Tips from Alejandro Falcon for this year’s Spring makeup trends.
Keeping
the skin fresh looking, without adding heavy foundations, is the way to go.
Light mineral makeup can minimize flaws and add protection from the environment.
Apply your mineral foundation as light as possible to make the skin look fresh
and healthy. Increase hydration and give skin a natural glow with hyaluronic
acid, found in Colour's Mineral Hydration Mist.
The colors
chosen for lips and cheeks should be the same shade and should not contain any
mixtures or other colors added to them. If wearing a red lipstick you would not
add a pink or silver gloss to it, but rather stick with the boldness of the color.
Blushes should complement your natural blush tone. If you are going to go with
a bolder lip color, then add a subtle shade of blush to blend with it. The look
for the blush is to accentuate the cheeks without utilizing a contouring effect
when applying them.
Since
eyes and lips have become a focus for Spring, mascaras and eyeliners play a big
part in enhancing the eyes. Solid eye shadow colors applied all over the eye
area and using a wet eyeliner can add a subtle yet defined look. Pick a shade
that would be the opposite of your eye color so that it can bring out the color
of your eyes. For instance if you have blue eyes use a shade that has brown,
copper, yellow, bronze, plum or terracotta tones. For brown eyes you can use
blues, purples, greens or mahoganies to enhance them. Use a good eye shadow
base such as our Age Defying Concealer
to cover any discoloration on the eyelids and noticeable
capillaries. With an oval shadow brush, apply the shadow to the top of the lash
line and sweep it back on the rest of the eye area. Try to keep the tear duct light
in color and add a soft lighter shadow tone below the brow area, just as a
finish.
Brows
can be defined in their natural shapes but a square-type appearance is what's
in for
Spring. Use the Brow Gel to help fill in the brows. Lashes should be enhanced and built up.
Use the Defining Mascara and reapply to add volume, coating both upper and lower lashes.
Wet liners, such as the Liquid Eye Definer, will further define eyes. Apply a wing tip at the end of the lash
line for the perfect “Cat’s Eye", giving your eyes the appearance that
they are open and almond shaped. Use a regular pencil liner for the bottom lash
line and apply to the inside rim of the eyes for a more defined and dramatic effect.
Keeping
it as simple as possible is the best natural way for this year’s Spring style.
