But before we get started here are some simple skin tips to ensure that your skin is up to par before applying makeup.

  1. Drink lots of water.
  2. Eat a diet that consists of fruits and vegetables.
  3. Try to use make up that's organic, or is free as possible from harsh chemicals.
  4. Always thoroughly remove your makeup at night. And you could use natural oils like jojoba and coconut for your nighttime moisturizer as well.

OK, so now that we have the skin covered, let's chat about the different looks.

1. Simple but pretty

Now this one, for me, would be like bronze and gold tones on the eyes, a little mascara with a nice bright pop or bronze on the lips. You could also highlight your cheekbones with those same tones as well.

2. Shimmery, baby

This look is all about shining bright! You want to choose eye palettes that have sparkly undertones. If you're using neutral tones, a bright or nude lip can work. But you want to add some lip gloss to give it that extra pop. Contouring is a great way to let the entire look stand out as well.

3. All about the eyes

My ultimate favorite part of the face to work on are the eyes. I truly believe that when your eyes stand out, it just does something pretty amazing for your entire face. It's spring, so don't be afraid to use some color. Blues, purples, and greens work well. Add your mascara and falsies too! You could go simple with your lip color. Nudes and pinks pair well.

4. Barely there

So, just like it says, barely there is simply applying minimal make up. A simple eye color preferably in the nude, gold or bronze palettes again. But very little works best. You can apply some mascara and a little eyeliner, with a nude lip. Gloss is optional.

5. The smoky eye

I think this one works for any season! Don't be afraid to use other colors, like browns and blues. Keep it simple. For the lips, keep them nude, pink or add a bright color. Oranges, purples, pinks and reds always work well.
