As we ease out of winter, it means only one thing: spring makeup looks ahead! It's time to brighten things up and embrace all the exciting new spring makeup trends. This means
playful eyeliner, matte pastels, and
a whole lotta blush. Whether you're keeping up with these beauty trends or your signature beauty look follows your own unique style, it's definitely time to change things up with your makeup products for the lighter, floral-focused season. We did some digging, and in 2023, we can happily say striking eye makeup looks do not need to be complicated. That's right, you can give off glam, celebrity-makeup-artist vibes without actually being a pro MUA.
Grab your favorite eye shadow palette with plenty of pigment (and a glossy lip balm or your go-to lip color to top it off), because our list has something for everyone. Whether you're a minimalist or maximalist; a cat-eye stan or a smoky eye lover; a Maybelline girlie or a Pat McGrath loyalist; or you go for glowy over matte; you're about to bring the fresh season to life, regardless of skin tone, hair color, or anything else.
Prepare to call Getty because you'll be ready for your closeup. Did someone say Hailey Bieber runway during fashion week? OK, OK, we may be getting ahead of ourselves, but we will say we're so grateful that creativity has expanded and made it so much easier to create pro-level spring makeup looks from home.
1. Ethereal Pink
Shimmery, light, and steals the night! This soft, pinky-gold look features pops of color in all the right places. To amp up the intensity, pop a thicker liner on the lids. This user applied the ANASTASIA BEVERLY HILLS Blossom palette, which is no longer available, but any shades with shimmer will do!
2. Shimmery Gold
We're definitely sensing a theme here: Shimmer is in for spring. This look is easy to achieve. Use a burnt orange base, and pack a light, reflective gold onto the lid. Then grab a thin, angled brush and lightly glide the burnt orange over the lash line. It's giving springtime sunset, and we're here for it.
3. Effortlessly Bold
Whether you're rushing out the door or you simply want a quick pop of color, grabbing a vibrant eyeliner (à la the turquoise featured above) is an easy way to give your look a springy boost. Top it off with a tiny swipe of white in the waterline for some added flair.
