March is here, so spring is coming, so wardrobes and boudouirs have to be made again, so shopping has to be done, so... AAAAAAAAARGH! Too much stress!! O_o

Anyways, if you narrow down what the trends this spring are, you may have a crearer idea of what suits you best. So, let's dive into them now, shall we?

1. Emerald everything

And I don't mean ABSOLUTELY everything, just a few pops of colors here and there. This rule is not only included in fashion, but also in beauty. An emerald nail polish, a nice smudged green line through the laces makes a big difference.

 2. Matte Lipcolors

 The colors for this season aren't very restricted, you can put yourself out there with reds and corals and pinks and berries, whatever. But make sure to always keep it matte. I love my LOVIE lipsticks (a brand that no one has ever heard of) and my Maybelline Color Sensationals at the moment for that job!

The trick to have pretty matte lips is to always keep them hydrated, so keep your Liposans with ya and pout those suckers out! :P

3. Natural Looking Lashes

Those lovely little dark lines of hair that are delicately curled that you see all over the magazines and you wonder: "Why can't I do that?" every time you apply your mascara and it turns out all spikey and clumpy (which is still nice, but a whole different look). Still, it's really easy...

All you have to do after curling your lashes, is to take your mascara wand and with a tissue wipe off the extra product very well. Then apply mascara as usual. A very practical tutorial about this is by the legendary Mary Greenwell, the make up artist of Princess D (just felt like throwing a tutorial as well!)

4. Sixties

And yes, the mod aera is back!! The twinlky bottom lashes, the blackest black eyeliner and the matte skin have always been my faves. The trick is the the eyeliner gets graphic, so you're free to do anything, from Twiggy's iconic look to Lade Gaga's "Judas" liner.

A few examples:

5. Neutral Nails

Another pretty trend that everybody loves (and if they don't they just should!) cause it's simple and easy! Adamo has some very nice neutral colors if you can get your hands on any of them (plus, they're really cheap, like 4 euros a bottle) and Essie has a wide range as well for a more professional result, like Figi, Minimalistic, San Tropez, Mucho Dinero and Bangle Jangle.

That's all for today! Have a nice week! :D
