Spring's Biggest Makeup Trends (and How to Wear 'Em)

DUSTY PASTELS

Surprise! Pastel shadows are back for spring, though this season they have a muted '70s vibe that's way cooler than your average robin's-egg blue. "Keep the look modern by blending the color over the entire lid and brow bone," says Black, who recommends starting with an eyelid primer, since pastels can oxidize and darken when exposed to the natural oils on your eyelids (We like Dior Backstage Eye Prime). Then layer on mascara. "It anchors the dreamy look and gives it a bit of an edge."

 

DUSTY PASTELS

1. Laura Mercier Watercolour Mist Eye & Cheek Palette
2. CoverGirl Flamed Out Shadow Pot in Red Hot Flame
3. Milani Bella Eyes Gel Powder Eyeshadow Bella Sky
4. Chanel Les 4 Ombres Quadra Eye Shadow in Tissé Paris
 

MONOCHROMATIC PEACH

We know peach is sweet. But peach is also great at warming up your complexion without going full-on bronze. "It's the perfect multiuse color," says Black. And the easiest way to try it is with a cream formula. "Creams tend to settle and fade throughout the day, so make sure to choose a shade a little more intense than you want the final look to be," says Black.

 

MONOCHROMATIC PEACH

1. Sally Hansen Triple Shine Nail Polish in Peach Party
2. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Crème Colour Concentrate in Grandma
3. Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Lipstick in Désinvolte
4. Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy Shine Lipstick in Surreal Sun
5. Clé de Peau Beauté Extra Rich Lipstick in Cherish (211)
 

PINK-RED LIPSTICK

Not quite red and not quite pink, this color of the moment combines the best of both shades: It's classic, sexy, and flirty, especially with a high-shine finish and mega-watt lashes. After applying Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crème in Goddess, Black loads up the mascara to give the look "a fun twist." And if you like a more subtle look, "apply your lipstick and then blot it to create the perfect, just-been-kissed stain."

 

PINK-RED LIPSTICK

1. Chanel Rouge Allure Gloss in Pirate
2. Wet N Wild Lipstick in Hot Red
3. Revlon Ultra HD Lipstick in HD Gladiolus
4. Marc Jacobs Lip Créme in Goddess
5. CoverGirl Colorlicious Lipstick in Garnet Flame
6. CoverGirl Colorlicious Lipstick in Succulent Cherry
 

CANARY-YELLOW LINER

"Yellow eyeliner is one of the most unusual color trends this spring," says Black. And while it may seem strange and supertricky to pull off, you can rest assured that it's easier than it sounds. "The new pencil formulas make it easy to use, and when done in place of your everyday liner, it's a fun way to experiment with color," says Black, who uses Revlon Photoready Kajal in Matte Lemon. Just be sure to follow Black's lead and keep it away from your bottom lash line. Otherwise, "it can make your eyes look a bit puffy," she says.

 

CANARY-YELLOW LINER

1. Revlon PhotoReady Kajal in Matte Lemon
2. Sephora Collection Contour Eye Pencil 12 HR Wear in Banana Split
3. Stila Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in Canary

 

BLACK-CHERRY LIPS

Not all spring makeup has to be soft and flowery. Case in point: the loads of wine-colored lipsticks beauty brands are launching this season. To keep this dramatic shade from looking too heavy, Black suggests pairing it with curled lashes, subtle contouring, and a touch of highlighter on the inner corners of the eyes, like Nars Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Goddess. "The combo of intense dark lips and a fresh nude face is a modern way to approach spring makeup and keeps this deep shade from sliding into goth territory," she said. And before you slick on the plummy shade, start by filling in your lips with a chocolate-brown pencil. "It ensures the shade won't look too purple," she says.

 

BLACK-CHERRY LIPS

1. Topshop Lips in Suspected
2. Topshop Lips in Wicked
3. Dior Addict Fluid Stick in Trompe L'Oeil
4. Topshop Lip Polish in Twin
5. Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution Lipstick in Glastonberry
6. Bite Beauty Matte Crème Lip Crayon in Truffle

 

GOLD EYES AND NAILS

Forget metallics. The way to wear gold this spring is in the form of loose, chunky, in-your-face glitter. That's right, G-L-I-T-T-E-R. But before you laugh, hear us out: "Sophisticated glitter may sound like an oxymoron, but this subtle application around the eyes really does elevate it to grown-up status," says Black, who presses Make Up For Ever Glitters underneath the lower lash lines and finishes off with black mascara and a smudge of white liner along the inner rim. And the same goes for the nails. When looking for a gold polish this spring, the chunkier and fuller coverage your polish, the better.

