There are trends that will work for everyone when it comes to makeup this spring. But one thing is certain: simple, fresh looks are in!
Makeup artists at shows for Stella McCartney (pictured below), Jason Wu, Burberry (pictured above), Ralph Lauren, and Lanvin all chose to send fresh faced models down the runway, each with one bright accent. Some shows featured bright blue and green liners on the eyes, and others, a simple red lip.
Lanvin featured soft, smudged eyeliner for a bit of subtle drama (pictured above), while Ralph Lauren focused on flawless, radiant skin without any visible eye makeup (picutred below).
Each look is quite different from the next, but all are simple, easy and should have you looking gorgeous and out the door in just a few minutes!

As for cut, keep it simple! Ultra long hair reminiscent of ancient goddesses and mermaids is in. Choose a blunt or layered cut – whatever works best for your facial shape. (above photo: Just Cavalli Spring 2013)
If simple isn’t your thing, try the slightly wild half-shaved head – there are many variations of this look, from Rihanna’s subtle patch to shaving the entire side of the head complete with razored designs on the shaved portion. The look is even possible without any shaving required – one side of the head can be made to appear shaved by slicking it down with lots of mousse. Fortunately, the shaved patch can be covered by the rest of the hair if necessary – but beware, this look is best for those endowed with thick hair!
