Arbonne: Spring Beauty Trends

Yes, it is Spring and no, you wouldn't know it in chilly NYC right now! With that being said, below are some of the top wearable spring 2016 beauty trends along with the product essentials you need to quickly and easily create the look at home.

Poppy Lipstick. Red lipstick is classic of course, but never have makeup artists been as united on the shade front as they were this season. Indulge in a dose of moisture that's been married with color in Arbonne Smoothed Over Lipstick in Poppy ($28).This luxurious formula is ultra-soft and delivers an efficacious blend of skin-conditioning watermelon and apple extracts to help lock in moisture, and peptides to help lips look instantly plumper.

Naturally Tan Sheen. For the bronzed city girl, the desert wanderer or the coastline beach babe - It all starts with a good foundation. Arbonne's Got You Covered Mineral Powder Foundation Broad Spectrum SPF 15 Sunscreen ($42) silky-smooth, feather-light mineral powder transforms any complexion to perfection.

Sunset Streak Lids. Pinks and peaches are usually reserved for lips, but this spring we are seeing them on the lids as well. Try Arbonne's Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Petal ($19) – Its richly pigmented, mineral-infused eye shadow adds warmth and creates eye-opening looks.  

Pastel Glazed Lips. Lock it all in with Arbonne Glossed Over Lip Gloss in Linden ($24). Like all of Arbonne's products, the lip gloss is free of parabens and synthetic dyes, so you can feel good about what you're wearing. Polymers deliver your lip's fix of hydration as the hydro-lipid layer of the fluid gloss evenly disperses pigments that are sure to make your smile pop.

Spring Looks: Bright Lips, Dewy Skin and Glossy Hair

For this season and beyond into Summer, I’m thinking….BRIGHT lips, DEWY skin and GLOSSY hair.

LIPS – SMASHBOX BE LEGENDARY LIPSTICK in Legendary for a True Red (Pink tones) and Fireball Matte for an Orange-Red (Olive and darker tones) fit the bill and I love their long lasting wear!

Smashbox Lead Pro-Global artist and friend, Lori Taylor-Davis, gives a tip on picking the perfect red lip. Lori says “Choose cooler "true" red tones with a bit of blue if you have pink in your skin or are super fair-skinned. A warmer orange-red tone works best for olive-skinned women."

DEWY SKIN – SMASHBOX HALO FOUNDATION AND LUMENE BRIGHT NOW VITAMIN C BB CREAM + BB SERUM

The best thing to make skin glow is to use a dewy foundation/bb cream for lighter coverage and an illuminator, like the Lumene BB Serum! With illuminating LIGHT PIGMENTS it helps to catch light and diffuse dark circles, spots and lines!

SHINY, GLOSSY HAIR – CONAIR INFINITI PRO ARGAN OIL BRUSH with TOUCHBACK SHAMPOO and NIOS SHIELD LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER

To get bouncy, shiny, healthy hair, there’s nothing better than ARGAN OIL – which moisturizes without weighing hair down. 

All of these products are meant to nourish hair from the inside out, with the added bonus of TOUCHBACK SYSTEM, a COLOR DEPOSITING shampoo and conditioner that adds sheen and gloss to hair (and happens to be available EVERYWHERE in drugstores like CVS)!