 

GOLD EYES AND NAILS

1. Nicole by OPI Nail Lacquer in A Heart of Gold
2. Make Up For Ever Glitter in Gold
3. Revlon PhotoReady Eye Art Lid + Line + Lash in Desert Dazzle

 

COBALT LINER

Spring's boldest liner brings to mind artist Yves Klein's favorite shade—and it's just as astonishingly vibrant and beautiful. "Bright blue is a gorgeous color, but it can be difficult to figure out how to wear it," says Black. "Try creating an exaggerated cat eye using a gel liner formula, then trade in your black mascara for a matching blue shade. It's daring but also surprisingly flattering."

 

COBALT LINER

1. Wet N Wild ColorIcon Kohl Eyeliner in Like, Comment, or Share
2. M.A.C. Chromagraphic Pencil in Marine Ultra
3. Hard Candy Take Me Out Liner in Vice
4. M.A.C. Chromaline in Marine Ultra

 

ALL OVER NUDE

Nude makeup—not to be confused with no-makeup makeup—was one of the biggest trends on the spring runways. And when used correctly, it can make your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones look sharper (who wouldn't want that?). "They don't have to be boring," says Black. The trick is to vary the texture and tone of your nudes on each feature. For example, keep your blush matte, your shadow metallic, and your lips glossy. Black even likes nude lipsticks with a touch of shimmer. "It's a subtle way to add dimensional and textural interest to your look."

The Two-Second Trick to Better Skin and a Boosted Mood

When you glance in the mirror to see a sallow complexion and a furrowed brow staring back at you, it's easy to lament that you don't have time for a full-on facial or proper meditation. But you can calm your stress and perk up your complexion in just two seconds flat if you reach for the right product, like one of these botanical mists. They're genius in their multitasking: Like toners, they gently but effectively improve a variety of skin problems, and like essential oils, they offer a dose of aromatherapy, too. Here, we round up the best on the market for every malady and fancy, and break down the mental and topical benefits of each.

 

The Overachiever

Caudalie Beauty Elixir, $49; caudalie.com
What's in it: Bitter orange, rosemary, and peppermint
For your skin: There's a reason why this product is a cult favorite for everyone from top makeup artists to Karlie Kloss: Orange normalizes sebum production, keeping oiliness in check, peppermint soothes inflammation, and rosemary is believed to encourage collagen production. That's the trifecta, non?

 

The Master Healer

Aesop Immediate Moisture Facial Hydrosol, $25; barneys.com
What's in it: Rose, bergamot, and chamomile
For your skin: Bergamot targets and tackles blemishes ranging from psoriasis to acne to discoloration, thanks to its antiseptic and antibacterial qualities. (The oil has been known to kill the bacteria that causes these issues and speed up recovery and cell regeneration.) As anti-inflammatories, chamomile and rose both soothe and encourage healing as well.
 

For Instant Focus

Aveda Botanical Kinetics Toning Mist, $20; aveda.com
What's in it: White oak, witch hazel, and peppermint
For your skin: Thanks to its high tannin content, white oak is a powerful antiseptic and anti-inflammatory, and in turn has all the qualities of a well-rounded toner: It helps remove excess oil, tighten pores, and balance skin tone. Witch hazel boasts similar qualities, and peppermint soothes and cools.

 

To Indulge Your Inner Flower Child

The Body Deli Amber Patchouli Mist, $32; thebodydeli.com
What's in it: Amber and patchouli
For your skin: This formula actually blends coconut water with regular H2O as its base—and the former contains cytokinins, which help fight aging. Meanwhile, patchouli is used as a natural cure for wounds and blemishes, and to fight inflammation. Plus, proponents of crystal healing will tell you that when in direct contact with the skin, amber is thought to increase circulation.
 

