Fall may be known for dramatic makeup, but spring is when you can really play with colours and textures. This spring has a lot to offer for gals who like to glam it up. Here are a few notable trends that caught our attention:

Spring/Summer 2012 Makeup Trends

Don't even get me started on bright nail polish. I love to wear yellows, oranges, bright blue or pink on my nails. It's just so fun and can liven up an otherwise boring outfit. Bright lipstick can be really flattering, especially on pale skin tones. But if you find it too brash, you can opt for a sheer gloss, butter or tinted balm. We love these colours:

Sephora by OPI Betsey Johnson Too Too Scented Lacquer in It's my Pink, $9.50
Lise Watier Gloss Aquarella in Rose Aquarella, $20
Estee Lauder Pure Color Nail Lacquer in Teal Topaz, $19.95
Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in Rossetto, $7
Joe Fresh Matte Lipstick in Orange, $6
Joe Fresh Nail Polish, $6
Hello Kitty Apple Balm, $10
Lancome Lipstick in French Touch Absolu in Cotton Candy, $35

Purple is one of those colours that looks great on just about everyone. Green eyes pop, brown eyes smoulder and lavender shades are playfully pretty on blue eyes. How about:

I recently bought the Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate Lipstick in Rossetto and the colour is really pretty and it smells good too imo! I wanted to try an orange lipstick but all the ones I looked at were either not orangey enough or scary orange, like something I dont think i could pull off. I did find an orange tone lip butter thats cute and not too out there though and Im liking it. That essie polish is pretty too, ive picked it up at the store a couple times and debated getting it. That Joe Fresh nail polish colour is real cute too!
