Cat-Eyes

Once again the eyes have it! A cat-eye is the perfect accent to a bold lip or an over-the-top glam-inspired ode to Beyonce. (She werks the life out of a cat-eye…love, love, love her!) All you need is eyeliner, a steady hand and…Voila! Purrr-fect trendy eye makeup for Spring. Runway Inspiration: Alice + Olivia

Bright Lips

Add some pow to your pout in vivid hues like orange, coral, pink and red! You can never go wrong with a fab lipstick. It’s the best remedy for a beauty pick-me-up! Runway Inspiration: Betsey Johnson

High Messy Bun

Not only is this hairstyle easy to accomplish, but it looks like it’s straight out of a magazine editorial shoot! Simply sweep your hair up into a high pony, wrap the tail around the base and secure with hair pins. You can also leave out a few face-framing pieces for an intentionally unkempt look. Runway Inspiration: L.A.M.B

Barely-There Makeup

Spring is a light-hearted fresh time of year, so let your makeup look reflect this flirty season! Instead of applying your usual fully-made-up foundation look try using a tinted moisturizer or shimmery face/body cream for a sun-kissed glow. Runway Inspiration: BCBG Max Azria

Full Brows

I know, I know! It seems like just yesterday thinner, tailored brows seemed to be all the rage, but we’re turning a new page which means thicker brows are what’s haute right now! If you don’t have those lush Drake-eque brows, use an eyebrow pencil or powder to help you get the look!       Runway Inspiration: Michael Kors
