Pow!! Right in the kisser..

Most powerful makeup tip: Girls of color.. don't be afraid of color!! 
Color is our friend, you'll surprise yourself if you step out of finding the perfect shade of brown for your cheeks and lips. Not that it's not cool every once in a while when you're going for that neutral brown, Beyonce'd out, everything blends kind of look. But when you really want to pop (and I don't mean that scary kind of POP), color is the way to go!

Coral power! 
I call it my go-to color because, anyone can rock a coral.


I am all about a pretty coral lip from the peak of spring to late August. It's a look that gets hotter with the weather. It's just what we need in the spring to spruce things up and add some uummpph to the face.. and when your tan gets popping, it truly compliments the complexion.  

Try one of these.. in small doses.
Laura Mercier: Sheer Lip Colour in Kissed Lips
Too Faced: Full Bloom Cheek and Lip in Prim & Poppy
MAC Cosmetics: Vegas Volt


Take it easy: Sheer the color out by adding a little bit of sheer gloss to your lips to the lips after a good blot. 
Or you can use your lip brush or fore finger to press the color into the lips.
Then apply gloss on top.

For cheeky hues..
Full Bloom : Prim & Poppy works great as a blush for a fresh flush of color.
Alternative: Cherry Creme Blush by MAC Cosmetics

Have fun with it!

Okay, so I have one more spring obsession to share with you.. My Easter color fetish, that I never want to let go of...

Zoya Polish in Bevin It's a packed with color which means you can do fewer coats and Zoya lasts and lasts and lasts.. Love! It!!
Zoya Nail Polish: Bevin.. perfect for spring
