will try out the infamous “Cloud Paint’ by Glossier:

TOSS: Deep Contouring
Save time and effort and don’t heavily contour this Spring. Sometimes powder and cream contour look too defined on your cheekbones, requiring you to take a lot of time to blend. The warmth and color of your face will come back naturally with the season changes, so let yourself naturally glow!
KEEP: Clean Yet Eye-Catching Hair Color Without Bleaching (including the brunettes out there!)
This Spring should be the time to let your hair grow out and become the healthiest it’s ever been; however, this doesn’t mean you can’t experiment with different hair colors for the time being. At-home hair dying has become more normalized and easier to learn thanks to TikTok and other social media platforms. Here is an at-home hair dye brand, Overtone, to try out that doesn’t require bleaching, has products that work on ALL hair shades and textures, and won’t damage your hair!
