A new take on what's warming up for SPRING!

 Spring Makeup Trends: 3 Hot Applications  for 2013 
 
 Spring will be here before you know it and it’s so exciting because there are so many new makeup trends we want to try. A new season means new lip colors, lip designs, and eye makeup techniques. We went straight to the pros to get the latest in makeup trends. Who knows more about beauty and makeup trends than Anna Phillips, Founder and President of the The Lash Lounge franchise? Anna is a licensed Esthetician, Massage Therapist, Eyelash Extension Specialist and Permanent Make-Up Artist. Below, Anna weighs in on the hottest Spring makeup trends:

1. The “Ombre Lip”

The “Ombre Lip” is the blending different shades of the same color or more than one color.  Start at one end of the lips and blend/fade it down to the opposite end of the lips. Another option is to fade the color from the outside of the lip line to the inside of the lip (or vice versa).  Most popular colors for this technique: shades of deep red, burgundy, blush and plum.

2. Lip “Color Blocking”
 

Your lip color can be used as a “color blocking” technique against either your outfit or the rest of your makeup.  Apply an allover bold color (Coral, Fuschia, Cherry Red, Berry) on your lips to pop against maybe a navy blue shirt, for instance.

3.  Stacked Eyeliner

  

The color stacking technique is going to be hot in 2013.  This is the method of using a “Base” color such as Black, Brown or Graphite stacked with an accent color such as blue, olive, plum or gold eyeliner to make the eyes pop.  For a subtle color stacking affect, add the base color closest to the eyelid line and the pop of color as the outside layer. For a more dramatic effect, add the pop of color closest to the lash line.
