Spring Cosmetic Trends 2017 - Get Ready to Pucker Up and Blush and Glow ! #beautyblog #beauty #cosmetics #beautytrends




Blush is playing a huge part of the Spring cosmetic trend, according to Harper's Bazaar Best Makeup Trends of 2017  

Heavy and bold or light and demure, be ready to see new looks in the applications of blush that you may not have seen before or in quite a while. This is not for the subtle ones.

Many top models are being seen on runways wearing blush from cheek to temple and the trend is really hot right now.   From dark reds to light pinks, the look is making a huge color statement.

Another trend according to Harper's Bazaar is bold lips and we aren't just talking red.
Colors like peach, electric orange, fuschia and even color blocking in daring shades like purple and grey were seen backstage at many fashion shows.  Lip textures are also a big trend this Spring.
Look for matte cherry and neon pinks.  Get ready to make a statement beauties!

Glow sticks are making a big statement this Spring.  I actually received a beautiful glow stick in my Allure beauty box by Cargo Colorstick in Champagne.  I love the color and it highlights my face with a pretty warm glow.  It is available on Cargocosmetics.com

I love this fresh dewy look.

Are you ready for bold eyes?

  This Spring,  one of the trends is all about the bold and dramatic eye or the other extreme of nude eyes.  Paris models were seen wearing bold purples, blues, emerald greens and more.




If you notice, although the shadows are bold, the rest of the eye is naked.  This, to me, helps to tone down the look and make it more attractive.

Finally the smokey eye continues to stay on trend, with a bit of a smudged twist.  Eyeliners should only be worn smudged and imperfect this spring.



If you fall asleep with your makeup on, you could probably just wake up and walk out the door and be on trend.  I am not trying to tell you to do that, but I am trying to give you an idea of how casual the look of your eyes should be for Spring.  No precision application needed.  Just smudge and go, literally.

I love this Giorgio Armani look

This look was achieved with navy eye shadow smudged on top and black eye liner traced on bottom.  This, to me is a perfect night look. (Notice the bold earrings)

Get out there and show your confidence this Spring beauties!  Oh and don't forget the glitter


Yes, glitter brows were seen backstage at Maison Martin Margiela.  They certainly are futuristic.

The colors are true to pallet and are very soft and beautiful. These colors can take you through all of the Seasons because they are perfect to be worn anytime of the year.  I especially love how well they cover with one coating.

·      April - ZP824: A light, rosy toned neutral that is a modern take on blush.

·      Eastyn - ZP825: A subtle grayed grape that is more interesting than mauve and
gives a modern alternative that is ever so wearable.

·      Misty - ZP827: An easy to wear taupe that is an updated version of gray with
just a touch of green to make it daring.

·         Ireland - ZP826: A uniquely wearable green that is muted enough to make it subtle
yet still interesting. This green is well balanced between blue & yellow so it’s
flattering on all skin tones.

·         Lake - ZP828: A softened blue that gives the effect of serene water with just a
hint of vibrancy to preserve its luminosity.
