Spring makeup: eyes go bold
It's time to give spring an eyeful! The look for this season is bold and playful, with flashes of vibrant color really bringing out your peepers. From chalky pastels to disco-inspired metallics, the key here is boldness.
A good way to begin is with Guerlain's "Ecrin 4 Colors" palette, which includes easier golden and smoky bronzed shades as well as a pastel pink and deep khaki, which can be used at the inner or outer corners of the eye or run across the lids for effect. Chanel, too, has played things relatively safe with its pretty "Les Quatre Ombres" palette ($61) coming in various combinations of strong gun metals, soft creams and cherry pinks.
An excellent in-between option is Lancome's Spring Multipalette "My French Palette" ($58), which combines soft pink and beige shades with bolder turquoises and emeralds.
Dior, meanwhile, has embraced the theme wholeheartedly, launching a "Five Couleurs Kingdom Of Colors" especially for the season (€59, approximately $63), with the collection divided into pinks and greens. It is followed by the younger and punkier brand Urban Decay, which has launched its "Moondust" eyeshadows ($20 each) in six new iridescent metallic hues.
