Spring’s 2020 best makeup trends can be summed up in one word: FUN. So sorry to all of the low-key makeup people out there, but the days of no-makeup makeup and sheer washes of color are being put on pause for a bit.
Makeup maximalists, now is your time to shine. And even if you aren’t super bold with your makeup, these Spring 2020 trends give you an excuse to be a little more over the top. Pull out your multi-shade palettes and your colored liners—this spring, it’s all about mixing and matching the fun stuff, like intensely pigmented shades, pastels, bright neons, glossy textures, and lots of skin.
The 2020 Spring Trends:
Pastel Eyeshadow
Pastels are already a go-to this time of year and according to one brand, it’s the new neutral. Personally, these colors instantly remind me of all the Easter Sunday dresses I wore as a kid and the inevitable Easter egg hunts that would follow. But nostalgia aside, pastels are soft, yet bold and contrary to popular belief, versatile for all skin tones when using shades that best suit your complexion.
Feathered Brows
Thanks to the latest buzzy treatments like brow lamination, that bold, feathered finish is a goal for many this year. Regardless of the product, you use and how you decide to pull this look off, a brow gel like Anastasia Beverly Hills Clear Brow Gel is essential to lock all of your hard work in.
The clear gel formula works well on all hair colors and can be used over brow powders, creams or pencil.
Dramatic Eyeliner
There’s no one way to do this because every makeup wearer has their own version of “dramatic.” However, a sturdy and pigmented eyeliner will benefit everyone and anyone.
Exaggerated eyes
It’s all about creating gorgeous, exaggerated shapes; using softly blurred and blended blocks of color so they’re not too defined.
How to Wear Pastel Eyeshadows
1. Don’t be afraid to mix pastel shades – it always looks cute!
2. To take pastels from daytime to nighttime…
Accentuate the shape.
To make pastels pop, use a light-colored concealer as a base. I also used Urban Decay Primer Potion to prime the lid.
This works well for deeper skin tones, as pastel shades can have a tendency to look ashy. The concealer will also help to grip pigment in place to prevent fading.
Pastels look amazing in bold, block shapes.
A pair of false lashes will take your pastel look from pretty to fierce, instantly!