Sex in a Bottle

May Lindstrom The Jasmine Garden Botanical Mist, $60; maylindstrom.com
What's in it: Jasmine and witch hazel
For your skin: Witch hazel is a known skincare superstar, acting as a natural anti-inflammatory and astringent (which means your blemishes and puffy under-eye bags are covered). Jasmine offers an extra dose of hydration, encouraging a natural, post coital-esque glow.
For your mood: Spritz this to get in a really good mood—the scent of jasmine is a stress-reliever and a natural aphrodisiac.

 

For Would-Be Navel Gazers

Four Elements White Sage Organic Herbal Hydrosol Face Spray, $20; rodales.com
What's in it: Sage
For your skin: Thanks to its high calcium and vitamin A content, sage is an anti-aging superstar, encouraging cell regeneration and staving off free radicals. As an anti-bacterial, it helps normalize sebum production.
For your mood: Sage has long since been used as a cleansing and grounding scent—the ancient practice of burning it (aka smudging) has even seen a resurgence as the New Age lifestyle continues to steadily rise as a trend. A spritz of this mist allows you to get the same centering, clarifying, mood-lifting effect without the fire hazard.



 

For the Ultimate Beauty Sleep

Heritage Store Lavender Flower Water, $6; drugstore.com
What's in it: Lavender
For your skin: Its relaxing scent tends to get all the glory, but lavender oil is as soothing for your

complexion as it is for your mind. As a natural disinfectant, it's a great way to gently cleanse skin and fight existing blemishes. It can also help calm a nasty sunburn or other irritations.
For your mood: If you haven't tried using the smell of lavender to fall asleep, then you haven't truly gotten a blissful night of shut-eye. It's probably the most popular scent in aromatherapy to help calm and relax the mind—and it does the trick during the day, too.

 

 

For Instant Zen

Lotus Wei Quiet Mind Flower Essence Energy Mist, $40; rodales.com
What's in it: Coriander, clove, geranium, and lemon
For your skin: It's not just a chai tea ingredient—clove contains the natural antiseptic eugenol, which can help tackle existing blemishes and prevent them from returning. Coriander (also known as cilantro) is chock full of antioxidants and vitamin C, which help shield your complexion from free radicals. Geranium speeds healing and cell regeneration.
For your mood: Take our word on this: Leaving this mist within arm's reach is like being able to hit the refresh button on a stressful day (seriously). The reason might be that the starring scent is lemon, which is known in aromatherapy to lift morale and cleanse away negative energy. Coriander and geranium are natural de-stressers as well.

 

For a Little Creative Zest

Nahla Orange Blossom Balancing Toner, $40; nahlabeauty.com
What's in it: Orange blossom
For your skin: You may know orange blossom oil by its other name, neroli oil, which is certainly most reputed for its gorgeous scent—but it can also help normalize oil production, minimize pores, and fight inflammation. This formula also features witch hazel, which amplifies that effect.
For your mood: Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino fragrance has reached cult status among editors, but this might be why it inexplicably smells so good: In aromatherapy, neroli is used to soothe tension, lift a sour mood and even boost creativity.




 

An Energy Drink for Your Face

Poppy and Someday Ayurvedic + Healing Crystal Vata Aromatherapy Mist, $20; rodales.com
What's in it: Lemon verbena and rosemary
For your skin: Keep this handy to erase the evidence of a night out: Crunchy beauties like to rely on lemon verbena for its anti-aging and de-puffing effects, thanks to its high antioxidant content. Rosemary fights inflammation and helps skin retain moisture—and, like lemon verbena, will keep those under-eye bags in check.


 

To Soothe All Over

Sisley Botanical Floral Spray Mist, $100; sisley-paris.com
What's in it: Rose, witch hazel, and cornflower
For your skin: Rose is very kind to sensitive skin, decreasing inflammation and even targeting specific problems like psoriasis and redness thanks to its high antioxidant content. Witch hazel has similar properties, while cornflower cools and tones.
For your mood: Rose's sweet scent is so calming, it might even be helpful in combating mild headaches after a particularly trying day. Some find it particularly soothing for PMS symptoms.
