Neons

For the past few months, a big trend has been neons. It can be very trendy to wear, but if done wrong it will look extremely tacky. The best way to wear neons is to frame the neon piece with pastels. Make sure you avoid framing neons with other neons or mix-matching neons because that will look tacky big time.

Important Makeup of the Season - Bronzer

In Spring, you're still pale from winter, but with the sun out you don`t want to look white as snow. Bronzer is a girl`s best friend during the spring months until the hot days come. Here are a few amazing bronzers:

Hard Candy So Baked Bronzer


This bronzer has more than one tone which when mixed together gives you an amazing glow. My personal favourite is Hula Hula.

$7, Walmart

N.Y.C. Smooth Skin Bronzer


One of the things that can be annoying about bronzers is shimmer and sparkle which can make it look very unnatural. Sun to Sun is a very popular shade.

$5, Select Drugstores

E.L.F. Contouring Blush and Bronzer



The shade of this bronzer compliments any skin tone and the blush adds to it nicely. It can give you a nice glow and peachy cheeks.

Hope this article gave you ideas and prepared you for the warmer weather of Spring.
