Looking for new ways to change up your look this season? You don't have to fall prey to the usual pastels and light colors associated with spring. This year it’s all about color and color to brighten up our winter faces. Try these new looks to the office, on your date, or out on the town. Wherever you go, make sure you've got a bright smile to match these new looks!
Denim eyes - Blue jeans aren't just for your clothes anymore. Blend a wash of denim colored eyeshadow across your lids for a cool look that is appropriate for almost all occasions. Start with color just a tad up past your lids, and blend higher towards your brow bone for a more evening look.
Peacock shadows - You can learn a lot from your fellow beautifully feathered friend. Bold peacock feather inspired eyes are dramatic and attention grabbing, a look best used for the evening. An easy way to achieve this look is with 4 shadows. 3 shades of purple eyeshadow; light lavender, a medium purple, a dark plum and lastly a teal. Apply the lavender all over the lid, the medium purple over lids, and dark plum into the outer corners. Apply the teal into your inner corners for the last burst of color.

Mango lips - Let fruits help you get ready for summer! An orangey- coral lipstick with gold flecks over lips is the quickest way to update your look. Swipe it on while you’re on the go with a dust of bronzer across your cheeks for a look that's warm and cheerful. Hello positivity!
Rose gold - Rose gold is universally flattering on any skin tone and can be used anywhere on the face. A wash of rose gold over the lids warms the face, lightly dusted over the cheeks gives a youthful shimmery flush, and over the lips brightens the lip.
Orchid pink lipstick - Bright pink on the lips can look overdone when both opaque and glossy or when paired with heavily shaded eyes but can be wonderfully coy and understated when worn essentially alone matte and blotted. Apply two swipes to the lips and blot in-between both layers. Wear with just one coat of mascara and almost invisible blush to keep the overall look simple.
