Subtle Spring Colours | Dinosaur Soiree

Winter has come and gone and spring has finally arrived! (although it feels more like we went straight to summer) which means it's time for colour! But I feel like often people don't know how to incorporate colour into their makeup without looking like a clown (at least I didn't!) So I'm hoping this post will help you to include a little more colour into your spring makeup!

I don't know why, but when I go eyeshadow shopping, I'm ALWAYS dawn to the brightly coloured blues and greens, despite the fact that I'll probably never use them. There's just something about looking at bright colours and wanting to transform myself into a rainbow that I find very appealing!

So instead of throwing away lots of vivid eyeshadow colours, I have worked out a way to wear them and NOT look like a clown (phew!) The key is to be subtle, use your colour as an eyeliner or a highlight (as I did) or as a feature eyeshadow with lots of neutrals around it. If you're going to use colour, just stick to one or two colours and keep the rest neutral and you're all set! I paired my eye look with my Lime Crime lipstick in 'Geradium' which is my new favourite lipstick ever, especially for spring. If you stick to these guidelines you can wear colour everyday if you wish!










ps: you could also go completely crazy with colour of course, this was just for an everyday look!
