Glowing skin is the key to looking youthful and healthy! Luminosity can be feigned easily and unnoticeably with every girls best friend, makeup. The trick to achieve this fresh, bright look is to apply highlighter to specific areas to illuminate our features.  Grab our Studio Angled Blush Brush and swirl it around the Studio Blush 'Gotta Glow'. Tap the brush to remove any excess product and apply the highlighter to high points of the cheekbones (just above where you'd apply your blush), under the brows, and to the cupids bow (just above your top lip) for a gorgeous glow!

Which do look you prefer- Luminous or Matte?

We're liking pastels for the Spring, but we're LOVING bright colors, prints and patterns even more! Wear a whole outfit full of electric, exploding color or wear a single accessory that will stand out and look ultra-chic. Like Lauren Conrad, we adore cute sun dresses that just scream "perfection!" Be bold. Try color blocking, putting together solid colors like orange and purple, hot pink and orange, blue and yellow. Color blocking can look sleek and effortlessly cute, just be careful with how you pair your pieces together. If it's done wrong you can end up looking like a rainbow and thats a definite Fashion DON'T. Try sticking with one to three hues at most.

Orange lips are a total DO! Celebrities have been rocking this bright lip all season long at the Golden Globes and MTV Movie Awards! This hue adds elegance and refined beauty to any nighttime look, plus it's the perfect alternative to the Winter berry lip. To successfully wear orange lips you have to apply with careful, precise application- we like to trace concealer around the edge of the lips for a crisp look. Try this daring look for yourself using our Matte Lip Color  in 'Coral' if you have a lighter skin tone, or 'Praline' if you have a darker skin tone. Not a fan of matte lips? Just apply our Essential Super Glossy Lip Shine in 'Honey Do' in Hoedhjskdj or our Mineral Lip Gloss  in 'Fierce'  to finish off your look. Our go-to product is our  Essential Lipstick  in 'Captivating' for a quick one step tangerine pout!

Will YOU rock the Orange lip this Spring/Summer?
