After the long months of total grayness and boredom of winter, spring feels like a breath of fresh air. Bright colors, weightless textures, the desire for romance and lightness - all this is true for the current spring makeup 2021. What are the main trends seen on the glossy covers and fashion shows, and most importantly, how to create the most trendy spring makeup? Look for all the details in the article.

Skin preparation

Spring makeup, like any other makeup, should start with proper skin preparation. We have already told you in detail about how you need to change your care with the arrival of warmth, let's stop only on the main accents. It is important to remember that the trend now is well-groomed, moisturized, glowing skin.

The precleansing stage with the use of cleansing water will help to create the effect of glowing skin from within. Working along massage lines without friction, gently remove impurities from the skin, then apply hydrogel mask-patch for instant toning and moisturizing.

Don't forget that express methods are not enough for basic care, so apply your favorite face cream and eye cream. These are fundamentally different products with different compositions, which should be chosen according to the needs of your skin. After waiting for the products to be fully absorbed, use a makeup base for additional skin radiance and better adherence of the tone to its surface. Remember that trend makeup is a light and fresh look, which is impossible without proper skin preparation.

Color palette

As a rule, the current color palette for each season is formed by the Pantone Color Institute. This year's fashionable spring-summer makeup is dedicated to calm pastel shades of lilac, lavender or young greens. Fans of juicy color experiments and more contrasting shades will also fall in love with the colors of coral, amethyst, crimson, purple and rich ochre color.

Spring makeup trends suggest bold combinations of not only complimentary shades, but also colors opposite on the color wheel in the style of color-blocking. Do not be afraid to go beyond the ordinary, do not hesitate to show your individuality, give free rein to creativity and boldly combine different colors and textures. Or play with mono-makeup, which implies the implementation of makeup in one color scheme, and often with one product.

Attention to the eyebrows

Spring-summer makeup trends continue to emphasize eyebrows. Beautiful, thick, well-groomed and carelessly combed upwards eyebrows of natural color continue to be the main element of the image. Cara Delavigne-style makeup (mussed eyebrows and natural-colored shadows) is now a timeless classic.

Emphasis on the eyes

Spring makeup trends are an eye-catching look with a softly blended arrow. Let's tell you more about how to achieve such an effect:

Step 1.

For additional stability of shadows and good adhesion of the eyelid skin with the decorative product, use a shadow base. It should be applied with soft, beating movements with a brush or finger pads.

Apply eye shadow base to the entire mobile eyelid

A little trick - to achieve a beautiful monochromatic effect and a perfect match with the shade of the coating on the lips, lipstick can be applied on the eyelids. A small amount of product gently smudge along the edges. Remember that it is desirable to choose a matte, long-lasting lipstick.  

Use matte lipstick as eyeshadow

Duplicate and consolidate the lipstick shade with a nice pink shadow color. They instantly refresh the image, make the look open and rested.

With a firm cream eye pencil, draw an interlash line. This will make the growth line of eyelashes more expressive. Work carefully, slightly lifting and pulling the eyelid.

Draw an arrow with a sturdy eye pencil

Apply the same pencil on the lower eyelid, blending the edges into a nice light haze. Such a smoky effect will give a more soft eye makeup, but will make the look more daring.

Flatten the pencil on the eyelids into a soft haze

Don't forget about your lashes. Use any long-lasting mascara for additional lengthening, volume and fixing a beautiful curve.

Face and lips

Contrary to popular stereotypes, hard contouring in the style of the Kardashian family has long been out of fashion. And even to even out your complexion and camouflage minor nuances, you can use a light BB cream instead of a matte tone. It gives a more natural, vibrant and light coverage, but still makes your face look fresh and radiant.

Lipstick can also be used as a blush

Moisturize your lips with balm and only after this step apply matte lipstick

Don't be afraid to experiment, play with different shades and textures, because the main trend of makeup 2021 is complete freedom from stereotypes and other people's opinions.
